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.
