The New Mexico Coalition Against Domestic Violence is a nonprofit comprised of over 30 domestic violence programs, various shareholders, and its supporters across the state.
The goal of this podcast is to highlight our programs and the amazing work that they’re doing around the state, provide discussion around the topics of domestic violence, and create an environment of education and empowerment for anyone that may be experiencing domestic violence.
48. Ep. 48 - Advocate of the Month: Marinda Spencer
This week we are highlighting our July Advocate of the Month — Marinda Spencer!
We started this initiative within our coalition to give our programs the opportunity to showcase and celebrate the amazing advocates that they have on staff. Advocacy is a difficult job and they are such a fundamental part of supporting survivors, so we wanted to make sure that our advocates across New Mexico know that we see them and value their hard work and dedication to the cause.
