The New Mexico Interfaith Dialogue will be having a Zoom meeting on Thursday September 21st, 7:00 pm -8:30 pm. Our speaker will be Rachel Rodriquez. She will give an overview of the organization, HopeWorks and its efforts to shift from the rhetoric of “ending homelessness” to “healing homelessness”.
