Good Morning New Mexico Activists:
A short note about two important hearings this morning:
The revised version of the Green Amendment, HJR 2, will be heard at 9 a.m. today and there will be 15 minutes for public comment for those in support or opposed, as well as an on-screenpoll. Please join the hearing this morning to show the committee members the people’s overwhelming support for the Green Amendment. If you can’t offer public comment, please take the poll to show your support. And stay logged in to the Zoom for the whole hearing so that participant numbers stay high.
Sat., Feb. 5, 9 am, House Energy, Environment & Natural Resources will hear HJR 2 Environmental Rights (Green Amendment). Get talking points at the link in the bill title. And join the Zoom webinar at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88679832287. Webinar ID: 886 7983 2287. If you haven’t called or emailed committee members yet, please do so this morning. Note that Rep.
