Reclaiming and Restoring

New Mexico

from Sacrifice Zone

to the Land of Enchantment

with

Chris Hedges

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and activist,

graduate Harvard Divinity School,

ordained Presbyterian minister,

former professor at Princeton University,

author of 11 books, including New York Times best-seller “Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt” (2012). 

There are corners of this country (like New Mexico) where Americans are trapped in endless cycles of poverty, powerlessness, and despair

as a direct result of capitalistic greed.

 Journalist Chris Hedges calls these places “Sacrifice Zones.”

“These are areas that have been destroyed for quarterly profit. We’re talking

about environmentally destroyed, communities destroyed,

human beings destroyed, families destroyed.”
