Dear Friend,
Like you, NewMexicoWomen.Org values increased agency, joy, and fulfillment for women, girls, and gender nonconforming people across the vast expanses of our beautiful state.
With your support, NMW.O invests deeply in the advocates, organizers, and movement-builders whose efforts secure essential protections and powerful solutions for New Mexicans. As our recently-published The Landscape of Gender Justice in New Mexico: 2025 Status Report cites, some of these safeguards – which serve as models nationally – include:
-
Expanding reproductive coverage through pregnancy related Medicaid.
-
Maintaining New Mexico as a “safe state” where abortion is legal.
-
Becoming a haven for trans people as one of five states with “shield laws” that protect out-of-state patients seeking gender-affirming care.
-
Universal free childcare for families through our unique Early Childhood Department, among other benefits.
At the same time, provider shortages, threats to Medicaid funding, and an onslaught of regressive policies threaten these and many other steps forward.
