Melanie Stansbury: “Tribes are sovereign nations.”

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.

Tribal Nations are at the forefront of protecting our communities—and they deserve the tools and resources they need to prepare for public health emergencies.

As a New Mexican, this is personal.

We are calling for an immediate inquiry into the long-term usage of water by Project Jupiter and believe that this state needs to do its due diligence before this project continues to proceed.
