On Friday, September 20th, 2024, at Tiguex Park from 5:00 PM to sunset, we'll gather for the 2024 New Mexico Climate Strike: Reimagine and Rise. This isn't just another event on the calendar, it's an opportunity for us to come together and demand the future we all deserve.

This year's strike is especially meaningful as we celebrate YUCCA's 5th birthday. For five years, YUCCA has been leading this fight, but the truth is, we can't do it alone. Our strength lies in the collective power of everyone who believes in a just transition from fossil fuels, who demands bold action from our leaders, and who refuses to let frontline communities be silenced. We've seen what we can accomplish when we stand together, mobilizing thousands across the state, staging actions that shake the corridors of power, and holding our leaders accountable. But as the climate crisis escalates, we must strengthen our resolve.
As we come together for this pivotal moment, we are united in our commitment to climate justice. This strike is our call for a just transition away from fossil fuels, a celebration of YUCCA's five years of relentless activism, and a powerful push for the People’s Climate Plan. Through our unified voices, art, and action, we’ll show that New Mexicans are ready to break free from fossil fuel dependence and lead the way toward a sustainable, just future. Together, we will reimagine and rise, proving that our resolve cannot be silenced. Let’s make this strike a defining moment in our shared fight for a better world.
LAUNCHING THE PEOPLE'S CLIMATE PLAN AND HOUSE PARTY TOOLKIT: PLEASE SIGN UP TO GATHER FRIENDS/FAMILY IN SEPT
As we gather for the 2024 New Mexico Climate Strike, we’re also launching our People’s Climate Plan, a comprehensive vision shaped by the voices of our communities. This campaign is designed to uplift the voices of frontline communities, ensuring that those who are most impacted by the climate crisis are at the center of decision-making when it comes to climate solutions and policy. The People’s Climate Plan reflects the collective aspirations of our communities, offering a roadmap for a sustainable and just future that prioritizes environmental justice and equity.
To sustain this momentum and deepen our impact, we’re inviting you to take this movement into your homes and engage the folks in your life with whom you are already in community to help us build networks of connection to tackle the climate crisis together. These house parties are more than just social events—they are a powerful tool for grassroots organizing. They provide a space for community members to come together, share their experiences, discuss the People’s Climate Plan, and collectively envision the climate solutions they want to see. By hosting or attending a house party, you’re helping to ensure that the voices of frontline communities continue to lead the path forward, shaping the future of climate action in New Mexico.
YUCCA provides all the resources you’ll need—from educational materials to financial support for food and supplies—to ensure your gathering is both meaningful and impactful. These house parties are a crucial part of our campaign, enabling us to build a broad, inclusive movement that reflects the diverse voices and needs of our communities.
The process is simple:
