New Mexico Climate Action

Calendar (all times are Mountain) 

 

  • TUESDAY, May 26, 6 – 8 pm:
    350NM Speaker Series
    Two States One Climate Fight; A Conversation between Brooklyn and Burque
    What can we learn from talking with climate activists in New York state? What can they learn from us in New Mexico? 2019 may have been a high point for state energy transition legislation in NY and NM. How can we stop the push back and retreats from those high points? How do we help the renewable energy industry find its footing in this new political environment? There are so many pressing issues today like Gaza and the Iran war, immigrant rights and ICE, data centers, income and racial inequality, homelessness, affordable housing and more. Are climate activists too siloed? Do we need to build better climate bridges to other issues? Please join the conversation to move us toward more effective climate action. Sign up for the online event at the link above.
    Normally the fourth Monday of the month.  Note, in May, this talk will be on TUESDAY rather than Monday.
