Join us in sending THANK YOU to Susan in Lamy, Lizza in Tijeras, Don in Las Cruces, and Joe, Robert and Margie in ABQ. Those new donors and our sponsors powered our newsroom and this newsletter today. We’re rebuilding local reporting for New Mexico from the ground up. Haven’t donated in a while? Donate $5 $10 or $25 today.


It’s Wednesday, June 25, 2025.

We’re updating our newsletters and websites to make room for some new voices and more information (we can’t wait to show you next week!)

In the meantime, some readers who are used to receiving their local newsletter are getting this statewide edition instead. You can still find your local stories (and maybe a fun new one from a community next door) below.

Thanks for helping us rebuild local newsrooms one story at a time.
