Hello Fairness Project Members,



Thank you for your ongoing commitment to improving tax policy in New
Mexico, and making sure that our tax system is fair and equitable for all
New Mexicans. We look forward to working with you all during the coming
legislative session to score many wins for kids and families! In the
meantime, we wanted to take this opportunity to pass along some of our
latest materials for tax and budget advocacy.



·         Last week, *Amber and Paige presented to the Revenue
Stabilization and Tax Policy* *Committee* and made a great case for a more
equitable tax system. You can find that presentation here
<https://nmlegis.gov/handouts/RSTP%20121520%20Item%206%20NM%20Voices%20Presentation.pdf>.


·         You can read *our* *latest report, Tax Policy: A Powerful Tool to
Advance Racial Equity in New Mexico*, which advocates for better and more
equitable tax policy in NM here <https://www.nmvoices.org/archives/14895>.

Mexican*. Be sure to check it out

start of the legislative session*. If you’re interested in attending,
please *hold January 7th at 11am* for this training, and look out for a
calendar invite from us soon.



Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions you may have about

of good food and good rest before we dive into the busyness of the coming
year.




Best,
