LETTER WRITING TAKE ACTION
The Letter Campaign is directed to the Legislative committees member in the Conservation, Judiciary and Legislative Finance that the Bill 149 is scheduled to be heard.
New Mexico's 2021 legislative session has begun. We all need to work together to support frontline and Indigenous communities affected by fracking, as well as supporting the youth's call for immediate action on the climate crisis. It is important to send these letters and make the calls to show the governor and legislators public support for a Pause on Fracking in New Mexico. We will continue our campaign until a moratorium is passed and the people are heard.
- Bring this recent event to the attention of our lawmakers in the Conservation, Judiciary and Legislative finance Committee by sending this digital letter.
- The January 21st, 2020 explosion of a "produced water" line - just 100 feet from a family residence in Carlsbad - illuminates the serious gaps in a broken regulatory system that are putting the health and safety of all New Mexicans at risk.
- The disposal of so-called "produced water"- in reality, the fracking industry's liquid toxic waste - is creating a public health emergency of unprecedented scope across America. In 2018, more than 42 billion gallons of produced water were created in NM's Permian Basin alone.
- Please take the time to read this letter, follow the links, and send it on to our elected officials.
- The recent discovery of a dumping of 288 tons TENORM radioactive waste into the Rio Rancho Landfill from brine salts in which residents are still waiting for testing. We can be silent no longer.
- Read SB 149 for yourself. SB 149 is sponsored by Senator Antoinette Sedillo Lopez (D-Dist. 16) and Representative Patricia Roybal Caballero (D-Dist. 13). We need this bill to address health studies, health protections and safety Issues from fracking in New Mexico.
