(HB 108)

Representatives Eleanor Chavez, along with 4 other co-sponsors, are introducing a House Memorial calling on New Mexico's congressional delegation to advocate for an immediate cease-fire in Palestine. This Memorial is currently scheduled to be heard by the House Judiciary Committee, which has many Reps from the Santa Fe area on it. Let's call them and let them know we want this Memorial heard and voted on!
