ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE

We seek that all people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or geographic location, have a right to equal protection from environmental risks, as well as the benefits of a clean and healthy environment.

We focus on progressive policies that promote clean air, water, renewable energy and sustainable living conditions for all New Mexicans, while holding oil and gas companies accountable for polluting our state.

We strive to uplift the voices of the marginalized communities affected by environmental burdens and provide them with equitable access to resources and environmental education.
