We’re celebrating Black History Month by honoring the lives of those who built the movement we exist in today! The fight for liberation is intersectional, and we honor these trailblazers by organizing with resistance, joy, and community. #blackhistorymonth #blacklgbtqhistory #eqnm

ABQ folks! Friday the 13th Tattoo Takeover with EQNM! These amazing artists collaborated with us to host flash tattoo events on Friday, proceeds going towards fighting for LGBTQ New Mexicans and designs highlighting queer love! Special thanks to these artists! #flashtattoos #abqtattoos #nmlgbtq

We currently stand as the national leader in election security and transparency, let’s keep it that way by fully funding the Secretary of State. This isn’t an expense - it’s an investment in democracy. #nmleg #electionsecurity #nmlegis

HB9, The Immigrant Safety Act, is a reflection of New Mexico values. We will not be complicit as Queer and Trans Immigrants in detention facilities are abused and denied the care they need. HB9 passed the House Judiciary Committee this evening. We’re grateful to committee members. #nmleg #nmlegis

Here’s what went down during the first week of the 2026 Legislative Session! Get ready for things to speed up and heat up next week! #nmleg #nmlegis #nmlgbtq #eqnm

Happy New Year! The 2026 Legislative Session is around the corner. Tell your legislators that data privacy matters! Sign the petition through the link in bio or at nmchispa.org! #nmchispa #dataprivacy #newyear #nmleg

We launched the only LGBTQ Legislative Leadership Development Program in the state, bringing young Queer and Trans voices into policymaking spaces for a hands-on experience! #eqnm #nmlgbtq #nmlegis #queeryouth

We helped pass landmark legislation like Confirmatory Adoptions, which will help protect LGBTQ families, Semi-open Primaries, ensuring every New Mexican has a voice in every election, and the MVD Data Bill, protecting sensitive personal information held by state agencies. #eqnm #nmlgbtq #nmleg

We launched the NMCHISPA campaign, taking on Big Tech and hostile governments in order to protect New Mexicans personal information online so that it can't be used to harass, persecute, or prosecute them. Learn more at NMCHISPA.org or at the link in our bio! #eqnm #nmchispa #nmlgbtq #dataprivacy

Our endorsed candidates for municipal and school board elections had an 85% win rate! Meaning an overwhelming majority of our candidates will soon take office and work to protect and uplift LGBTQ New Mexicans! #eqnm #nmlgbtq #nmelections #2025election

EQNM & TGRCNM convened focus groups of Gender-affirming and Reproductive healthcare providers in order to get a better understanding of our state's healthcare landscape and how we can most effectively take action to protect New Mexicans. #eqnm #protecttransfolks #protecttransyouth #nmlgbtq

We kicked off Pride Month by hosting the biggest Resilience event in our organization's history! In a time of fear and uncertainty, we gathered in solidarity and joy. #eqnm #pridemonth #nmlgbtq #lgbtqpride

We mobilized massive civic engagement. We sent almost 50,000 texts, sent 131,000 emails, and made 6,500 calls, engaging our community and keeping you up to date! #eqnm #nmlgbtq #queerjoy

During the 2025 Legislative Session, we defeated legislation with the potential to harm LGBTQ New Mexicans. Here in New Mexico, advocates and legislators stand together against the “new normal” of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, stopping harmful bills and pushing the status quo forward. #eqnm #nmleg #nmlgbtq

We kept the momentum going and recruited two new board members and hired three new staff! Our team will continue to grow right alongside our movement! #eqnm #queerjoy #nmlgbtq

This year, we hit a huge goal by opening our office! A place where staff, board members, and community can work together! Shout out to TGRCNM for renting us an awesome space next to our closest partners! #eqnm #queerjoy #nmlgbtq

It's that time of year when we celebrate our wins! We couldn't do any of our great work without your support, so let's spend the last few days of 2025 counting down our top ten together.
