Second Annual Gracias Bus Tour Kicks off April 28 in Las Cruces
Santa Fe- The second annual Gracias Bus Tour, an event that coincides with the New Mexico Film Festival and the International Worker’s Day celebration, starts in Las Cruces on Thursday, April 28th and concludes in Santa Fe on Sunday May 1st. The tour celebrates the work organized labor has done to improve the lives of New Mexicans and will thank legislators, state officials and members of the federal delegation who have stood with workers.
“Organized labor brought an end to child labor, helped enact a 40 hour work week, and continue to fight for fair wages and income equality,” said Senate Majority Leader Michael S. Sanchez (D-29-Valencia, Bernalillo) . “Senate Democrats are committed to strengthening New Mexico by supporting organized labor’s tradition of putting working families first.”
In addition to Las Cruces and Santa Fe, the bus tour will stop in Truth or Consequences, Los Lunas and Albuquerque. For additional information, visit the New Mexico Working Families website.
