Now, more than ever, citizen engagement is important in our government. With another New Mexico legislative session coming in January, it’s time to get activated.
January’s 30-day budget-focused session won’t feature as much environmental legislation as longer sessions do, but there will still be good legislation you can support and bad legislation you can prevent.
Learn how the legislature works, what elected officials are thinking, the importance of their staff, and how to communicate your message effectively.
All events are free and open to the public, but we request that you register for trainings.
