The Mission of the Environmental Justice Caucus
The mission of the Environmental Justice Caucus of the DPNM is to elevate the voices of all people regardless of race, color, gender, national origin, class, immigration status, disability, and sexuality so that environmental laws, regulations and policies respect all communities. The caucus aims to mitigate the disproportionate harm of climate change and pollution on disenfranchised communities through reducing emissions, securing clean air and water, protecting natural lands and wildlife, and opposing colonization. Actions undertaken by the caucus will include educating the public, initiating policies, promoting legislation, and supporting candidates in New Mexico that promote green values and the principles of environmental justice. We support and shall abide by the rules, goals, beliefs, and values of the DPNM, the Democratic Party of the United States, and the Democratic National Committee. Do you support this mission?

Our Structure
We think of our members working within groups we call circles. Each circle contains members interested in doing woik within the goal(s) of that circle. The members of each circle also establish the goals of that circle, which are changed periodically as the members see fit.

The General Circle. consisting of the Executive Committee and all other interested members, meets at least monthly and is the place where the circles communicate with each other about their on-going activities and determine ways to coordinate with each other. This circle also is a watchdog, making sure that the above stated mission is being followed and making changes to the mission and by-laws as necessary.

The Legislative Action Circle relates to the work of the active circles listed below. It translates the work within these sub-circles into writing and supporting legislation. In these circles much of the heavy-duty week-to-week work is done by EJC members.
- Housing and Transportation
- Energy
- Sustainable Community
- Water
- Member Outreach and Education (Members Engagement, Organizational Networking, Website, Social Media, Phone Calls and Alerts, Data Base, Newsletter)
- Candidate/lLegislator Relationships (AttendLegislative Committes, Town Halls, Attend Interim Committees, Awards to Star Legislators, Campaigns, Letter Writing)
- Connecting with Other Groups (other DPNM caucuses, other environmental groups, tabling at events)
- A Circle You Create or A Circle for Your Town or Area
How You Can Help
In order for the EJC to seriously combat climate change, we need help from all of our members. Please put a check next to each Circle that attracts you. Choose where you would most like to help. Then a member of the Caucus will test and/or phone you to give you details about the aim of that circle and any upcoming meetings. You are not expected to have any experience in the circle you choose.
