The creation of an independent redistricting commission, being considered by the New Mexico legislature now via HJR1, serves democracy by taking redistricting decisions away from legislators. Learn more from this @thenewmexican op-ed: bit.ly/3JHsewQ #nmleg #nmpol

HJR1 Independent Redistricting Commission will be heard by the House Judiciary committee as early as next week. Join us in contacting committee members and asking them to vote "do pass!" Find details and contact info. here: conta.cc/3wV3721. #nmleg #nmpol

Sponsor Rep. Figueroa argues it's unreasonable to ask lawmakers, trained to pull for their party, to make redistricting fair and independent. That's why it's a job that must be done without them. Join us as we continue to persuade lawmakers of this! bit.ly/3HthhMP #nmleg

We're one step closer to fair redistricting in New Mexico! Today the House Government, Elections and Indian Affairs Committee voted along bipartisan lines to pass HJR1. Join us now in urging members of the House Judiciary Committee to vote "do pass" on HJR1. #nmleg #nmpol

📢 You can now follow HJR1 House Joint Resolution for an Independent Redistricting Commission as it moves through the legislative session: bit.ly/3GGCwu5. Sign up for email updates here: bit.ly/3ZFZPwG. We look forward to your participation! #nmleg #nmpol

The New Mexico constitution allows legislators to draw their own districts. This isn't fair to voters. That's why we need a constitutional amendment that creates an Independent Redistricting Commission. Will you join us to get this done? bit.ly/3GRUuLH #nmleg #nmpol

HJR1 on an Independent Redistricting Commission has been filed at the New Mexico Legislature! If passed, it would allow New Mexico voters to decide if they want an independent redistricting commission. Please contact your legislators for their support. #nmleg #nmpol

📣Join us TOMORROW (Dec. 13) for a virtual meeting with our partner organizations and House Joint Resolution Sponsor Natalie Figueroa as we prepare for the Legislative Session 2023! We look forward to seeing you there! Get info. for joining the meeting >> conta.cc/3Ptb33i

The Princeton Gerrymandering Project report cards gave New Mexico’s House map an "A" for partisan fairness but a "C" for lacking competitive districts (a conclusion supported by a study co-authored by Dr. Gabriel Sanchez of UNM). It's time to fix this! kunm.org/local-news/202…

Nonpartisan redistricting is essential to fair elections. We must remove partisanship and incumbency protection with not just an advisory committee but an Independent Redistricting Commission, established by a constitutional amendment. @thenewmexican bit.ly/3OvOuKs
