We Listened! Thank you to the many who responded to our Supporter Survey. You told us you want to hear more about the working details of a Public Bank of New Mexico and the populations it would serve. We heard you! Please sign up to attend one of three Alliance Webinars on Zoom available to everyone.

AFLEP continues to be a voice for investment in New Mexico community and rural development. The needs are great and we can do better. Let’s take risks and think more creatively, encourage innovation and determine how to expand New Mexico’s financial capacity to make more investments than are currently possible. More focus on desired outcomes; collaboration of nonprofit advocacy groups, state departments, even private investors, and, ideally, a public bank; and more attention to equity in that financing are needed.

Each webinar will use a geographic area of New Mexico as an example of how the Public Bank will benefit our communities. Please sign up for the webinar of your choice. Registration is required. Sign up here.
