The 2019 New Mexico legislative session will end at noon on Saturday, March 16. This guide outlines the high priority bills that remain in play and how you – as trained ACLU-NM legislative advocates – can continue to help us advance the good ones and stop the bad ones during this final crucial period of the session. The last 10 days of the session will determine whether this session is a success.
We’ve already passed our major ACLU-NM bill, the New Mexico Electronic Communications Privacy Act, SB199, which protects our private digital information from being accessed by law enforcement without a warrant. But we are striving to pass several more. We need your help contacting legislators via email, phone and personal visit.
We will continue to take small groups of activist leaders up to the Roundhouse to help us advocate for our key issues. If you are interested in doing this, please contact Mary Ann Maestas, Reproductive Rights Field Organizer, [email protected], Osmani Alcaraz-Ochoa, Criminal Justice Field Organizer, [email protected], or Stephanie Corte, Immigrant Rights Campaign Strategist, [email protected].

Today, the ACLU of New Mexico released a report conducted in concert with University of New Mexico New Mexico researchers, revealing the state’s rate of solitary confinement is more than double what the New Mexico Corrections Department reports. After requesting data under New Mexico’s public records law about how the department calculates solitary confinement, the researchers determined that NMDC failed to include into its calculations several units and security levels where inmates are confined for more than 22 hours a day, leading to a misestimation of the total population in isolation. At a rate of nine percent, New Mexico ranks among the top five states with the greatest percent of inmates in solitary confinement.
