We wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone who showed out for our CHER the Movement event! Thanks to you, our event was totally sold out—so not only did we have a full house of fun and community, but we also more than doubled our fundraising goal! The drag performances were amazing, the auction items were hot, and the sense of love and community was absolutely palpable.
Elected officials who attended included Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver, Probate Judge Cristy Carbόn-Gaul, Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard, Congresswoman Stansbury, and a whole host of state representatives, including Representatives Egolf, Herndon, Dixon, and Thomson, and Senators Hamblen, Jaramillo, Pope, and Stefanics. What a list! We are so grateful that so many New Mexico officials came to support and interact with the state’s LGBTQ community.
Thank you once again to those of you who came out to have fun with us while also serving your community. It was a fantastic time, and the funds we raised make us better equipped for the fight for queer and trans liberation. This is our movement!
