Conservation Voters New Mexico

New Mexico Community & Health Information Safety & Privacy Act New Mexicans deserve transparency, security, and control over their private information. HB 587 puts power back in your hands.

CVNM is please to announce endorsements in the Santa Fe municipal races for 2025! Because there were multiple strong climate candidates, we issued a dual endorsement for Santa Fe Mayor. Congratulations to Oscar Rodriguez and Justin Greene!

Last night, CVNM Action Fund joined allies in Santa Fe to support @debhaalandnm.bsky.social in her run for Governor. We were grateful to be joined by so many community leaders, including Ambassador Tom Udall. #NMPol #NMleg #GreenGov2026

Today, we honored @mcqueenfornm.bsky.social
for his dedication to the environment and wildlife through the passage of SB 5 (Dept. of Game and Fish Reform) and many other accomplishments. Thank you Chairman for your advocacy on behalf of wildlife and the environment! #NMleg #NMpol

Roadless areas matter for wilderness preservation We should all be deeply concerned about the most recent challenge to the integrity of America’s national forests — the proposed repeal of the 2001 U.S. Forest Service Roadless Area

Roadless areas provide a de facto buffer to protect wilderness from the impacts of industrial forest management and other resource extraction occurring on nearby National Forest System lands. #NMpol #NMleg

Increasing energy demand and Republicans’ Big, Bad Bill is creating a perfect storm that will hit New Mexicans in their electric bills.

They deserve to know it’s coming–and why.

Today I held a roundtable on the real impacts of the Republican bill and how we can push back.

This is why we need a statewide worker safety heat standard! #NMpol #NMleg

It’s been a tough few months in DC, but there is one huge win we can all celebrate: we kept public lands in public hands.

We came together–across the aisle and across the conservation world–to protect our public lands. I’m grateful to everyone who joined the fight with us.

E.P.A. Is Said to Draft a Plan to End Its Ability to Fight Climate Change

The Trump EPA is drafting a plan that would end the federal government's ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

This would be an absolutely catastrophic decision that would put millions of lives in jeopardy all while Big Oil gets even richer.

Understanding the connection between environmental and reproductive justice is essential to building a healthier, more equitable future for all New Mexicans.

Most Americans really have no clue how far the US is being left behind.

"Too many areas of the country have become news deserts, without journalists to cover school board meetings, attend city council sessions or serve as public watchdogs." Public radio is essential for a functional democracy. #NMpol #NMLeg www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/edit...

We're thrilled to celebrate so many conservation, climate, and democracy champions! Thank you legislators for your advocacy and hard work! #NMpol #NMleg

The Rio Grande runs dry in Albuquerque. Here's why. In Albuquerque, much of the Rio Grande was a cracked riverbed Monday, a result of a record dry winter and legal restrictions on storing Rio Grande water.

NM's #WaterCan'tWait "Because of ...climate change, New Mexico is expected to become more arid with more variation in weather over the coming decades... Rio Grande flows north of the Elephant Butte Reservoir are predicted to decrease 25% by 2072, according to the report." #NMpol #NMleg

The Trump Admin is cutting substantial funding for lands management, and recently shared an intent to transfer lands back to the states. We agree with @heinrich.senate.gov: "Not one acre and not on our watch" #NMpol #NMleg #keeppubliclandsinpublichands
