Roadless areas provide a de facto buffer to protect wilderness from the impacts of industrial forest management and other resource extraction occurring on nearby National Forest System lands. #NMpol #NMleg

Roadless areas matter for wilderness preservation

We should all be deeply concerned about the most recent challenge to the integrity of America’s national forests — the proposed repeal of the 2001 U.S. Forest Service Roadless Area

Increasing energy demand and Republicans’ Big, Bad Bill is creating a perfect storm that will hit New Mexicans in their electric bills.

They deserve to know it’s coming–and why.

Today I held a roundtable on the real impacts of the Republican bill and how we can push back.

It’s been a tough few months in DC, but there is one huge win we can all celebrate: we kept public lands in public hands.

We came together–across the aisle and across the conservation world–to protect our public lands. I’m grateful to everyone who joined the fight with us.

The Trump EPA is drafting a plan that would end the federal government's ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

This would be an absolutely catastrophic decision that would put millions of lives in jeopardy all while Big Oil gets even richer.

"Too many areas of the country have become news deserts, without journalists to cover school board meetings, attend city council sessions or serve as public watchdogs." Public radio is essential for a functional democracy. #NMpol #NMLeg www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/edit...

Public media funding cuts can't be allowed to stand

Breaking systems is easy, as we have seen in the deluge of federal cutbacks since January. What is difficult is choosing what to rebuild and maintain so that basic services
