Think New Mexico |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $20,000 |
Think New Mexico's work will focus on addressing multiple serious problems facing the state. First, aiming to improve the state's poor education performance, including student achievement and graduation rates. Second, seeking to improve the state's haphazard and hyper-political process for funding public infrastructure projects, which are not well thought out or fully funded, leaving that memory sitting on the sidelines instead of creating jobs. Third, working to prevent special interest lobbyists from raiding the lottery scholarship fund. Finally, aiming to prevent the re-imposition of a regressive food tax that would harm families. |

Our goal is to continue providing free basic medical, dental, and vision health care to uninsured individuals and families. There is a huge unmet need for people who have no insurance, and specifically those with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and heart disease. Even though New Mexican people of color make up 58.7% of the population, their health status is worse than that of their white counterparts. VTCC seizes the opportunity and is building upon our capacity to meet these needs. |
