New Mexico Association of Community Partners continues to observe federal and state guidelines for personal and public safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. By sharing relevant and timely information, we hope to spread awareness, encourage engagement, and facilitate community support for the important work of our member agencies as they serve New Mexico’s most vulnerable citizens as safely and effectively as possible.
Additionally, we’ve been tracking the Black Lives Matter movement closely, listening to its leaders, our colleagues, and the experiences of our collective networks. We support our employees’ and member agencies’ individual activism and efforts within this movement. We are taking all necessary steps to ensure that our CAA network embodies a diverse, empowered, and inclusive culture among agency staff and with regards to the most New Mexicans we serve. We know it’s not enough to release a statement, so we are continuing to listen, educate ourselves, unlearn, and take action.
