We've collected a treasure trove of plans, policies and positions for the 60-day legislative session that's kicking off. In eight Zoom sessions--two one-hour sessions from January 14-17--we hosted allied organizations, legislators and experts to come and tell us about their upcoming legislation. We learned about the bills our speakers are planning that will address common problems in New Mexico like healthcare, the environment, economy and criminal justice reform, just to name a few.
We are now culling through the information we gathered, and choosing our priorities--both what we support and what we oppose. You can benefit from the Zoomfest by viewing the session recordings, reading session summaries and accessing any related materials provided by the speaker. Simply click the links below.
