Conservation Voters New Mexico

$32,750 Raised | $8,625 Match Remaining
In New Mexico, we have the opportunity to pass a climate package that would codify net zero emissions by 2050, allocate $340 million for climate action, and $10 million for state agency capacity for compliance and enforcement. With a unified coalition, Clear Horizons NM, a partnership of 30 environmental and social justice organizations, Governor Lujan Grisham’s public support during her 2025 State of the State, and a pro-climate legislature, we are positioned to pass this slate of climate legislation through both chambers, but we need additional resources for grassroots advocacy, communications, and lobbying to get them over the finish line.

Semilla Action

$29,750 Raised | $10,125 Match Remaining
Semilla Action is leading the Clear Horizons Campaign where we have an opportunity to make tremendous progress for climate action by passing the Clear Horizons Act (Senate Bill 4), the Community Benefits Fund Act (Senate Bills 48 & 49), and the Innovations in Government Act (Senate Bill 83). These bills take an intersectional approach to not only codifying emissions reductions targets into state law through the Clear Horizons Act, but simultaneously pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into communities for just transition and clean energy projects that will directly reduce emissions in the Community Benefits Fund.

Community Change Voters

$114,000 Raised
All data points show that hard-to-find & reach Black, Latino, Native, AAPI, women, and young voters will need additional engagement to turn out for values-aligned candidates. One way to motivate turnout is through layered canvas mail: a personalized mail touch will increase voter turnout, influence voter behavior, and decrease canvas decay. Through a partnership with WorkMoney we will be adding QR codes and pathways to connect voters to government resources that put money directly in their pockets. We know these voters feel economic anxiety and believe no one cares about their pain. The care and IRA benefits framework is an antidote to apathy so that voters can make a direct connection between their power at the voting booth and governing process. This is our opportunity to shift the political calculus -- and ensure voters aren’t isolated from the safety net.
