LCCAN’s mission & vision is reflected in our logo with everything from color to iconography. As the state colors of New Mexico, our primary color is yellow to emphasize our local focus, red is our secondary color to represent our progressive ideals, green is our tertiary color to represent both agriculture & environmentalism. The borders around the state lines are intentionally left open. While the rose is a historical symbol of resistance under authoritarian regimes where the peoples political opinions were suppressed by the government. The petals of the rose form the shape of heart, emphasizing our love & care for the community. The stem of the rose runs from the top to the bottom of the state along the length of the Rio Grande. Finally, Las Cruces is represented in the three crosses atop the Organ Mountains.

For a place that is often overlooked, #NewMexico has an extraordinary amount of things to see and do.

10 states fund prisons using stolen Indigenous lands
State trust lands generate millions of dollars for carceral facilities and programs every year, largely from extractive industries like oil and gas drilling.

Today, we’re saying hands off
Medicaid, Social Security, VA benefits and all of the programs that New Mexicans rely on. As we stand together, we send a clear message: we will never stop organizing and we will stand up for our communities!

Thousands turned out the Roundhouse in Santa Fe as part of the Hands Off national protest. And they brought signs.

Fighting fascism with Dolores Huerta (on her birthday!) and @ufw.bsky.social was hands down the best part of today's #HANDSOFF NM protests.
