Commentary: Rio Rancho, NM - The New Mexico Federation of Democratic Women are hosting Pantsuit Power Workshops Saturday, June 3, 2017 to kick off Democrats’ Resistance Summer Program. The Pantsuit Power Workshops is a full-day training program for community members looking to organize against the reckless Republican agenda being pushed by President Trump and Republicans in the state.
At the workshops participants will learn how to plan events, advocate for issues at the local, state and national levels, increase voter registration, and effectively engage communities to improve the quality of life for New Mexicans across the state. Anyone interested in getting involved in their communities is welcome to attend.
President of the New Mexico Federation of Democratic Women Pam Cordova said, “When we work together and empower our people, our policies will match our values. These workshops will provide valuable information and training for grassroots organizers who want to make a real difference in their communities and prepare for upcoming elections.”
The main event will include a keynote address from New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas, who said, “At this time in our country, it’s more important than ever for everyone to get involved and work to ensure our neighbors and communities are protected from the harmful agenda being pushed by this administration. I look forward to being a part of this program that will give people the tools to make positive change in our state."

In announcing the Democrats' Resistance Summer program, Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Tom Perez said, “There has been an explosion of activism and energy after the election of Donald Trump, and we need to turn this moment into a movement. As the Democratic Party, it is our role to support this activism and energy, and convert it into electoral wins up-and-down the ballot by making sure state parties have the tools and resources they need to succeed.”
