Join us for the acclaimed film, First We Bombed New Mexico, the hidden history of Trinity—the world’s first nuclear detonation—carried out in New Mexico just one month prior to the bombing of Hiroshima. The panel features: Lois Lipman, Director of First We Bombed New Mexico); Tina Cordova, Co-founder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, whose activism is featured in the film; and Nathana Bird, Interim Executive Director of Tewa Women United. We hope you will join us and bring a friend as we are trying to fill the theater and build momentum for the film. Also feel free to share with your networks, on social media posts and EJ connections.

There will also be an additional conversation on Thursday May 8th at Northern:
New Mexico’s Nuclear Weapons Boom Community Reading & Conversation
Thursday, May 8 • 12 – 1:30pm
The Small Auditorium, CFA
Join us for an open conversation about recent developments in nuclear activity across New Mexico, inspired by the New Yorker article by Abe Streep, “New Mexico’s Nuclear Weapons Boom.” This powerful piece highlights the growing role of the nuclear industry in our region — and features stories about Northern New Mexico College students and academic programs. We’ll be joined by special guest Alicia Inez Guzmán of Searchlight New Mexico, an investigative journalist who covers nuclear issues and the industry’s local impact. Come learn, share, and be part of the dialogue about our future.
