What You Can Do Right Now
Speak up at candidate meetings. It's an election year! If you attend candidate get-togethers, fundraisers, or forums, don't forget to express your support for Health Security—with a short explanation about why you think it is important—and urge the candidate to publicly support it as well.
Set up meetings with groups and local organizations in your community. If a group of people in your community or an organization you belong to would like to find out more about this exciting phase of the Health Security journey, email us to set up a meeting or presentation. We need to keep spreading the word!

Upcoming Event #2: Legislative Health and Human Services Committee Meeting, Sept. 15
We have been invited to present on the current status of the Health Security Plan design process to the interim Legislative Health and Human Services Committee at its September 15 meeting in Gallup.
Between legislative sessions, the interim Legislative Health and Human Service Committee goes on the road. Here, they are meeting in Albuquerque in July.
This is a crucial opportunity to make it clear to committee members why systemic health care reform is vital for the health of our residents and our state. Simply plugging the holes in our system is not going to solve the serious crisis we face. At this meeting, we can help the committee understand how important it is to continue the design process of our own New Mexico health plan.
This is also a critical meeting for us because we are seeking the committee’s endorsement of 2023 legislation to create a special board that, with public input, will be authorized to continue putting together the key pieces of the Health Security Plan design jigsaw puzzle.
