From Retake Our Democracy today:
“If you’ve ever doubted whether your activism makes a difference, this should assure you that it does. In 2019, less than a third of the bills we supported passed. This year, it looks like at least half or more will pass – and this was accomplished in a short session! You might think that it has something to do with this being an election year for our House and Senate members. But that only reinforces the effectiveness of your activism – our legislators are listening and they are responding to your activism because they want your vote! That’s what democracy is all about.*************
……… ACTION: The last three bills we mention above (HJR 1, HB 217, and HB 148) are now all in Senate Finance, so please email and call members of the Senate Finance Committee today to urge them to hear and support these bills*. If we get them through this committee, they’ll move to the Senate Floor and have a chance to become law. Find contact info for committee members below.

For the last few days, many of the committee schedule hearings have not been posted on the nmlegis.gov website, so we can’t be sure about what’s scheduled today or tomorrow. We know that things are getting down to the wire, but there’s no excuse for not publishing committee hearing schedules online for the public!
We’re seeing a lot of “No Agenda at This Time” and “Agenda to Be Announced.” Committees are meeting, but we have no advance notice – hearing schedules are just posted outside the door of the hearing room the same day.
As you can imagine, this makes it difficult for us to tell you what’s being heard and when!

ACTION: The only one of our bills that we know is scheduled in committee today, Tuesday, Feb. 18, is SM 9 All Payer Global Hospital Budget Task Force at 8:30 a.m. in Room 321, in the Senate Rules Committee. Please email and call committee members using the contact info below. If you plan to be at the Roundhouse, we’ll be outside the hearing room with talking points and buttons for you.
