LOCAL and Statewide Groups
As we all work together towards creating positive change in our state, local community involvement is very important. Often, we are able to facilitate change locally, but it is more difficult to achieve improvement at the statewide level. When more local communities advocate for change, that increases the pressure on the state to follow suit.
We encourage you to get involved in grassroots efforts within your local communities. Here is a list of NM freedom-related groups you may want to work with:

SAVE-THE KIDS COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT
Many parents are misinformed such that they greatly overestimate the risks of COVID-19 illness for kids, while underestimating the risks of COVID-19 vaccines. With information being censored and controlled, it is hard for parents to gain access to the balanced information they need for informed consent.
Here is your opportunity to join us in educational outreach for parents in your own community. You don’t have to engage directly with anyone, and we have various ways that you can help by distributing vaccine educational information at local stores, parking lots, etc.
January 22 events are planned for Albuquerque and Las Cruces. For Albuquerque, contact Karen at naturallyhealthykaren@fastmail.com. For Las Cruces, contact Sarah at concernedfornm@gmail.com.
PROTEST AGAINST ROUNDHOUSE VACCINE REQUIREMENT
Please stand with us January 18th for the opening of the legislative session to show the New Mexico government that this is not acceptable!
PETITION TO END NM SCHOOL MASK, TESTING, AND VACCINATION MANDATES
It is time to put New Mexico children first and remove the mandated COVID-19 vaccinations, masking, and testing in our schools.
All people have a fundamental right to choose whether or not to use medical devices and treatments, without coercion, threats, or discrimination. New Mexico, which prides itself on respecting people’s bodily autonomy, is trampling on these rights for teachers and students.
30+ states have already demonstrated that it is safe to operate schools without these mandates. New Mexico already has one of the lowest ranked educational systems in the country, and the policies being enacted by the State are greatly increasing the disparity for New Mexico students.
We have a petition to end NM school mandates which is part of a larger overall strategy to push for change. The petition has received 1,000+ signatures, but we need to get this to 5,000+ in order for it to have an impact.
Please sign this petition and share it widely with ALL New Mexicans:

Saturday June 26th: Statewide NM School Mask Protest
What’s next?
All political power is vested in and derived from the people: all government of right originates with the people, is founded upon their will and is instituted solely for their good.
New Mexico Constitution, Article II, Section 2
The people of the state have the sole and exclusive right to govern themselves as a free, sovereign and independent state.
New Mexico Constitution, Article II, Section 3
We, the People of New Mexico, are uniting in common interest for common cause to defend our values, our families, our communities, our homes, our jobs and businesses and local economies, our way of life, our children’s future… to defend New Mexico.
NMFA is non-partisan and our membership is pan-partisan – it includes everyone in a coalition of the willing.
Many interests converge in this work:
- The COVID lockdown
- Constitutional Rights and Freedoms (and civic duty)
- Personal Sovereignty, Religious Freedom, Privacy Rights, etc.
- Elections integrity and anti-corruption
- Health Freedom and right to refuse “vaccines” and other state-mandated medical treatments
