You spoke up for us, and stood with us, and reminded us why and what we're fighting for, even when things are darkest.
We have a long road ahead. We've suffered professionally & personally. And serious threats to public lands remain.
But we're not alone. And for that, we are thankful. #altfam

But we found a path back out. We found solace in nature and community. We are guiding ourselves and bringing others along.
And as we turned the corner, we found hope. Because all of you stepped up, too.

You may be looking at us and asking yourself what WE'RE thankful for this year.
Fair question, given *waves arms at everything going on*
It's been a tough year. The walls have been closing in as federal employees & public land lovers cling to the cliff side. This was not the journey we wanted.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

The stock market's gains are being overwhelmingly driven by seven Big Tech companies who have invested heavily in AI, which has made tech oligarchs even wealthier.
But when that AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag.

Santa Fe is now the first city to tie the minimum wage to the cost of rent.
The Santa Fe City Council voted to raise its minimum wage from $15/hr to $17.50 by 2027 — but they also added another provision.
Future increases will factor in inflation, and the price of housing.

The science is clear - SNAP reduces food insecurity, improves health outcomes, and lower healthcare costs.
Although fed judges ruled the admin can NOT withhold SNAP disbursements, it appears they plan to do just that.
