November 29th is Giving Tuesday – a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season.  It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support non-profit organizations like Health Action New Mexico.

Today we invite you to pause and consider supporting Health Action New Mexico on the kickoff of Giving Tuesday as we work to protect essential health programs.

Please donate to Health Action New Mexico to support our work.

A local non-profit like Health Action New Mexico relies on small donors to be successful in advancing our mission. Over the past year, with the help of small donors, we have worked with the Office of Border Health to improve health and health care access in small border communities and colonias; helped sign up thousands of working families for health coverage; reached an agreement with dental care professionals, including dentists, to license dental therapists in New Mexico; and worked on a number of consumer health policy priorities. This year, we’re shifting our focus to reigning in prescription drug prices, advancing a dental care access bill, and maintaining the integrity of Medicare, Medicaid, and the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange.

Our outreach and enrollment funding has been cut by 80 percent, even as the recent national election has made this work more important than ever. With your help, we can continue to work in communities throughout New Mexico not only to connect them with the health care they need, but to ensure their voices are heard as changes at the national level are considered.

With your help we know we can continue our mission of health care for all people in New Mexico. Please share this link via email or on social media with the hashtag #GivingTuesday to spread the word. You can also support our GoFundMe campaign here
