PROJECT VICINITY MAP

The 2020 Neighbor to Neighbor Campaign is Underway!

The Neighbor to Neighbor campaign will be a Fund Drive only for 2020 to preserve public health. Moving to a fund drive will make Neighbor to Neighbor easier to participate in than ever before. Everyone who wants to join this year’s drive will be able to donate with a check or credit card.

Hunger is constant in the lives of many especially now with unemployment soaring and so many laid off. It is time to come together as a community to show how much we care about families in need and how our appreciation for efforts of The Food Depot. The Food Depot is an integral part of the fabric of northern New Mexico helping in so many ways with their service programs and food distribution to over 145 non-profit agencies throughout the nine northern counties.

The Neighbor to Neighbor Food Drive is THE largest single-day food drive in northern New Mexico benefiting The Food Depot. In 2019 160 neighborhoods and businesses collected over 365,000 lbs of food. Your neighborhood or business can be a part of this important event. Our challenge is to grow those numbers in 2020. We can do this together with your help.

The Neighbor to Neighbor Annual Food Drive has grown from 14 neighborhoods in 2012 to 106 in 2018, collecting over 241,116 lbs. in food and monetary donations last year.

The Food Depot plays an important role in distributing food to Northern New Mexicans who struggle with hunger. Hunger is constant in the lives of many in The Food Depot's service area where over 38,000 food insecure people live, including over 13,000 children who often go to bed hungry. The Food Depot distributes enough food to provide over 430,000 meals per month. Our local food bank does so much more than just feed people - it changes their lives - one meal at a time.

Please help SENA in making the 2019 Neighbor to Neighbor Food Drive the most successful yet. Additional information about the Food Depot is located on their web page: Food Depot and about the SouthEast Neighborhood Association - SENA - can be found at SENA.

This Wednesday October 26 7pm, City Council will have a public hearing and vote whether to let companies put wi-fi and other antennas wherever they want on public rights of way. That means they can put one right in front of your house, and after Wednesday October 26 you won't be able to stop them!

The city will get 2% of whatever money the companies can make. This is happening in many other cities. In Davis, CA, residents were outraged by the antennas going in, the City Manager revoked the building permits, and the city got sued. In Portland OR, the wi-fi provider went broke and the city had to pay to remove all the antennas. So far most public wi-fi services have failed (see The Economist link below).

Some photos of what the antennas may look like are attached. They are much more powerful than a regular wi-fi modem. As a biophysicist (Ph.D. from U.C. Berkeley) I'm very concerned about what these will due to our health (including affecting our sleep). But they are also bad for aesthetics, property values, security from hackers, and the whole plan reduces our rights to due process by completely sidestepping zoning regulations.

I'm hoping to provide information to shoppers at the farmer's market tomorrow if anyone wants to help, but please contact our councillors, show up to the hearing, and do whatever else you can think of to stop this! -Bill
