👏 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!
"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...
🚨 ACTION NEEDED: New Mexico HB91 is heading to the Senate Floor! This bill will lower energy costs for low-income families, but we need YOUR voice to get it passed! #FairRatesForNM #nmpol #nmleg

TY @thenewmexican.bsky.social "In a state where drought, fire, floods, heat & other extreme weather conditions are becoming ever-common, we understand better than most that time is running out to slow climate change." NM needs SB4 the Clear Horizons Act! www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/edit...
This morning, the Senate Finance Committee will hear Senate Bill 83, the Innovation in Government Fund to strengthen state capacity by equipping agencies w the resources & expertise needed to enforce clean energy initiatives, a key element of laying the groundwork for a cleaner, more resilient NM.
SB4 - Clear Horizons and Greenhouse Gas Emissions is up in Senate Finance NOW. This is a critical moment in the process - the O&G industry has sunk $$$ into opposing this and other bills #nmleg #nmpol
Picture of roughly ~25 folks standing before a New Mexico Senate Committee in support of SB 4, the Clear Horizons Act, a climate action bill.
We're before the #NMleg Sen. Finance Cmt. on SB4, the Clear Horizons Act, a well-designed climate bill. All these folks standing are taking time from their day to support climate action. May they prevail over the oil & gas interests in opposition to this bill.
Be fierce, people ✊🏼.
Waiting to hear SB4 in the Senate finance Committee. This bill will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, invest in green jobs, and prioritize BIPOC communities most impacted by climate change. It’s time for real action—New Mexico deserves a just and sustainable future! #ClearHorizonsAct
Senator Ezell describes the smell of oil and gas pollution as the smell of money.... The cost of all that contamination? Close to incalculable. Ferocious fires followed by floods, extreme heat and drought. #ActonClimate Vote yes on SB4. Chevron in Exxon are busy lobbying against our future.
Huge kudos to @senatorwirth.bsky.social for his expert leadership!
SB 21/22 would restore New Mexico water quality protections to the same level that existed for decades, starting in 1972 w/passage of the Clean Water Act, b/f SCOTUS eroded them, most recently in 2023 Sackett v. EPA. #NMleg #NMpol
