Angela Merkert’s professional background includes tenure as a university professor in education; leadership and organizational development in the corporate world; and executive director roles in nonprofit organizations for 15 years. Throughout her career, her passion has focused on enacting change that strengthens our democracy through social and economic justice; affirming dignity and respect for every person; and increasing access to and engagement with, quality education for children, especially early childhood programs.
Melissa Pickett is a former banker, organizational development consultant, health and wellness advocate. As a native New Mexican, she has a long view of the challenges we face and sees the potential for our State.
After a career in organizational consulting, Elaine Sullivan came to public banking as a volunteer advocate for social and economic justice. Keeping our public dollars local, circulating in our communities in support of small businesses, infrastructure, clean energy, education and other New Mexico priorities, rather than our public dollars going to Wall Street, is a critical path to achieving that justice for all New Mexicans.
A Public Bank for New Mexico will support infrastructure, agricultural, social and economic initiatives and contributes to a livable, resilient economy. Our taxes and fees, deposited in our public bank, can then be invested by professional bankers, in partnership with community banks and credit unions, to support our local priorities. The mission of a public bank is to take back our money from Wall Street and do good things here at home for all our residents.

NM Healthy Soil Working Group Presents Soil Stories: Online Conversations on Soil Health
Our guests will start with a short presentation, followed by conversation with participants. Join us with your questions and comments!
Donne Gonzales is a 25 year old resident of Chamisal. Growing up on the land, her family has always maintained summer gardens and small livestock, and this has developed in her a great respect and love for gardening and traditional practices. When she was 19, and undecided about what to do with her future, she applied to be an American Friends Service Committee farm trainee. During the second year, she became a trainer, and in her third year, the Farmer Trainer program transitioned from AFSC to the New Mexico Acequia Association (NMAA), and she was given the opportunity to be the main Farm Trainer for the Los Sembradores Farmer Training program. Donne is now leading the fourth year of NMAA farm apprentices, and all together, has already graduated 15 other young farmers who have gained a strong connection to the land. Donne speaks proudly of how rich we truly are to have sacred land, water, and native seeds – and acequias and farming as a way of life. She believes strongly in sharing gardening skills, traditions, and her querencia for the land and acequias to individuals of all ages.
Emily Arasim is a young farmer and organizer, born and raised along the Acequia Madre de Tesuque. She is dedicated to learning from the land and fellow community members, and working with respect and accountability to protect traditional seeds, farming, and water stewardship practices in Northern New Mexico. Emily currently works as part of the New Mexico Acequia Association youth education team, developing curriculum and giving presentations about the importance of community waters and farming to children in classrooms and youth programs around the state. She farms with her elder mentors in Nambe and Tesuque, and nurtures collaborative projects with other young traditional farmers and seed caretakers. She previously spent five years as Communications Coordinator for the Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network, and believes that farming is one of the most important ways to address the intertwined social and ecological crisis we face.

Ellen Brown’s
2019 Book
Today most of our money is created, not by governments, but by banks when they make loans. This book takes the reader step by step through the sausage factory of modern money creation, explores improvements made possible by advances in digital technology, and proposes upgrades that could transform our outmoded nineteenth century system into one that is democratic, sustainable, and serves the needs of the twenty-first century.

“I had the good fortune to work on this initiative before Bernie kidnapped all my time. This is one of those no-brainer initiatives that only the 1% could oppose. It has the potential to save the state millions of dollars by vastly reducing the cost of its bonds to improve infrastructure funding. in a public bank, our state funds can be used to build our local economy and our local infrastructure.”
– Paul Gibson
