On Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at 6:00 p.m., Reboot Our Democracy launched its 2025 Legislative Preview Zoomfest. And we are proud to say we are at the top of the list. Angela Merkert, our Executive Director, went into detail on the many benefits for a state public bank.
Community wealth building requires capital. New Mexico’s investments have focused largely on recruiting mid- and large-size businesses to the state.

The Alliance for Local Economic Prosperity (AFLEP) advocates to keep NM revenue safe, local and working for all New Mexicans.
