In October 2015, Albuquerque Teachers Federation and AFT New Mexico headed to the capitol to unveil thousands of post cards signed by Albquerque Public School teachers in protest of the Governor's $100 debit card proposal.
"Every day, educators address the larger impacts of poverty and mental and physical health needs that the Martinez administration chooses to systematically ignore. $100 will not buy our silence on these issues." -Albuquerque Teachers Federation
