Letters to the Editor: 

Project 2025 is a dangerous threat to our way of life. The plan mandates converting the federal government into an authoritarian regime when the next Republican president comes into power. The overhaul of America is to replace scientific method by enforcing us to live by their interpretation of the Bible. Changes include ramping up nuclear bomb testing on our lands and increasing dumping radioactive waste here and again at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. New Mexicans already bear the arduous burden imposed by the Waste Isolation Project Plant nuclear burial site expansion.

Public health could be converted into a spying organization tracking pregnancies, with little access to birth control. Miscarriages would be assessed for criminal charges. The project would abolish all regulations and laws to give wealthy private interests absolute control over fossil fuel and mineral resources. The government would be run by a president immune from prosecution and a judicial system run by Christian nationalism judges, including those on the Supreme Court. We need to speak up and spread the word. Vote Blue.

Who we select in November’s election will determine the fate of critical issues facing out country. Among many important issues are immigration, crime, inflation, climate change, gun violence, women’s reproductive health, the next Supreme Court pick, poverty, infrastructure and countless more. The overriding factor that will determine the outcome for all of these issues is who we chose for president. Choosing convicted felon former President Donald Trump means putting our democracy at the mercy of extreme religious fanatics, the elitist Heritage Foundation, billionaire-owned monopolies, a corrupt Supreme Court and convicted criminals. While professing to love our democracy, Trump has already proudly announced that he will be “a dictator for a day.” We must reject the notion that America needs a dictator. America’s only choice is to vote against a destructive MAGA Republican party and for a committed Democratic ticket.

Vice President Kamala Harris fights for the freedom of women to make their own decisions about their reproductive health. As a prosecutor and the attorney general of California, she has fought crime. Under the Biden/Harris administration, crime rates are down compared to the end of the Trump era.

Harris supported the bipartisan immigration reform bill that former President Donald Trump asked his supporters in Congress to veto so he could use it as a campaign issue. The Biden/Harris administration and Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act that combats global warming and promotes a healthy environment.

In addition, this administration produced an economy that is the “envy of the world,” as reported in the Wall Street Journal. Those include record low unemployment levels and pandemic-induced inflation rates falling faster than most developed countries in the world. For these reasons and others, we from Indivisible Santa Fe endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president of the United States.

As Harris said, “Let us go forward, not backward!”

Seeking Solutions

We need a manageable resolution to the situation at our southern border. Our history there is at least 500 years in the making. Conflict, hardships, and changing aspirations still drive migration throughout the world. When governments fail, or when natural catastrophes occur, people have always migrated seeking better lives. We are witnessing that in real time. The situation calls for solutions and not the fear and hatred fanned by those with no solutions. 

In 2021 President Biden assigned Vice President Harris to focus on the fundamental reasons people leave Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Harris said, “(O)ur work is to help Guatemalans find hope at home,” offering assistance and collaboration instead of Trump’s punitive measures against Central American governments. She warned those who would make the dangerous trek to the U.S. - Mexico border, “Do not come.” She was never named a "border czar” as conservative media claims.

Instead, she worked with conservative Republicans and President Biden to find answers, and together, they negotiated legislation funding more robust immigration controls (to hire and equip more border patrol personnel, for example). Unfortunately, former President Trump ordered Congressional Republicans to kill the bill and abandon any solutions so he could continue to use the border crisis for his own political ambitions.

INDIVISIBLE NATIONAL

Indivisible is providing these special events through the Activist Care Circle. 

These workshops have been curated with the needs of Indivisible group leaders and members in mind. Over the next two months, you will be able to attend special workshops and have access to 1:1 coaching sessions.

Each one-hour* Activist Care Circle workshop includes a mix of interactive lessons, mindfulness moments, self-care practice, group discussion, and, of course, fun. Take a quick break, join your fellow activists, and spend time with folks who get it. Our goal is for you to leave with stress-reduction tools for your activist toolbox and more peace than came in with.

CT / 5:30-7:00 pm MTOctober 10th 6:30-8:00 pm Workshops are 60 minutes. Attendees are invited, but not required, to continue for an optional additional 30 minutes of guided conversation and camaraderie. Interactive exercises are designed to function at each attendee’s comfort level, and extroverts and introverts are welcome alike.

Caring for You So You Can Care for Others: Overcoming Activist Fatigue: 

Even though we are experiencing positive momentum, activists still carry a heavy emotional load. We’ve got important work to do, and people are counting on us. Taking care of ourselves must be a priority.We can’t fight for our future if we have no fight left in us.

Join us on October 10 and create a specific self-care plan for these final days, and beyond. Give the movement, this election, your family, and most importantly YOU, your best self.

Post-Election Wind Down: November 14th 6:30-8:00 pm CT / 5:30-7:00 pm MT
To be constructed based on the election outcome.
