Organizers in the Land of Enchantment
We are a non-profit, who uses grassroots organizing within the local community of working families in New Mexico. Our members and staff work together to strengthen our communities through social advocacy and economic reform, using issue-based campaigns and electoral engagement to ensure that working families are playing a critical role in shaping New Mexico’s future with a united voice.
Issues we are currently working on:
- Democracy Dollars – ABQ Democracy Dollars AKA Burque Bucks is a ballot initiative that will help to modernize the city’s current public financing program because they will ensure that participating candidates from all parts of the city can run competitive campaigns based on the strength of their local support, not the size of campaign contribution checks.
- Healthy Workforce ABQ – ballot initiative that will guarantee earned sick days for every worker in Albuquerque.
- Worker’s Rights – Every day OLÉ fights to help New Mexico’s workers win respect, living wages, benefits, and enforcement of worker protections.
- Early Education – OLÉ members work to expand access to early education for every child in New Mexico.
- Citizenship/ESL – OLÉ Members who are permanent residents and ready to apply for citizenship have access to assistance in completing their application, access to a lawyer who reviews all the paperwork and classes to prepare for their exam.
