After years of fighting against NM once again becoming a sacrifice zone of nuclear waste, we have prevailed. SB 53 passed the House and heads to the Governor. Too many people to thank but i’ll start with these incredible advocates who we all owe a debt of gratitude too. #nmleg
On July 16, 1945 at 5:29AM, the world’s first atomic bomb exploded at a test site in the NM desert. 77 years later, our government is still suppressing and covering up the consequences for the residents of NM and El Paso, TX.

SB54 Storage of Certain Radioactive Waste moving slowly in Senate Judiciary, so we r asking folx to pls call Speaker Egolf's office to request that the companion bill HB127 be scheduled for a vote on the House Floor asap. #HaltHoltec@jeff4nm@BrianEgolf
Tomorrow I’ll be presenting a bill to prohibit the disposal of high level waste in NM. It’s one of the best opportunities we have to take this radioactive bullseye off NM. If we fail this waste will come in by rail through all parts of NM via armed guard, for years.
Today we made national news by standing up for ourselves. Imagine how we’ll change the debate if we pass this bill into law. Lets do this! https://t.co/VcCeN45vzr
Protected by “Guards and Guns” was how a Holtec supporter tried to assure legislators that 10,000 casks of high level waste coming in through all parts of the state should be of no concern. Fortunately HB 127, which would ban this material coming into NM,heads to the House floor.
SB-54 UPDATE: TODAY the #HaltHoltec Bill will be heard in Senate Judiciary Committee at 1:30pm (subject to change). Pls email a comment in support of 300 words or less to [email protected] by 12:30pm #nmleg@jeff4nm

"It’s extremely disheartening to see @HouseDemocrats pushing a #DirtyEnergy bill littered with false solutions & #FossilFuel subsidies. The #EnvironmentalJustice provisions contained therein are nothing more than an afterthought."

@CJAOurPower@HouseDemocrats @LeaderHoyer @SpeakerPelosi@350@sunrisemvmt@foe_us@IENearth@RepMaxineWaters@JacksonLeeTX18 @Deb4CongressNM There's also a BAD nuclear bill that's expected to be added as an amendment on the floor today. H.R. 8258 (Mike Levin, D-CA-49) will fund DOE over a half Billion $$ for nuclear power, reprocessing, consolidated storage in NM & TX, & national transport of deadly radioactive waste.
