- URGENT ACTION NEEDED
Stop the March NM Oil and Gas Lease Sale
#NoNewLeases #FrackOffGreaterChaco
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is gearing up for another lease sale of public and ancestral tribal lands in New Mexico.
Tell the BLM to cancel their March lease sale and to work on a plan that protects New Mexico’s public health and safety, cultural resources, the environment, and includes meaningful tribal consultation.
Last December, we managed to deliver over 10,000 protest comments opposing the December 2018 lease sale. With your help, we can surpass this and elevate our voices opposing the BLM’s brazen moves to prioritize industry profit over protecting sacred lands, the environment, community health and safety, and much more.

"The oil and gas development has pretty much destroyed our way of life. Our livestock are suffering too. I have been a livestock owner for many years. I made my living by raising sheep and cattle. Now, I am being told by BLM I can only have so many sheep and cattle. My grazing area is getting less and less. But BLM is leasing more and more of the lands to oil and gas development. Soon, there will be nothing left. I believe this is going to happen. My biggest concern is our water, sooner or later it will be contaminated and we will not be able to use our water. How can we get these companies out?"
