We face a critical opportunity (and responsibility) during the 2019 New Mexico Legislative session to create a model for how the renewable energy transition builds upon and advances the long-standing tradition of environmental and economic justice struggles in our state.

 

Our work for a just transition to a new energy economy provides an opportunity to radically redesign our state’s economy and our “democracy”– from an energy colony based on extraction and undue corporate influence, to a regenerative economy, governed by and for the people – with justice and equity at the center.
 

• Join the indigenous-led movement for a just transition for New Mexico's energy economy - guided by regional leaders from Diné, Tiwa, Tewa, and Keres territories.
   

• Learn about policy proposals this 2019 Legislative session that will allow our communities to stand in solidarity with one another, determine our own energy futures, and rapidly transition to renewables -- all while localizing revenue and wealth from energy dollars.
   

• Join with environmentalists from across the state for the NM Climate Conference with keynote speakers  Laura Paskus, foremost reporter on water, climate change & the environment in New Mexico, and Destiny Watford, a Goldman Environmental Prize winner who in high school led the fight to stop a trash-burning incinerator in her community.
