There’s been a recent wave of media coverage about an increase in homicides in cities across the U.S., including New Mexico’s largest city, Albuquerque. We recognize that public safety is on everyone’s minds and that it is essential for people to feel safe in their communities.
Unfortunately, many of the policies politicians have pushed in the past have decimated New Mexican families. An overly punitive approach to crime has ensnared our communities in vicious cycles of poverty, mental illness, substance abuse, homelessness, and incarceration. It is time we demand real solutions – solutions that support and empower families with the tools they need to thrive.
We developed this Public Safety Advocacy toolkit so New Mexicans can fight back against policies that fail to make our communities safer, fuel mass incarceration, and exaggerate racial discrimiantion in the criminal legal system. Browse the toolkit below and share the link with others or download, save, and share for when you’re offline.

This advocacy guide provides information about the ACLU of New Mexico's legislative agenda and how you can help protect and expand civil liberties for all New Mexicans. Because the legislative session moves quickly, we will keep in regular touch by sending occasional updates about the status of our priority legislation via email and text. Be sure to keep your eyes open for our action alerts so you can help us advance the cause of liberty throughout the 2020 legislative session.

The 2019 New Mexico legislative session will end at noon on Saturday, March 16. This guide outlines the high priority bills that remain in play and how you – as trained ACLU-NM legislative advocates – can continue to help us advance the good ones and stop the bad ones during this final crucial period of the session. The last 10 days of the session will determine whether this session is a success.
We’ve already passed our major ACLU-NM bill, the New Mexico Electronic Communications Privacy Act, SB199, which protects our private digital information from being accessed by law enforcement without a warrant. But we are striving to pass several more. We need your help contacting legislators via email, phone and personal visit.
We will continue to take small groups of activist leaders up to the Roundhouse to help us advocate for our key issues. If you are interested in doing this, please contact Mary Ann Maestas, Reproductive Rights Field Organizer, [email protected], Osmani Alcaraz-Ochoa, Criminal Justice Field Organizer, [email protected], or Stephanie Corte, Immigrant Rights Campaign Strategist, [email protected].
