Connecting New Mexicans with the policy process.

 

Current Priority

Restoring & Protecting Our Lands

Current Priority

Creating a Cleaner Energy Future

Relying on oil, coal and natural gas for the bulk of our energy needs is a losing proposition. Fortunately, New Mexico boasts a wealth of clean, renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind, biofuels, geothermal sources and more.

Current Priority

Putting Dollars Back In the Hands of New Mexicans

Moving forward, state leadership can center New Mexicans in the decision-making process by creating a culture of transparency, and addressing obstacles to full public participation in the policy process, such as language barriers, technology and access, and more.

Current Priority

Keep Rivers Wild and the Water Flowing

New Mexico’s natural beauty, cultural diversity, and vast public lands consistently draw new residents to the state each year, increasing demand for already scarce water resources through increased development.
