Santa Fe Local Frequency: Capitol Action, Faith Leaders Speak Out, Community Events

Published 2 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Wednesday, February 25th. We're starting your day with what's happening around our community and what you should know about.

First up, there's significant activity happening at the state capitol as lawmakers continue their session. A major effort to pass a bill banning certain types of semiautomatic firearms has stalled in the House, and supporters of that measure are making their voices heard in the aftermath. The debate over weapons policy remains contentious, with gun rights advocates continuing to push back against the proposed restrictions. It's a developing story that's capturing plenty of attention from folks on both sides of the issue.

On a national stage affecting our region, Archbishop John C. Wester of Santa Fe joined with bishops from across the country in releasing a statement yesterday addressing immigration enforcement. The religious leaders are calling for reforms to how immigration laws are carried out, emphasizing the need to protect human dignity and prevent family separations. They're also urging protection for sensitive locations like schools and houses of worship from enforcement actions. This statement came just hours before the President's State of the Union address, and it reflects deep concerns within our faith communities about immigration policy.

Now let's talk about things to do around Santa Fe today and in the coming weeks. The Santa Fe Community College is hosting a Spring Transfer Fair, so if you're thinking about continuing your education or changing schools, that's worth checking out. For culture enthusiasts, the Museum of International Folk Art has daily admissions available if you're looking to spend some time with world art and textiles. Over in Albuquerque, there are multiple events if you're willing to make the drive, including ghost tours of Old Town, history walks along Route 66, and an Indigenous Freeways exhibition showcasing Southwest wildstyle art running through June. If you enjoy live music, Santa Fe Brewing is hosting the City Different Jazz Trio, and there's a Pint Night happening there as well.

The weather should be pleasant for getting out and about, so it's a good day to explore what our community has to offer. Whether you're interested in civic engagement, cultural experiences, or just enjoying some local entertainment and hospitality, there's something for everyone happening around Santa Fe.

This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
