What is it like to live with New Mexico’s Permian Basin Climate Bomb, major home to NM’s oil industry? While climate goals require a 40% decline in oil and gas consumption globally over the course of the next decade, oil production in the Permian Basin is expected to grow 50%.Join us to hear community organizer, Kayley Shoup discuss her work fighting for people suffering at the frontlines of the US’s sacrifice zone for “energy independence” and how she became an activist growing up in the dominant oil and gas culture. Then hear from Tannis Fox, Senior Attorney of the Western Environmental Law Center (WELC) discussing draft legislation for the 2023 session to reform and update the 1935 NM Oil and Gas Act.
Find out what you can do to support managed decline of the fossil fuel industry and uplift the people and life in the Permian.
