Join the Sierra Club Rio Grande Chapter for a community meeting with Mariela Ruiz-Angel, the Albuquerque Community Safety Department (ACS) coordinator. She will talk about the new department that will give 9-1-1 dispatchers an unarmed, trained professional alternative for situations when police are not always the right option. Members of the public can also ask questions and provide feedback to help inform the development of the new department.
No matter the environment we live in and want to protect, whether it’s wildlands, river ecosystems, fighting for clean air and water, or making our city and urban settings safe, every person should have the right to live with full dignity and respect regardless of the environment they live in and starting with police reform is a good first step
