Conservation Voters New Mexico (c4)
2025 Programs
The recent publication of CVNM's Climate Action Now NM Report reflects our work to build intersectional relationships with organizations that represent the diverse communities impacted by climate change across New Mexico, including those in healthcare, LGBTQ+, faith, low-income, homelessness, immigration, sustainable business, labor, Indigenous rights, women's rights, family well-being, equity, and economic issues. The priorities identified from these relationships guide our climate advocacy to ensure that frontline and vulnerable communities are centered in New Mexico's renewable energy transition. Passing bold climate policy now and creating a climate roadmap for the incoming administration is our priority in 2025.
Mission
As New Mexicans, our lives are inextricably linked to the air, land, and water in our Land of Enchantment. How we treat these resources directly impacts our health and livelihood. Our vision is for New Mexicans to thrive in just, resilient communities where our conservation and cultural values guide our decision-makers and public policies. We are a statewide, nonpartisan nonprofit committed to connecting the people of New Mexico to their political power to protect our air, land, water, wildlife and communities. We do this by mobilizing voters, winning elections, holding elected officials accountable and advancing responsible public policies.
