LOCAL AND STATEWIDE GROUPS
As we all work together towards creating positive change in our state, local community involvement is very important. Often, we are able to facilitate change locally, but it is more difficult to achieve improvement at the statewide level. When more local communities advocate for change, that increases the pressure on the state to follow suit.
​
We encourage you to get involved in grassroots efforts within your local communities. Below is a list of NM freedom-related groups you may want to work with including statewide groups and local groups in Alamogordo, Albuquerque, Artesia, East Mountains (near Albq), Four Corners, Gallup, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, Roswell, Santa Fe, and Taos.
