ACP&J Events and News

Hiring for Newsletter Support: The Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice is seeking support to help write this monthly newsletter! This is a paid position estimating 6-10 hours a work per month (all online). Please write to council@abqpeaceandjustice.org if you are interested.

July 2: ABQ Cine Club has been showing socialist films and films from the Global South since 2023 at The ABQ Center for Peace and Justice. They will be hosting another screening on July 2 at 6pm, of “War at A Distance”. In 1991, when images of the Gulf War flooded the international media, it was virtually impossible to distinguish between real pictures and those generated on computer. This is the central premise of “War at a Distance”, which sets out to define the relationship between military strategy and industrial production and sheds light on how the technology of war finds applications in everyday life.

July 9: Know Your Rights Teach In hosted by Workers for a New Southwest with presentations from lawyers, members of WNS, and other tenant organizers including from the Los Angeles Tenant Union.

July 16: ABQ Cine Club and ACP&J are teaming up for a film night and fundraiser to bring medical supplies to Cuba. We will screen the film, “Memories of Underdevelopment”, which is considered one of the most renowned films in the history of Cuban cinema about the island post-revolution. Please bring medical supplies, and if you can’t make the event, feel free to drop off supplies at The Center at another time.

Fresh paint! The ABQ Center for Peace and Justice got a fresh coat of paint 🪜🎨 ✨ Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make this happen, and in such a short time!

Call to join subcommittees: If you are looking for a way to plug into The ACP&J activities, please consider joining a subcommittee, in which we do work in focused meetings with other members. This includes Building Maintenance and Upgrades, Fundraising, Programming, Tabling and Policy subcommittees.
