For more than 20 years, Laura Paskus has written and produced stories about New Mexico’s rivers, including the Middle Rio Grande. Join us for a presentation and conversation about what she’s learned along the way — not just about climate change and water challenges, but about love, political courage, and connection.

These profit-driven actors prioritize returns over infrastructure, transparency, and environmental protection, putting ratepayers and ecosystems at risk.
