Melanie Stansbury: “New Mexico is home to 23 Indigenous communities, tribes, and pueblos, and our tribes and pueblos have been here since…”

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.

They want to rewrite the history of this country and take away the resources and leadership of people who have fought, marched and served this country for generations.

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