Pam Roy, director of Farm to Table New Mexico and coordinator of the New Mexico Food and Agriculture Policy Council, was a panelist at the Interfaith Hunger Coalition's online forum on April 12, 2021. The Zoom event featured a discussion of the anti-hunger legislation addressed during the 2021 session of the New Mexico State Legislature.
What is the role of faith-based advocacy in the New Mexico State Legislature? Kurt Rager, director of the Lutheran Advocacy Ministry-New Mexico, offers his insights on how his organization and others respond to hunger and poverty initiatives addressed by the legislature.
Kurt Rager also spoke about two important issues that LAM-NM (and its partner the New Mexico Conference of Churches) supported: Early Childhood Education and a cap on interest rates for short-term loans (sometimes known as payday loans).
