Civil Rights/Criminal Justice Reform/Immigration

Civil rights are rights guaranteed by constitutions (federal and state) and laws authorized by those constitutions. Women, people of color, those who identify with ethnic, cultural and religious groups, LGBTQ, immigrants, and people with disabilities are represented by advocacy organizations that work to ensure equal treatment under law and protect civil rights. Currently, extremist politics and violence nationwide threaten our safety, civil rights, and democracy itself. Here in New Mexico we see law enforcement as having the potential to prevent and mitigate violence. We are working to transform law enforcement to protect our rights and everyone's safety. Given the election results we are working to mitigate the anti-democratic efforts of the new administration.
