Ever wonder about measures of poverty & how they can help us understand the impact of certain policies? Poverty still harms too many of our families, but if you look to the right measure, you can see which policies are working to help. #nmleg #nmpol nmvoices.org/archives/19479
It's far beyond time for the state to start working with key stakeholders to develop a comprehensive plan to give our kids a K-12 education system that respects & uplifts their languages, cultures, & abilities while meeting their needs. #YazzieMartinez #EducationEquity

According to a recent report from @iteptweets, undocumented immigrants in our state paid over 150 million dollars in taxes in 2022! But how does that work? And what can we do to make sure ALL our families get the support they need? #nmpol
Creating the Opportunity Scholarship made college tuition-free for student parents in NM, but what about their other needs to complete their degrees? #nmpol
According to a new study, 1 in 3 New Mexico college students are parents! What are their needs, and how can we best support them on their path to a degree? #GuaranteedIncome #nmpol

I had the great privilege of speaking to other advocates about the cliff effect and the incredible positive impact of benefit programs like SNAP in lifting families out of poverty. Wonderful Summit, thanks @RoadrunnerFdBnk! #nmpol
Yesterday, we hosted the 2024 SNAP Summit. Over 50 groups were represented. We brought these groups together for a day of learning about the importance of SNAP in New Mexico and the need to coordinate each organization’s advocacy efforts. #snapbenefits #newmexico #nutrition

No matter how many layers of middlemen (and bonus tax avoidance!) you put in a private school tuition tax credit program, it's still fundamentally the same as vouchers -- sending public money to private mostly religious schools.
Data from the NM #KidsCount Data Book has led to major policy wins for our families and children, like the Working Families Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and the Early Childhood Trust Fund! Read more in the @ABQJournal ➡️ bit.ly/3TAfgoc #nmpol
When I was a high school student, I had no idea how to advocate or why I should care about policy. It was truly a privilege to speak with these young people who are already engaged in advocacy & interested in policy to make NM a better place for us all!

3 specifics: 1. Expanding SNAP eligibility would help to address the cliff effect. 2. Kinship Care SNAP would help over 6,000 kids living with grandparents! 3. Increasing the SNAP supplement will improve food security for older adults & those with disabilities. #nmleg #nmpol
Our #nmleg should ensure that TANF & SNAP reach more New Mexico families. Both programs support our kids' health & education & boost local economies. Please contact members of Senate Finance & urge them to support the executive request for TANF & SNAP expansions this session!
NM's early childhood educators and professionals play an essential role in our children's development and future success. This session let's establish a wage and career ladder for child care workers so they get paid the wages they deserve! #nmpol #nmleg
