…as told & written by @SFCCNM #adjunct #JessicaLawless, Recently, @MirandaMerklein, my friend and sister adjunct activist here in New Mexico sent me this disturbing article from the Albuquerque Journal on NM adjuncts
The paper doesn't allow comments
without having a subscription so I wrote a letter to the editor (see below) to the
editor and another to the journalist who wrote the article, as well as emailing him at mbush@abqjournal.com.
I also have been sending the links and my reply around FB and Twitter.
The article is typical of the
challenging terrain we have in New Mexico. Despite being one of the
most impoverished states in the country, it is also one of the most
stunningly beautiful places in the country. That lived tension plays
out on a daily basis through an imposed norm that we should not talk
about our struggles, we should instead focus on how lucky we are.
