Tuesday, October 19 @ 6-7:30 PM
Nancy Rodriguez Community Center (1 Prairie Dog Loop)
This Santa Fe County town hall on Tuesday! Many of us do not know that the roads by our homes & schools have been used to transport radioactive waste from the Waste Isolation Power Plant (WIPP) to Los Alamos National Labs (LANL)! There are plans to expand WIPP in Carlsbad and that can lead to even more trucks transporting waste! One accident can be disastrous! Let's not risk our safety & health! If you live anywhere off of 599 from the houses & trailers off the Frontage Road to the trailers & apartments lining the highway you're at risk!
Attend the meeting & learn more & express your concerns.

Martes 19 de Octubre @ 6-7:30 PM
Lugar: Nancy Rodriguez Community Center (1 Prairie Dog Loop)
Este es el ayuntamiento de la ciudad de Santa Fe! Muchos de nosotros no sabemos que las carreteras cercanas a nuestros hogares están siendo usadas para transportar desechos radioactivos de la Planta de Energía de Aislamiento Radioactivo (WIPP) a los Laboratorios de Los Álamos (LANL)! Existen planes para expandir WIPP en Carlsbad y ello puede repercutir en una mayor tránsito de desechos. ¡Un accidente podría ser desastroso! ¡Evitemos el riesgo a nuestra salud y seguridad! Si vives en una área cercana a la carretera 599 de las casas y remolques (parqueaderos) enfrente de Frontage Road a las casas móviles que bordean la carretera estás en peligro!

Ground Breaking on the Southside Teen Center Site!
September 14, 2021
Southside Teen Center Ground Breaking Ceremony
Zona Del Sol, Santa Fe, New Mexico
On Tuesday, September 14, Earth Care youth leaders took part in the groundbreaking for the Southside Teen Center. Thank you Seneca from YUCCA & Alicia from the Boys & Girls Club for your leadership on this important community asset. We're excited to continue putting youth voices at the front of this development & excited for the possibilities for the solar, LEED certifications and more holistic construction!
We're excited that we will finally have a space to come together as young people, and to develop awesome programs and opportunities with youth voices guiding the process every step of the way. We want to take this momentum and opportunity to ask the City and the state of New Mexico to invest even more into the development of this whole site as an intergenerational hub -- for learning, growth, and community-building. A center for civic and cultural life here on the Southside. Not the only one -- we need a lot more public investment down here. But this Zona Del Sol site, with the Teen Center - as a center point, is a critical investment.
For us this is part of a larger campaign we call - Youth at the Center -- a campaign to place young people and our voices, our needs, and our leadership at the center of development initiatives here in Santa Fe. In 2019, we led the community engagement work for the design. We spoke to 100s of youth in our Southside neighborhoods who contributed their ideas and visions -- to the design of the teen center - but also to a vision of how our community’s investment can serve our community for years to come. You can check out our Teen Center report from 2019, HERE.
Thank you City of Santa Fe, City Staff, our Councilors Roman Tiger Abeyta & Chris Rivera, and our State leadership Linda Serrato, Sen. Rodriguez and all those supporting the development of the Southside Teen Center!

Spanish speakers who need help with basic literacy and education, including computer skills, will now have a new place to learn here on the Southside.
The program is for Spanish-speaking adults (of any nationality) to work on their elementary and secondary education, all for free. It will consist of different certified courses, including primary education and computer classes, basic literacy in Spanish and beginner English lessons.
