We're before the #NMleg Sen. Finance Cmt. on SB4, the Clear Horizons Act, a well-designed climate bill. All these folks standing are taking time from their day to support climate action. May they prevail over the oil & gas interests in opposition to this bill.

Be fierce, people ✊🏼.

Waiting to hear SB4 in the Senate finance Committee. This bill will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, invest in green jobs, and prioritize BIPOC communities most impacted by climate change. It’s time for real action—New Mexico deserves a just and sustainable future! #ClearHorizonsAct

Senator Ezell describes the smell of oil and gas pollution as the smell of money.... The cost of all that contamination? Close to incalculable. Ferocious fires followed by floods, extreme heat and drought. #ActonClimate Vote yes on SB4. Chevron in Exxon are busy lobbying against our future.
