Don't donate to the EJC this month. Instead, give to your favorite candidate supporting environmental justice.

Come to hear Senator Sedillo Lopez explain the Green Amendment which has failed twice to pass the state legislature. The Green Amendment gives each of us the right to a clean and healthy environment. Having this amendment enables New Mexicans to right the environmental injustice that still plagues our state.

Contested Democratic Primary elections will happen on June 4. If you have primary candidates running in your area, it's time to let them know that you want their support for the Green Amendment. If you don't have a primary contest in your area, look to a neighboring town or city to assist candidates who back the amendment.

We have also invited primary candidates to this and next month's membership meetings.

We Democrats know how to ring doorbells, make phone calls, and pass the hat for candidates in whom we believe. Let's do it!

Please join us at our next Executive Committee Meeting on Monday May 6 at 7PM. That's when we will plan our June Membership Meeting, and we would love your input.
