More and more frequently, we're seeing billion-dollar entities and out-of-state corporations put profit before people. From civil rights to healthcare legislation, exploitation is coming before the change our communities need to see. The systems we live inside, the ones meant to protect us, are being shaped by those who will never feel their consequences.
New Mexicans deserve better.
LGBTQ New Mexicans deserve better.
And Equality New Mexico has never been more clear about what it will take to get there. There's only one way to ensure our government and the systems we exist in allow us to thrive, not just survive. They must be built by us, for us.
Community-led. Policy-driven. "Built by Us" isn't a tagline, it's a commitment to ensuring New Mexicans are put first, and that lived experience influences policy, not out-of-state corporate interests.
But we can't do this work alone, and we can't depend on elected officials alone. Building lasting power requires resources, consistency, and a community ready to invest in the durable power.
Introducing the Builder Circle
We're launching the Builder Circle, an opportunity for our community to directly fuel the fight for systems that work for every New Mexican.
Monthly support turns into stability.
Stability turns into lasting LGBTQ power in New Mexico.
As a nonprofit, we rely largely on community support to make our work possible. A monthly recurring donation means we can plan ahead, move fast when it matters, and never stop advocating alongside and for LGBTQ New Mexicans harmed by oppressive systems.
