Santa Fe is now the first city to tie the minimum wage to the cost of rent.
The Santa Fe City Council voted to raise its minimum wage from $15/hr to $17.50 by 2027 — but they also added another provision.
Future increases will factor in inflation, and the price of housing.

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history.
Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.

Scoop: The Trump administration has quietly erased trans people, people of color and to some extent, the idea that some groups have more or different difficulties than others from the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers.
Why? Unclear! They wouldn’t tell me.

Trans people and people of color have been quietly erased from national caregiving plan
The decision ignores the stark reality that underserved communities experience greater negative impacts from caregiving, from financial hardships to worse health outcomes, advocates say.
