Ruth grew up in Wisconsin loving music and the natural world. An Albuquerque resident since 1982, she is Director of Music and Green Justice team member at First Congregational UCC. Volunteering with NMIPL has given her opportunities to meet New Mexicans around the state in the cause of environmental justice. Working with the FCC Green Justice team has given her opportunities to educate the congregation about EJ issues and enlist them in communicating with local and national decision-makers.
