State legislatures increasingly hold the keys to the civil rights of America’s citizens. Voting, reproductive freedoms, economic rights, healthcare, and other individual rights, have more and more been the subject of federal court deference to the states.  Using your voice to tell your representatives what is important to you is how we uphold the 5th Principle, The right of conscience, and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.

UUWC will closely watch the 2024 session of the New Mexico Legislature.

Of course, a constant watch of federal legislation occurs.
