Our Position on Hamas-Israeli War
We call for a cease fire
Indivisible Albuquerque has joined the global community in expressing our horror and grief at the loss of over 1,400 Israelis, Americans, and foreign citizens in Hamas’ horrific attacks on October 7, and echoed calls for all hostages to be released immediately.
To be clear: we condemn Hamas for it's attack on Israel. Also, we do not tolerate any anti semitism.
However, since the attack, the humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated catastrophically with Israel’s ongoing bombardment and blockade of life-sustaining supplies like water, food, medicine, and power. The death toll continues to rise by the hour.
More than 10,000 are confirmed to have been killed in Gaza, with nearly half being children. More than 6,000 children have been injured in Gaza since the crisis began. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are now internally displaced.
This is an international crisis with a mounting death toll on the road to further escalation. The risks of the crisis expanding regionally grow by the hour. We are horrified by the situation and heartbroken at the human cost.
We call for a ceasefire on both sides, the release of all hostages and to stop all hostilities against civilians. All nations should cease the transportation and sale of weapons to either side of this conflict immediately.

Important Lawsuit to Follow
Additional Information
At the meeting on July 3, 2023, we heard about a lawsuit filed on May 10, 2023.
See the website here - information below was taken from that site.
The Pollution Control Clause of the New Mexico Constitution (Art XX. Sec. 21), adopted in 1971:
The protection of the state's beautiful and healthful environment is hereby declared to be of fundamental importance to the public interest, health, safety and the general welfare. The legislature shall provide for control of pollution and control of despoilment of the air, water, and other natural resources of this state, consistent with the use and development of these resources for the maximum benefit of the people.
The pollution-control clause of the New Mexico Constitution was adopted more than 50 years ago. But since then the legislature has failed to put in place laws and programs to control pollution from oil and gas and has even exempted industry from key environmental-protection statutes. Putting polluters over people, it gives oil and gas a free pass to contaminate land, air and water, and damage Indigenous ancestral landscapes. By authorizing oil and gas extraction without adequate pollution controls, the state is violating its own Constitution.
- The state is violating its duty to protect our beautiful and healthful environment and protect our air, water and other natural resources from despoilment.
- The state is violating the fundamental constitutional rights to, life, liberty, property, safety and happiness, as well as equal treatment of frontline, youth, and Indigenous communities who are disproportionately harmed.
