Our panel in February featured Tricia Snyder from New Mexico Wilderness Alliance, Sammi Kao from Conservation Voters New Mexico and Gabby O’Keefe from Lavendr. Tricia and Sammi reported on the water funding and policy actions of the 2024 Legislature. Gabby told us why it’s so important to have creative translation of complex matters of water and climate science, water facts, and water policies issues for the general public in order to gain more awareness and respectful demand for the transformative change New Mexico’s water future requires.
NOTE: Correction on the video: Tricia’s fifth slide in the video indicates $5M for the River Stewardship Program. That amount was requested; the actual legislative allocation was $3.25M.
