This is a pivotal moment for civil rights in our state—and we’re inviting members of the legal community to be at the heart of it.
We are proud to introduce the ACLU of New Mexico Legal Community Fund: a fund created to sustain and expand our impact through transformative litigation. We know the power of legal advocacy to drive systemic change, and now more than ever, we need legal professionals who are ready to help shape the future of justice in New Mexico.
Why This Fund Matters
This initiative is more than just a new funding stream—it’s a commitment to bold, high-impact litigation that advances civil liberties. The ACLU of New Mexico has the freedom to take on high-risk, high-reward cases that set legal precedent—even when there’s no financial incentive. Your support helps us do just that.
With the New Mexico Civil Rights Act as a national model, and as our state continues to stand at the forefront of key battles—reproductive rights, immigrant justice, Indigenous sovereignty—our legal work must be both nimble and relentless. That’s why we’re building this fund, and why we need you with us.
Become a Founding Member
We are inviting legal professionals and firms to be a founding member of this fund—those who recognize the critical role of the law in advancing justice and who are ready to lead by example.
Whether you choose to give a one-time gift or become an ongoing contributor, your commitment now will ensure this fund launches with the strength it needs to make real change.
This is your moment to help define the next chapter of civil rights in New Mexico. Let’s build it—together.
