Stop the oil and gas industry's stranglehold on New Mexico

The oil and gas industry is costing New Mexico dearly, yet their lobbyists have convinced the state’s elected officials that without oil and gas, the state would wither.

We need your help to push back on the costly myth that the state needs oil and gas. Sign the petition today and tell New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and key legislative leaders to STOP THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY’S STRANGLEHOLD on New Mexico.

New Mexico’s leaders need to make a just and equitable transition from fossil fuels a number one priority, not keep the state shackled to oil and gas. Sign the petition today!

Oil and gas are costing hard-working New Mexicans dearly, yet companies and their lobbyists are wielding undue influence to keep the state shackled to their unsustainable industry.

It's time to STOP THE STRANGLEHOLD.

I call on you to get costly oil and gas industry influence out of the New Mexico government and to make a just and equitable transition from fossil fuels a number one priority.

The myth that New Mexico needs oil and gas is taking a terrible toll on the state. The state ranks last in quality of education, has the second highest poverty rate in the United States, and was recently ranked the third worst state in the nation.

If oil and gas were the key to New Mexico's prosperity, the state would be one of the most prosperous in the United States. It's not even close.

The oil and gas industry has wielded undue political influence to cover up its true costs. The reality is, the industry's air and water contamination, climate pollution, and destruction of the state's land are exacting a terrible toll on New Mexico's health and environment.

It's time to reject oil and gas industry influence in the state's government. New Mexico can't afford to remain shackled to costly and destructive fossil fuels. Please put people and communities first and make a just and equitable transition a priority.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
