We have a busy and powerful week ahead!   The next few days are full of opportunities for us to take action, show up for our communities, continue building power together, and keep fighting for the future we know is possible – from opposing Blackstone's buyout of PNM TOMORROW, to urging Representatives to pass SB 235 (The Microgrid Oversight Act) before the Legislative Session comes to a close this week, to participating in Environmental Justice Day with the No False Solution

Over the last week, we've seen the power of our community in action: from the defeat of fracking waste reuse (again!) with the killing of HB 207 at the Legislature to the 400+ New Mexicans who showed up at the Public Regulation Commission's meeting on Thursday to say NO to Blackstone's buyout of our largest electric utility.   And we're carrying that momentum into this week as we fight to pass S.B. 235 (The Microgrid Oversight Act) and Clear Horizons with amendments at the Le

Industry polluters and private equity billionaires are working overtime to control our future, deepen our dependence on extraction, and lock us into an energy system that prioritizes profits over people – but across New Mexico, young people, community members, and organizers are fighting back.   We need YOU to join us in the fight by taking action to stop the world's largest private equity firm from buying out PNM during the Public Regulation Commission's Public Comment Heari

It's shaping up to be a busy week at YUCCA, and the stakes couldn't be higher.   From the Senate Conservation Committee's hearing on the Clear Horizons Act (SB 18) tomorrow, to a major update in our fight to stop the use of toxic fracking waste off the oilfield, to the Public Regulation Commission's Public Comment Hearing on Blackstone's proposed buyout of PNM, this week is a critical moment in the fight for climate justice and energy democracy – and we need you to take actio

It's been a busy first month of the new year at YUCCA – from bringing over 1,500 young people and community members into the streets on the Opening Day of the Legislative Session, to skilling up 150 organizers in Santa Fe during our We Got Us Bootcamp, and making our voices heard in the spaces where decisions about our lives are being made.   And we're already building what comes next. This email is packed with ways to take action in the days and weeks ahead – from taking act

As the 2026 Legislative Session begins, communities across New Mexico are facing the impacts of unchecked industry pollution and extraction – poisoned water, contaminated air, and climate-induced natural disasters – as corporations continue to rake in profits.   Over the past few months, YUCCA has joined fellow members of the NM LAWS (New Mexico Land, Air, Water, and the Sacred) Coalition to travel across the state for screenings of The Land of Sacrifice: The Burden of New Me

Last week, we brought 150 organizers, community members, and young people together in Santa Fe during our We Got Us Bootcamp before taking to the streets on the Opening Day of the 2026 Legislative Session for our We Got Us Mass Mobilization with 1,500+ young people, community members, and 26 partner organizations.   For four days, we deepened our relationships and solidarity, sharpened our skills, and built capacity for our collective movement during trainings in direct actio

The first weeks of the new year have made one thing clear: inaction is no longer an option.   From the kidnapping of the President and First Lady of Venezuela, to the murder of Renee Nicole Good and Kevin Porter at the hands of ICE, to the decision to withdraw the United States from significant international climate commitments including the UNFCC and the IPCC, we're witnessing escalating attacks on our communities, the rise of fascism in plain sight, and the unraveling of sy

We're less than TWO WEEKS away from the kickoff of We Got Us, a multi-day training bootcamp that will culminate in a mass mobilization at the State Capitol on the Opening Day of the 2026 Legislative Session – and we need your help to make this an impactful weekend of training, solidarity, and collective action. Everyone can play a role - from bringing a potluck dish to marching in the streets.   From January 16th-20th, we'll host a series of skill-building trainings in Santa
