Join us TODAY to tell the Health Care Authority that New Mexicans need this quality, affordable health care option. Click here for the link to the meeting: https://t.co/bwgSGCkJ8Z

Walz not only sobered up and turned his life around but then became Governor and signed the Minnesota Clean Slate Act to enable 500,000+ people to seal their past arrest records, giving them a second chance too.
Since Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is officially being reported as a favorite to become the VP pick for Kamala Harris. Here he is pictured from his DUI arrest where he was going 96 in a 55. He then lied to police about being deaf in an attempt to avoid his arrest.

We can’t put the cart before the horse or criminalize people for being unhoused. We’ll continue rebuilding our systems & stay true to our NM values of compassion for ALL our neighbors. Public safety work must go on, even when the tv cameras stop - we're back at it in CCJ on 8/12.
STATEMENT: The NMCCB calls on all anchor organizations in the community with a public-private partnership to address the root causes of public safety, which lie mainly in mental health issues and alcohol and drug addictions.

My latest: New Mexico's governor and the mayor of its largest city say they're considering an executive order similar to the one in California ordering state agencies to clear tent encampments on state property
In the wake of a court ruling giving local governments more leeway to force unhoused people off of public property, at least two jurisdictions in New Mexico have cleared out encampments.

I am incredibly proud of my colleagues who stood together yesterday to expand access to behavioral healthcare and deliver wildfire relief, while having the courage to refuse to pass flawed bills, even in the face of political threats. https://t.co/awMifx9QKe
