SAFER COMMUNITY PLACES ORDINANCE (0-26-15) ASK COUNCILORS TO: VOTE YES on the ordinance AS-IS | VOTE NO on Councilor Dan Lewis's amendment What it does: Designates schools, clinics, and shelters as "Safer Community Places" requiring ICE agents to present judicial warrants before entry • Blocks ICE from using city property for staging operations (like parking garages) Requires businesses to post signs marking private spaces and notify staff within 24 hours of federal 1-9 audits Why it matters: This ordinance protects the heart of our community: where our children learn, where families seek healthcare, and where those facing hardship find shelter. Every family deserves to access these spaces without fear. Additionally, Councilor Dan Lewis's proposed amendment is legally unsound and would create liability and risk for the exact hardworking Burquenos this ordinance aims to protect.

GROSS RECEIPTS TAX INCREASE (0-26-16) ASK COUNCILORS TO: VOTE NO What it does: • Increases the Gross Receipts Tax, which places a heavier burden on working families in Albuquerque Why it matters: Working families in Albuquerque are already stretched thin. When the city needs more revenue, it shouldn't come from the people who can least afford it. The mayor has made careless budget choices, and the city council has failed to provide proper fiscal oversight on the overall budget and the cost of lawsuits that taxpayers end up paying for. We need accountability from our elected officials, not more taxes on households already facing rising costs for groceries, housing, and everyday goods.

IMMEDIATE RUNOFF ELECTIONS (RANKED CHOICE VOTING) ASK COUNCILORS TO: SUPPORT IT & VOTE YES What it does: • Implements Ranked Choice Voting to save the city money, time, and resources while making it easier for people to participate in elections The bill was heard in the Finance & Government Operations Committee on March 9. The committee voted 4-1 against advancing the ordinance. However, under Albuquerque City Council rules, an ordinance can still be brought back to the full Council if four councilors vote to revive it. The next opportunity to do that is the March 16 City Council meeting. Why it matters: This isn't an untested theory. Santa Fe, Las Cruces, and many other cities across the U.S. have proven this works. Immediate runoffs strengthen our communities and families by making voting simple and ensuring more people are represented in our democracy. When more voices are heard, our government better reflects the people it serves. This is about building a democracy that works for everyone, not just the well-connected and wealthy.

In times of social media blackouts, the corporations are part of this cultural hegemony by selling their integrity and responsibility of democratic ideals for money and power.

As we pass the end of January, we remember Antonio Gramsci, a socialist revolutionary that spurred the understanding of cultural and political significance of mass media. The cultural hegemony that this administration is trying to achieve undermines our society’s growth and understanding.

The city and state needs to do everything in their power, including using their law enforcement powers, to get ICE out of Minneapolis now! The ICE agents involved in this or any other crimes need to be prosecuted immediately.

Albuquerque DSA stands with the people of Minneapolis in the face of ICE repression. The Trump administration has pushed racist demonization of the immigrant community, and the continued ICE presence has resulted in the murder of an unarmed woman supporting her community as a legal observer.

Join us tomorrow for our December movie night and clothing drive! Meet us at 6:30 PM at the Artist Factory on 1810 Broadway. Bring any warm clothes, sleeping bags, or backpacks to help those in need stay safe over the winter!

Respaldamos a la representante Chavez al llamado de las agencias policiacas, incluyendo a la policía de Farmington que cese la cooperación con ICE.

ABQ DSA está orgulloso de respaldar a la representante Chavez en su crítica de ICE. ICE está fuera de control, raptando miembros de la comunidad en camas de hospitales y aterrorizando familias en escuelas públicas, trabajos, y casas. ICE no se debe reformar y debe ser abolido.

We back Rep. Chavez’s call for all law enforcement agencies, including the Farmington Police Department, cease cooperation with ICE.

Albuquerque DSA is proud to have endorsed Rep. Chavez and we stand by her criticisms of ICE. ICE has been out of control, kidnapping community members from hospital beds and terrorizing families in their schools, workplaces, and homes. ICE is beyond reformation and must be abolished.

No Spanish in Santa Fe? What a terrible idea The notion that a caller would leave a message demanding City Councilor Alma Castro stop speaking Spanish at city meetings would be laughable if the current times weren’t so contentious.

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.

If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.

It's just a question of political will.

This Labor Day, Albuquerque DSA proudly stood alongside labor and community groups in our opposition to Trump's pro billionaire, anti worker agenda! Only an organized movement of the working class can stop fascism.

Join us this weekend for our monthly chapter social! We'll be meeting at Green Jeans Food Hall at 5 PM, September 6th.
