niecytaylor.bsky.social @niecytaylor.bsky.social · 15/03/2025Lawyers are really smart AND non-legal practitioners that do the work in a daily basis at the micro level really do know where the gaps in policy show up in practice. Lawyers really need to listen. 000

niecytaylor.bsky.social @niecytaylor.bsky.social · 04/03/2025I’ve been separating my personal & professional life on my social media more & more. Because I am who I am in every area of my life, I used to think people would see who I really am. What I’ve learned is those who are committed to seeing you differently are committed to that version of you. 100
niecytaylor.bsky.social @niecytaylor.bsky.social · 23/02/2025It’s incredible to me the way people will avoid not responding to you in professional settings when you are coming from a place of reason, fact, & sound decision making. The fact that they run state agencies & don’t view their role as public service makes it more astounding. 200

niecytaylor.bsky.social @niecytaylor.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Im actually angry right now for being treated like all we do is ask for more. Like we haven’t ignored sa in our communities since for ever. As if its legacy doesn’t still last. As if, before 3 years ago, we weren’t woefully underfunded & still have much ground to make up. 010
niecytaylor.bsky.social @niecytaylor.bsky.social · 01/02/2025It feels like we’re gettting the “yeah…yeah….we said sexual assault last year. What more do you want”. Survivors deserve ongoing investment. You want more data? We did the most comprehensive victimization survey in NM which showed 1.1m New Mexicans have been impacted by sa. 210
niecytaylor.bsky.social @niecytaylor.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Today feels like March 2020. So much news, so fast. 000
niecytaylor.bsky.social @niecytaylor.bsky.social · 31/01/2025I should be in Santa Fe having the conversations about the impt of state dollars for SA prevention and services. Instead I’ve spent nearly 3 full days managing whether we & our programs can access our federal funding. 010
niecytaylor.bsky.social @niecytaylor.bsky.social · 29/01/2025Today was exhausting. I don’t only hold the wellbeing of our 30 staff members as my responsibility, but the 100s of advocates, nurses, therapists, & staff at all of our programs across the state. Such unnecessary chaos & disruption. 010

niecytaylor.bsky.social @niecytaylor.bsky.social · 26/01/2025I think my role in young people’s lives right now is to ask them their plans after high school. Several have told me they don’t have one. I tell them what a benefit it is to be in NM & have access to free college & to not waste that oppty. Cmty college is a great choice to get those early credits. 110

niecytaylor.bsky.social @niecytaylor.bsky.social · 18/01/2025I’ll talk about this on my IG stories sometime before Tuesday, but I wanted to explain a bit more what is happening with funding for sexual assault services to support survivors. 121
niecytaylor.bsky.social @niecytaylor.bsky.social · 16/01/2025LFC released their recommendations & it’s not good news - no new funding recommended for sexual assault services. We just released data showing half of people in NM have experienced SA but LFC recommends no new state funding. 010
niecytaylor.bsky.social @niecytaylor.bsky.social · 16/01/2025The new GRO funds from last legislative session are going to prove to be an issue. They were supposed to be for 2 years, which meant the amount was really only 1/2 of what was appropriated. 100
