Melanie Stansbury: “This hearing is making America less safe for our children and LGBTQ and people of color across this country.”

What we need is justice and accountability for the survivors, not just in New Mexico but all across the country.

As a New Mexican, this is personal.

New Mexicans have been clear: They do not want unregulated data centers in New Mexico stealing our water, stealing our land, polluting our air and abusing our communities.

Our state’s name carries generations of history, culture, and family—and it belongs to us. We’re New Mexicans. Period.
