Albuquerque newspaper features sister organization, Southwest Organizing Project (SWOP)... congrats.
... Karlos Schmieder, spokesman for the Southwest Organizing Project in Albuquerque, which is also participating in Sunday's rally, said New Mexico's immigrant community is not as well organized as those in larger urban centers.
"Chicago and L.A. were well organized through the radio and churches, and that really hasn't happened here yet," Schmieder said.
He also said there may not be as much vocal opposition in New Mexico because of "immigrant-friendly" laws such as one that allows immigrants to obtain driver's licenses.
