Indivisible Albuquerque
Looking for Water Warriors
Indivisible Albuquerque is looking for “Water Warriors” to attend the NM Water Quality Control Commission on Tuesday, August 12, in Santa Fe.
40 Water Warriors are needed: Santa Fe – Tuesday, August 12 (time TBD)
There is urgent action needed to protect NM water! The Water Quality Control Commission (WQCC) just passed a landmark rule to prevent toxic oil and gas wastewater discharge, and now they’re considering rolling it back. On August 12, they’ll hear a petition from the WATR Alliance (a rebranded NM Oil & Gas Association front group) to amend that very rule.
Let’s stop this backslide! We need at least 40 clean water advocates to show up in person at the hearing in Santa Fe. No testimony required—your presence speaks volumes. There is a carpool meetup at Target off I-25 & Paseo Del Norte (time TBD).
NEW! Protest in Tijeras on Sunday mornings, 9 – 10 am at 487 & NM-333.
NEW! Weekly Friday vigil in Santa Fe, Sandoval, and West Alameda, 12-1 pm.
Join People Against Tyranny every Tuesday 11am to NOON protesting the chaos, divisiveness and cruelty of Donny-2-Dolls’ wreckage! We’re in the Northeast Heights at the intersection of Montgomery and Juan Tabo.
There’s plenty of parking in the shopping centers on each corner. Bring your signs, your voices, noisemakers, bodies and souls, and your friends!
Please do not engage with hecklers (we haven’t had many) and allow pedestrians to get through.

West Side Dems Immigration Info Hub
“If the rights of one person are denied, the rights of all of us are denied. This concept of mass deportation is very frightening. So West Side Dems will develop a hub of information about immigration and mass deportation.”

Your Party Needs You
In May, we will elect precinct and ward chairs. These are important positions because these chairs communicate with voters and work to get out the vote. If you have never thought of running for precinct or ward chair consider that as your contribution to our continued Blue West Side, Blue Bernalillo County and Blue New Mexico. It is very important right now that we all do what we can to make sure our party is strong and can withstand attacks from the Republicans.
Precinct and ward chairs communicate with their neighbors and provide communication between the voters and the state and local party. They recruit volunteers to knock on doors, make phone calls, text and write postcards.
Precinct and ward elections will be held in March and April before the state convention is held April 26 in person and online. State officers and committee members will be elected at that time.
Stay tuned for the call for your precinct and ward elections. Seriously think about becoming a precinct or ward chair. Now is the time we must all be involved.

Living on the West Side
Democrats Care!
We encourage and support candidates who will work for the good of everyone in our community. We believe in a government that is truly “of the people, by the people, and for the people”…not just for corporations, Wall Street, or the rich.

Social justice and human rights are more important than corporate profits. We seek to improve the quality of life for all of our residents through grass-roots support of candidates who listen and work to implement liberal programs and legislation.
Get Involved…
Your candidates can’t win without your help. Canvassing, phone banking, word-of-mouth, volunteering, and donating are all ways to work together to achieve our common goals.
