It’s that time again! Are you ready to show out for Queer and Trans New Mexicans?
While Pride is always a celebration, we all know it looks and feels different in 2025. The wave of legislative attacks, surveillance threats, and coordinated disinformation campaigns against LGBTQ communities has created a climate of fear that’s hard to ignore. But that fear is also fueling something powerful: a renewed commitment to one another and our liberation. It’s so important that we take this opportunity to feel the joy and strength within our community, and flexing some of our organizing muscle.
You’ll find us at celebrations across the state. We’re looking for volunteers who want to make a difference this year by helping us get the word out about who EQNM is and the work we do.

Some of our longtime supporters may be wondering why EQNM won’t be walking in the Albuquerque parade this year, as it’s something we value enormously (and is also a lot of fun!). As an organization, we made a decision to emphasize our organizing capacity at more Pride events. There’s so much work to do now in order to protect and uplift our community, we felt this was the best use of our people and resources. That will look like tabling, one-on-one conversations with new volunteers, providing education around our newly-launched NM CHISPA initiative on data privacy, and sharing accurate information about state budgets and policies. We’re sad to miss the parade, but we’re celebrating you by organizing for you.
To make all this work possible, we need at least 25 volunteers to join us in creating safe, connected Pride spaces. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, your presence matters. Sign up at HERE.
Come celebrate with us. Come organize with us.
