As we head into a long December, queer and trans New Mexicans and our allies are processing how we came together in 2024 and gearing up for a fight in 2025. Ideally, a time like this would be filled with hope, but we sadly know that the year ahead promises to threaten our community—as well as many others. Next week many deserving advocacy groups, including EQNM, will begin conducting year-end fundraising outreach on Giving Tuesday. For those who are able to contribute to the LGBTQ movement financially, this is an opportunity to help fuel our work in this next chapter.
Last week, we shared our 2024 impact report with the EQNM community. We were able to accomplish so much with your support: re-establishing the NM LGBTQ Roundtable, hosting a statewide summit and 12 pride events, launching the T.R.A.N.S. NM Project to establish research on statewide attitudes (people are mostly supportive!), gaining 700 members, expanding our staff, and focusing on outreach to rural areas and youth. We plan to come at 2025 with the same level of rigor as we seek to protect and expand our existing rights.
Every donation we receive (including the small ones!) helps to build coalitions, reach elected officials, and mobilize communities on the issues we care about.
To be part of the momentum, we recommend choosing one of these three ways to contribute:
ONE-TIME DONATIONS: These gifts jump-start our activism and help us prepare for the upcoming legislative session in January.
MONTHLY DONATIONS: These recurring gifts provide guaranteed income that help us prepare for challenges throughout the year.
PLANNED GIFTS: It’s also possible to donate through a will or bequest, which can guarantee the movement for years to come. You can make a planned gift to EQNM on FreeWill.org.
We are grateful for your consideration. Please visit goeqnm.org/2024EOY to make your donations.
