Albuquerque, N.M..–– The leadership at Dream In Action NM, the electoral arm of NM Dream Team––the largest immigrant youth-led organization in New Mexico––, issued the following statement announcing its endorsement of Emma Jones, seeking to serve in Albuquerque Public Schools Board, District 5.

Today, we are proud to officially endorse Emma Jones for Albuquerque Public Schools Board, District 5. Jones understands that in order to start to reduce racial and ethnic disparities institutionally includes training on systemic racism for all staff and employees. She has shown commitment to elevate that the way to address disparities is by committing to and funding the implementation of restorative justice practices in school and committing to police and ICE free campuses.

We look forward to working alongside a great progressive leader like Jones who will help elevate the voices of historically underrepresented communities in our education decisions for a prosperous today and tomorrow!
