Strong Families
Strong Families cultivates people power by deeply caring for our communities, growing our collective leadership, and centering the lived experiences of people most impacted to shape meaningful change. We lead organizing, movement building, narrative, leadership development, and civic engagement strategies so that people can thrive.
Strong Families coordinates year-round civic engagement to change policies and shift culture in NM and beyond. We get out the vote and educate community members on the voting process and other changes happening in their local community. We organize gatherings where decision makers, organizations, and families can come together to share their stories and create solutions in collaboration with one another. As part of our civic engagement strategy, Strong Families does policy work with the community at the center. We organize legislative action days with inter-generational rural families and community partners who speak with legislators on the issues that impact their lives. We work with hundreds of community members throughout the year who receive training and resources on how a bill becomes a law, how to advocate for families, and tools and discussions on the policies that impact their own families and communities.
New Mexico Together for Healthcare is a campaign led by NM Center on Law and Poverty, Health Action NM, and Strong Families. We work with healthcare leaders and providers across the state to bring affordable healthcare to every New Mexican. Visit nmtogether4health.org for more information.
Reproductive Justice is our overall framework for all the reproductive health access and culture shift work that Strong Families engages in year round. We work in coalition to ensure New Mexicans have access to the full spectrum reproductive healthcare they need.
