Save Otero Mesa

More than 1 million acres of Otero Mesa are vulnerable to mining and drilling. At risk: the desert’s unique landscape, an important source of drinking water, and 1,000 native species including our only pure herd of pronghorn antelope. We’re urging President Obama to save Otero Mesa by making it a national monument.

Our Water, Our Future

More than 85% of New Mexico’s rivers and streams are vulnerable to dumping and development. Now, polluters’ allies in Congress are trying to block the EPA from restoring vital safeguards. To protect New Mexico’s waterways, we need to show massive public support for clean water.

Get New Mexico Off Oil

The environmental costs of our oil dependence are out of control — from the accidents and spills, to smog, to climate change. It's time to set this country on a path to getting off oil for good. We can get there by convincing our leaders to make new investments in fuel-efficient cars, new technology, and a first-class system of public transportation.

Clean Air, Healthy Families

New EPA clean air standards will cut mercury pollution by 90% and save 46,000 lives each year. The coal industry and their friends in Congress are trying to roll back these standards, but we’re urging Congress to let EPA do its job and move forward with its commonsense plan to protect public health.
