Moms partnered with Senator Martin Heinrich (NM) and Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) to host a back-to-school celebration of electric school buses. Thanks to funding through EPA’s Clean School Bus Program, APS has been awarded 20 new electric buses that will replace aging diesel buses and give kids cleaner air to breathe on their way to school.
Moms’ New Mexico organizer Giovanna Rossi (pictured) is quoted at the press conference in the Albuquerque Journal, City Desk ABQ, and New Mexico Political Report. The event was also covered by the Grant County Beat.
