The Somos Gallup Hour for air April 27, 2018 on KGLP 91.7 FM

The Somos Radio Hour, airing Friday, April 27, 2018 at 12:06pm Mountain Daylight Time, hopes to raise awareness and change perspectives by informing listeners about issues affecting our community, and perhaps build beneficial relationships among organizations and the public by increasing understanding as we decrease the communication gap.

As the program's host, Alejandro Murillo's goal is to provide a platform where local community members may share their stories, thoughts, and ideas which might often be overlooked, helping us all to navigate through the difficulties of a progressively diverse and connected world.

In the April 27th segment, Alejandro speaks with cohorts from Somos Gallup about ongoing activites and goals.

On Monday, April 2, 2018, U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) was in Gallup, New Mexico, to launch his "Degrees Not Debt" initiative and tour the site for the new Gallup Veterans Cemetery.
 
Heinrich met with students and faculty at Gallup Middle College High School, launching Senator Heinrich’s Degrees Not Debt initiative to ensure higher education is accessible and affordable to all New Mexicans. Senator Heinrich recently helped secure an increase to the Pell Grant award and the ability for students to utilize them year round.

Senator Heinrich also joined Gallup Mayor Jackie McKinney and the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services to tour the construction site for the new Gallup Veterans Cemetery. Currently, the nearest national cemetery to Gallup is located in Santa Fe National Cemetery in Santa Fe, approximately 199 miles away. The new cemetery will provide more convenient access and service to over 19,000 veterans and their families. Senator Heinrich supported the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs grant of $6.7 million to provide funding for the new cemetery.
