In this episode, Sofia is joined by Zoey Craft from YUCCA, Alicia Gallegos from Pueblo Action Alliance, and Alejandria Lyons with New Mexico No False Solutions. We discuss the NM No False Solutions coalition and our fight against false climate solutions. We discuss Blackstone, an investment company that is attempting to acquire PNM, one of the major electric utilities serving New Mexicans. As the coalition and the broader climate justice community prepare for New York Climate Week 2025, this conversation is essential for listeners in New Mexico who pay for electricity, as well as movement leaders across the world. How does our fight against Blackstone intersect with other fights against the fossil fuel industry and Wall Street billionaires? What does justice really look like for our communities? We share our vision for a just transition leading into climate week.
