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.

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.

That's why on January 20th, thousands of New Mexicans will take to the streets in Santa Fe for the We Got Us Mass Mobilization - on the Opening Day of the Legislative Session. We're calling on you – young people, community members, organizers, and movement allies across New Mexico – to join YUCCA and 18+ partner or
