The New Mexico Environmental Law Center fights to protect New Mexico’s communities and their water, land and air from degradation by irresponsible development and industrial pollution. Our small staff of attorneys represent client communities through litigation in court and in rule-making proceedings. Our clients primarily reside in low-income communities and/or communities of color, which often bear the brunt of environmental degradation from industry and development. We charge little to no fees to address our clients’ concerns for their health and wellbeing, giving residents of environmental justice communities a voice in technical and legal proceedings that directly affect their communities. The Law Center is the only nonprofit law firm in New Mexico that specializes in environmental justice. Our support comes from foundations, individuals, and local businesses that share our values of a clean and healthy environment for all New Mexicans.
New Mexico Environmental Law Center's mission is to protect New Mexico's communities and their air, land, and water in the fight for environmental justice.
