We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations. The same forces that used violence against John Lewis are in full effect with billionaires’ backers and authoritarian ambition.

The people and places we love and care about are worth protecting. Big polluters will try to enrich themselves by destroying our only home, but we refuse to let them take what's most precious to us.
Let Earth Day be a reminder that we have a future to win.
Today, on Earth Day, we're reminded of the beauty and fragility of our planet. As we celebrate, let's not forget that taking care of the Earth is a daily responsibility. Every action counts, from reducing plastic use to conserving water, and it's up to each of us to make a positive impact. #EarthDay
The "SAVE Act" will make it significantly harder for millions of eligible voters to register. This would especially burden military voters, tribal voters, rural voters, survivors of natural disasters, communities of color, and married women.
Tell Congress to vote NO on "SAVE Act"
Who would have a hard time voting under the SAVE Act? The short answer is everyone.
The SAVE Act isn't about saving anything — it's about silencing voters. It would create barriers that block millions from registering to vote, especially impacting women, communities of color, and working families.

“Our nation faces huge questions in the coming elections about the future of our economy, our healthcare system, our children’s education, the environment, and more. For our democracy to thrive, we must allow voters to have their say – not restrict who has a voice based on logistical hurdles.” President of State Voices, Alexis Anderson-Reed writes in the The Guardian:
The “SAVE Act” is the latest unconstitutional attempt to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by making it significantly harder to make their voices heard.

👏 Huge THANK YOU to all the legislators, advocates, community leaders & supporters who made Community Benefit Fund SB48 & Innovation in Govt Fund SB83 possible. Your dedication is paving the way for a cleaner stronger & more resilient NM! Now it's up to Gov. Lujan Grisham-ask her to sign the bills!
Leonel's story emphasizes why New Mexico must PASS HB 9, the Immigrant Safety Act. New Mexico cannot continue to be complicit in the business of immigration detention while so many people, like Leonel, suffer from human rights abuses behind their walls.

"Lawmakers sent the @govmlg.bsky.social a bill establishing a new $210 million community benefit fund solely dedicated to projects focused on reducing pollution, modernizing energy grids, clean transpo expansion and other climate-change related initiatives." Thanks KOB! www.kob.com/new-mexico/r...
Help pass The Immigrant Safety Act (HB9)! Contact members of the house floor and urge them to vote YES on HB9! #nmleg
"By investing in clean energy infrastructure & workforce training, we can transition workers into stable, long-term careers in industries that will only continue to grow — such as renewable energy, energy storage & sustainable infrastructure." continues Oriana Sandoval @civicpolicy.bsky.social
📣📣📣 "New Mexicans are ready for good-paying, sustainable jobs. Our leaders must act now to deliver on that promise." ~ Oriana Sandoval @civicpolicy.bsky.social on SB4 the Clear Horizons Act & SB48 the Community Benefit Fund in the @thenewmexican.bsky.social www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_v...
The Clear Horizons Act and Community Benefit Fund provide a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a prosperous future for our state — by fueling workforce development and ensuring that good-paying jobs in the clean energy sector are accessible to all New Mexicans.

Last year, the New Mexico Civic Engagement Table and partners pushed back against the tide of anti-trans legislation as advocates in NM won laws that protect gender-affirming care.
Even in the darkest times, our collective power can overcome hate and create a brighter future for all.
At a rally in the New Mexico Legislature on Tuesday, a policy advocate and former Albuquerque city councilor shared her experience using paid medical leave to receive cancer treatment
The presidential administration ordered a federal funding freeze today that is disastrous for everyday people.
As a nationwide network of advocates fighting for everyone's votes to be counted, voices heard, and needs met, we refuse to stand idly by.
From our Executive Director Bill Shiebler:
We did it! #SB4 #ClearHorizonsNM has passed the Senate Conservation Committee 5-4!! 🥳 🙌 Next stop ➡️ Senate Finance Committee 😎
No one should have to choose between a paycheck and their health or the health of their families. Paid Family & Medical Leave would provide adequate time of for hardworking New Mexicans during times of need. We are thrilled that PFML (HB 11) passed it's first committee today! #NMleg
Yesterday, we joined with partners from around the state to call on lawmakers to focus on real solutions to public safety.
It's time to ditch the failed strategies of the past and instead, invest in proven solutions that have made communities around the country more safe.
The Clear Horizons Act (SB4) has its first hearing in New Mexico's Senate Conservation Committee tomorrow at 9AM. It's time to #ActOnClimate! clearhorizonsnm.org/clear-horizo...
#ClearHorizonsNM #NMLeg #NMPol
Lawmakers are on notice: New Mexicans want real solutions to public safety, not failed solutions that have done nothing to make our communities safer.
This unprecedented and likely unconstitutional bill would result in a significant spike in racial profiling of longtime residents.
Thousands of people could be put in detention without due process, all while lining the pockets of private prisons.
In October, our policy director, Lan Sena, shared her story about why Paid Family and Medical Leave is so critical and must urgently be passed by the New Mexico Legislature. Read her full op ed here: www.abqjournal.com/opinion/opin... #PFML
