Community Announcement
Important information for folks who have insurance plans through the NM healthcare insurance exchange, BeWellNM.
What is happening?
Several organizations and entities have received information that as of January 2026, Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico (BCBS) and United Healthcare plans on the state based New Mexico exchange may no longer cover gender affirming care for plan members of any age.
What are your options?
The open enrollment period for insurance selection on the NM exchange BeWellNM is available until January 15th. Until the end of open enrollment you may review your benefits and change your plan if it no longer works for your healthcare needs.
Choosing an insurance plan is a complex decision which requires the consideration of many things, including the availability of network providers in your area and costs.
There are only two days left of this period, so now is an important time to review your benefits and see if your plan works for your healthcare needs in 2026!
What to do:
Figure out if this decision impacts your plan.
Call current and prospective providers to see what plans they take.
Review your insurance plan documents to see things like co-pays, coinsurance, pharmacy and lab coverage.
Have questions about your plan or are not sure? You can find contact information for insurance brokers at:
Make decisions before the open enrollment period closes. If you decide to make a plan change, you must do it by Jan 15th, 2025.
After this date, you can enroll in or change plans only if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.
The future:
Advocates are working to try to ensure this care is covered in future plan years, including 2027. The future is uncertain, but folks are working.
Things to know:
If you are unsure if this will impact you, try to get more information.
This information was raised and brought by concerned community members. It should not be interpreted as legal advice or direct advice on determining what plan is right for you.
This may or may not impact employer based plans that are governed by other healthcare plans.
Things are continuously changing and we are gaining access to new information all the time. These changes are deeply impacting trans and gender expansive people and our communities overall. We can get through these uncertain times by caring for each other in little and big ways.
As Melissa Alexander departs from EQNM’s Board of Directors, we are taking a moment to reflect on her time with us, her impactful work, and the bittersweetness of saying goodbye to one of the most influential leaders in our organization’s history.
Stepping In When It Mattered Most
Melissa joined the board in late 2019, after spending years building a statewide trans advocacy organization in Ohio and a very successful career in law. When it came to joining the board, she wasn’t just willing, she was excited, enthusiastic, hopeful, and more than ready to get to work.
At the time, EQNM was navigating a critical period of transition. The organization was separating from the former Executive Director, the only staff position at the time, and facing serious questions about how, or even if, EQNM would continue. Melissa stepped into that uncertainty with vision, steadiness, and an unwavering belief in what EQNM could become.
Rebuilding and Reimagining EQNM
Melissa played a central role in rebuilding the organization from the ground up. She was not only heavily involved in hiring our Chief Liberation Officer, Marshall Martinez, but had also made the selfless decision to volunteer an abundance of time in order to rebuild our organization. She spent countless hours making fundraising calls, sending mailers, proofreading emails, being a political thought partner, overseeing the endorsements committee, building a budget, hiring statewide staff, and strategizing for EQNM’s growth. In short, EQNM would not be where or what it is today without her.
A Trusted Partner to Staff and Community
Melissa wasn’t just an excellent board member and chair, she was a reliable and trustworthy partner to the organization. She never missed a phone call from a staff member needing support, and was always willing to lobby and get the word out on protections we were championing for LGBTQ New Mexicans. With zero hesitation, Melissa dived in headfirst on anything she could to help fuel Equality New Mexico, and without her, we likely wouldn’t have been able to accomplish what we have in recent years for Queer and Trans New Mexicans.
Giving Beyond the Boardroom
Beyond her direct work on EQNM’s Board of Directors, Melissa dedicated so much of her time to uplifting our organization. She’s donated her art as a seasoned ceramicist for our annual Resilience awards, sold tickets to our events, stood as an ambassador for EQNM, recruited donors, spoken on our behalf at Democratic Party events, and volunteered on campaigns.
“It is not and easy time for our queer and trans community these days with the constant attacks out of Washington and the road ahead is treacherous indeed. I have full faith in the efforts of the staff and Board members of EQNM in keeping up the good fight against this sea of hate and continuing the growth of EQNM!”
Wishing Melissa Well in Her Next Chapter
While losing Melissa from our Board of Directors is a very sad moment for us, that sadness is greatly outweighed by the excitement we have for her. Melissa will now be able to focus on one of her biggest passions, pottery and ceramic art, and fully enjoy her retirement. Melissa has not just been a Board Member, she’s been an instrumental part of this team. Our staff, organization, and movement would not be where it is today without Melissa’s unwavering support. We’re eternally grateful for Melissa’s time with Equality New Mexico, and we wish her nothing but joy and bliss as she steps into this new chapter.
2025 was a year of growth, reflection, and action. We couldn’t make any of this possible without your support, so let’s celebrate our biggest moments together! We are grateful for you, and we look forward to continuing to build our movement in 2026.
This year, we hit a huge goal by opening our office! A place where staff, board members, and community can work together! Shout out to TGRCNM for renting us an awesome space next to our closest partners!
We kept the momentum going and recruited two new board members and hired three new staff! Our team will continue to grow right alongside our movement!
During the 2025 Legislative Session, we defeated every single bad bill! Legislation with potential to harm LGBTQ New Mexicans never got far! Here in New Mexico, advocates and legislators alike stand together against the “new normal” of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, stopping harmful bills and pushing the status quo forward.
We mobilized massive civic engagement. We sent almost 50,000 texts, sent 131,000 emails, and made 6,500 calls, engaging our community and keeping you up to date!
We kicked off Pride Month by hosting the biggest Resilience event in our organization's history! In a time of fear and uncertainty, we gathered in solidarity and joy.
EQNM & TGRCNM collaboratively convened focus groups of Gender-affirming and Reproductive healthcare providers in order to get a better understanding of our state's healthcare landscape and how we can most effectively take action to protect New Mexicans.
Our endorsed candidates for municipal and school board elections had an 85% win rate! Meaning an overwhelming majority of our candidates will soon take office and work to protect and uplift LGBTQ New Mexicans!
We launched the NMCHISPA campaign, taking on Big Tech and hostile governments in order to protect New Mexicans personal information online so that it can't be used to harass, persecute, or prosecute them. Learn more at NMCHISPA.org!
We helped pass landmark legislation like Confirmatory Adoptions, which will help protect LGBTQ families, Semi-open Primaries, ensuring every New Mexican has a voice in every election, and the MVD Data Bill, protecting sensitive personal information held by state agencies.
We launched the only LGBTQ Legislative Leadership Development Program in the state, bringing young, Queer and Trans voices into policymaking spaces for a hands-on experience!
None of these achievements would’ve been possible without the unwavering support of our community. We are going into 2026 grateful, grounded, and ready to get to work for Queer and Trans New Mexicans.

Across the country, immigrant communities are facing increasing violence. Masked agents are kidnapping people, stoking violence within communities, and physically tearing apart families - leaving children crying while they're pried out of the arms of their loving parents. Entire communities are living in panicked hiding. These actions are not isolated events but part of a broader pattern of cruelty designed to strip dignity from those who are already marginalized.
“We know that justice for LGBTQ people cannot be separated from justice for immigrants, because so many in our communities hold both of those identities.”
The fight to protect immigrants is being led in New Mexico by groups like the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center, Contigo Immigrant Justice, ACLU-NM, and many others. These organizations have worked tirelessly to mitigate harm, pass legislation, and educate the public.
Between the new detention facility at Fort Bliss, and the guidance released to detention centers to stop counting demographics like gender-expansivity or non-heterosexuality, it’s more crucial than ever that we support our immigrant organizations, fight for the Immigrant Safety Act, and stand with Queer and Trans immigrants.
“We know that the people detained across New Mexico’s three detention centers can’t wait one more day for relief. Every day someone is detained is another day they are away from their family, their job, and their basic human dignity. New Mexico has the power to take action and end the suffering of those detained and protect others from enduring these unsafe conditions by passing the Immigrant Safety Act. The Immigrant Safety Act would prohibit New Mexico state and local governments from entering into agreements to detain people in federal civil immigration custody. This bill would close a loophole that allows ICE and for-profit detention contractors to use New Mexico counties as passthroughs to avoid normal scrutiny of the disastrous safety records of those contractors in running New Mexico’s immigration detention centers.” -Jessica Martinez, New Mexico Immigrant Law Center
Queer immigrants live a distinct experience. They often flee violence, discrimination, and economic instability in their countries of origin, only to face new dangers in the United States. For LGBTQ immigrants, detention is life-threatening, with reports of abuse and denial of medical care. For trans immigrants, the risks multiply. Discrimination at the border, compounded with the barriers of language and legal status, makes survival a daily act of courage. When the country enacts policies that target immigrants, Queer and Trans immigrants feel the blow twice over.
We know that immigrants are part of the fabric of our state. They are our neighbors, our coworkers, our classmates, and our loved ones. We know that queer immigrants build families here, create art here, labor here, and lead movements here. Our liberation is tied together.
When one community is attacked, the safety of all is threatened. To stand for queer liberation without standing for immigrant justice would be to deny the very principle of solidarity.
It is vital to remember that our state has a long history of resilience and collective care. Immigrants in New Mexico have organized for decades to expand access to education, healthcare, and protection from deportation. Many of these victories have been won through coalitions that bring together immigrants, LGBTQ people, workers, and faith communities. These alliances remind us that power grows when we refuse to be divided.
“In light of what we are witnessing across the country, we must ensure the safety of our community. We must stand in our power as a community and continue to uplift voices of immigrants who are enduring dangerous conditions, due process violations, racial profiling, and systems of harm. We as a state have the power to end the suffering of detainees and ensure the safety of our community and that is by taking a stance to refuse to be complicit in human rights abuses. Our movement continues to grow and we will keep advocating for the Immigrant Safety Act and working with our champions in the legislature until this bill is passed.”- Jessica Martinez, New Mexico Immigrant Law Center
There are resources here for those seeking support. Organizations such as:
New Mexico Immigrant Law Center provides legal assistance and advocacy for immigrant families.
Somos Un Pueblo Unido organizes immigrant workers and fights for policies that expand protections.
Contigo Immigrant Justice (formerly Santa Fe Dreamers Project) supports undocumented people, especially LGBTQ+ immigrants, with legal and social services.
The Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico offers direct support and advocacy for trans and nonbinary people, including immigrants.
Together, these groups create a network of care that ensures people are not left to face attacks alone.
We remain committed to building a state where all people can live with safety, dignity, and belonging. That commitment requires us to speak out against every attempt to criminalize immigrants and to fight alongside them for justice. It requires us to listen to queer immigrants in our community and follow their leadership. It requires us to recognize that immigrant justice is not a separate struggle from our own but part of the same fight for liberation.
We urge our community to take action. Support immigrant-led organizations in New Mexico. Show up at rallies and vigils. Educate yourself about the distinct struggles of queer and trans immigrants. Check in on your neighbors. Build relationships that cross boundaries of identity, status, and background.
By choosing solidarity, by insisting on intersectionality, and by lifting up the voices of queer immigrants, we can demonstrate the power of a community that refuses to be divided.

While EQNM has an evolving list of issues that we see as impacting LGBTQ people, this list is not comprehensive. We engage our communities around issues that impact LGBTQ New Mexicans, including:

I am excited to be back at Equality New Mexico after 100 days away on sabbatical. I know how rare and privileged it is to have a board, staff, and community who supported this opportunity for me to rest and reset.
“The time I took this summer is something for which I will forever be grateful.”
After devoting myself entirely to our movement since the early days of the pandemic, I opted to utilize EQNM’s burnout-busting policy of allowing staff with five years of work for the organization to take 90 days of leave. We instituted this policy to build a culture that honors rest, reflection, and sustainability.
The truth is, the people we fight for every day do not get this kind of break. Our communities are under attack, and most of us are working to survive and protect ourselves. I carry this awareness with me as I return.
Because I’m a Leo and I assume everyone is dying to know, here’s a quick recap of how I spent my time off.
I made it to New York City, where I finally saw Orville Peck in Cabaret. Watching the show in the current political and cultural context brought up many unanticipated feelings. I remembered the show’s basic storyline, but I forgot that the plot hinges on the rise of fascism and the tension between those who want to fight fascism and those who want to pretend they are living "outside" of politics.
“It was emotional and inspiring to remember that we can all find a way to be part of the movement even when we want to focus on our own joy as well.”
I also got to see Audra McDonald in Gypsy. Watching Audra perform “Rose’s Turn” was life-changing. After 18 years of hoping to hear her sing live, crossing that off my must-do list felt incredible. Eva Noblezada brought Sally Bowles to life with so much energy, vulnerability, and sexiness that I’ll be hard-pressed to believe anyone else can do it as well.
Outside the theater, I had the joy of showing parts of the city I knew to my partner and their sister, which made the trip even more special.
Beyond New York, I visited San Antonio, Madison, and Chicago. I caught up with an old friend from my Planned Parenthood days who continues to be a mentor and movement leader in my life. I also spent a few days in Palm Springs, my personal queer haven—although I admit the 113-degree heat was not a highlight of my summer!
Back at home, I did something that always seems impossible during work life: I cleaned and organized my house, binged some terrible television, and took naps.
“Did you know that people over 40 who take two 30-minute naps a week reduce their risk of heart attack? I plan to keep those naps going.”
More than the travels and the naps, this time was about reflection. I want to share what I’m bringing back with me. I return with clear eyes and a refilled cup. For me, that means patience, commitment, and excitement to get back to work.
During my time away, our team also managed a short leadership retreat where we rethought how EQNM is structured—our roles, our work, and our vision for the next two, three, and five years. I am eager to keep building on that clarity and focus.
I have to give a massive shout-out to Nathan Saavedra and Rudy Montoya, who held us down while I was away. What was supposed to be a slower summer turned out to be the opposite, and they led us through it with strength and determination.
Of course, while I was away, the world did not stop. I kept up with the news and watched the parade of horrors that unfolded and continued all summer. It’s a sobering reminder that our fight is not slowing down. If anything, we must prepare for a longer and harder road ahead.
What I learned during this time is that those of us in the fight of our lives must stay flexible. We need to try everything we’ve done in the past when our government has failed us, while also being willing to try new approaches. We have to lean into our intersectional commitments, not away from them. Times of crisis can make people panic or hoard power, but I believe crises can also create movement moments, moments when we expand power, share it, and grow together.
“I am coming back more committed than ever to distributing power, to building an LGBTQ movement in New Mexico that doesn’t leave anyone behind.”
That means:
Fighting just as hard for queer and trans people who are incarcerated or unhoused as for those who are married or able to donate.
Defending quality healthcare that respects patients instead of harming them.
Protecting progress, even as the federal government tries to dismantle HIV prevention and treatment systems.
Doubling down on inclusive education for New Mexico students that is culturally diverse, safe, and engaging.
Passing effective data privacy legislation to protect our most vulnerable communities from harassment and persecution.
Learning and teaching our community how to fiercely stand with our Trans siblings as they face rampant attacks.
I am back, fully in it, and ready to fight for us.
Thank you for the break, and in the words of my favorite TV president, Jed Bartlett: “What’s next?”
