Interfaith Power & Light New Mexico & El Paso

Yesterday, the EPA rescinded the Endangerment Finding, eliminating requirements to protect communities from climate pollution. As people of faith, we reject this denial of science and our moral duty. Climate change is real and devastating, creation is crying out.

New Mexico Senate rejects bill to codify state’s emissions goals • Source New Mexico Seven New Mexico Democratic state senators on Wednesday sided with their Republican colleagues and voted down the Clear Horizons Act.

The Clear Horizons Act died yesterday. 23 votes said no to our children's future, to clean air, to climate action.

Thank you to everyone who spoke up. Your voices mattered.
Like rain wearing away rock, our work continues. Step by step, together.

We did it! The power of this Pilgrimage and all of your prayers has been DELIVERED...by hand, by foot, by heart and voice! With gusto, power, truth and soul to those we have elected to serve us in New Mexico. And we couldn't have done it without YOU!

Today is landing day. Today we will walk the last 5.5 miles of this 320 mile journey with you, and walk our prayers and our bodies right into the roundhouse, in the house of the PEOPLE, to let our voices be heard. JOIN US! learn more here: buff.ly/9qyJWgC

Our pilgrimage is not just about walking across land.
It is about walking toward a different way of being:
one that honors Earth,
one that protects human dignity,
one that tells the truth about responsibility and mutuality,
and one that refuses to weaponize lives and exacerbate suffering.

Day 15 of 26. We are on the other side of the most remote stretch of this pilgrimage. Our days walking toward the endless horizons of this vast landscape brought us some of the deepest quiet and prayers of this action.

We are well into this more remote stretch now and have crossed our 100 mile mark! I (Clara) walked solo for the last 10 miles of our hike on Tuesday and saw our first Juniper tree of the entire trek! It's been very peaceful out here under the new moon, horizon stretching in all directions.

🥾 On Feb 5, join @NewMexicoIPL to walk with the pilgrims on the final leg of their 328 mile pilgrimage from the Permian Basin to the State Capitol. We will arrive at the Roundhouse for Climate Action Day.

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant." Dr. MLK.

Our prayer as we walk is that we weave ourselves into the “garment of mutuality” with all our kin on this sacred earth.

Nothin like a little llama love to keep us going...

After walking 80 miles over the last six days, Desiree and I were grateful to rest our feet in Roswell yesterday. At a local coffee shop, we were reminded of the catastrophic flooding that occurred in Roswell in 2024, when half the annual rainfall of the area was delivered in a single storm.

Day 6: 80 miles down! 🥾 Tonight in Roswell, we broke bread with Episcopal leaders, shared our climate work, and found genuine partners for the road ahead. Tomorrow: rest day!

On our 4th day, we headed north past cows and cotton fields. We reflected on conversations we had at a community dinner in Artesia about oil & gas impacts—air pollution, "produced water" as hazardous waste, and legislators who won't listen.
