Table with us for Environment Day on February 9th!


Each year there is a special Environment Day at the state legislature in Santa Fe where environmental groups from around the state are invited to table. This is a wonderful opportunity both to connect with others and to share about our work at New Mexico & El Paso Region Interfaith Power and Light. If you are interested in helping plan for our table or simply tabling, please contact Clara ([email protected]). Creative offerings are welcome - prayer cards, poems, earthen elements, artwork, etc.
