[Lwvcnmtopics] Sept 30: Support Local, Independent News in NM!

[Patricia Lopez]

Hello, League members!

I sit on the advisory board of NM Local News Fund – a nonprofit that
supports independent journalism across the state – and we'd love to invite
you to the first ever *New Mexico Local News Summit* on *Saturday, Sept
30th*. Their amazing team works to shed light on local reporting and bridge
the gaps in our journalism. From fostering young talent to securing state
funding for rural community journalism, they help ensure the future of
local news.

The Summit is Sept 29-30 in ABQ and they need the support of regular people
like you and me. You can learn more here:
https://www.nmlocalnews.org/summit2023/. Tickets are $49 or $25 for
students. If you're interested but the cost is prohibitive, let me know. *I'm
happy to sponsor any League of Women Voter member in NM who would like to
attend*.

Cheers!
Trish
