My statement re: today’s Doña Ana County commission meeting. I am calling on the Doña Ana County Commission to drop any and all charges against those currently being booked, and restore meaningful public comment to every meeting related to Project Jupiter from here on out.

🚨 Call to Action🚨 City of Las Cruces is considering allowing border patrol to build new facility near an elementary school here in LC. Please follow this call to action from Councilor Johana Bencomo. If we can’t stop it from being built, we’re urging that it be built somewhere more remote.

Proud to stand w/NMSU students today who are demanding that my alma mater, live up to its promise as an HSI/Land Grant uni. These students are our legacy: first generation, children of immigrants, Black and Brown students, who chose New Mexico State, because they believed it would protect them.

7,155 New Mexicans demanded to be heard and NMED is now recommending a public hearing on the Project Jupiter air quality permits!! This is what organizing looks like, y’all 💪🏽 But we’re not done. A hearing recommendation is not a hearing, and a hearing is not a denial of permits.

Although it’s the first week of the legislative session, I’ll be heading home to Las Cruces this weekend, and organizing a ride on Saturday at 2p. Hope you can join! Let’s not forget what brings us joy in the midst of so much despair: community and bikes ✌🏼
Invite for a bike ride on Saturday

PPP by Beachhouse is the last thing I needed to hear before I left my beloved casita. 😭😭 Here’s two months of packing for a legislative session in Santa Fe. Leaving Las Cruces is always so hard. But here we go.
Car full of stuff.

Catching up on #cyclocross races (ESP women’s) every night this holiday season, has been the highlight of my break. Gonna miss this routine. And holy heck, that slop today. 😅

As I sit down to write my latest post for the Rubio Dispatch, I found this during my trip home to Lake Arthur this weekend. I was legit! 😅 (phone number no longer valid)

Yep! Hopefully this upcoming session is finally the year we pass it! The senate is what’s holding us up. Call your senators.

Made it home to Lake Arthur for the first time in a minute. Spending time with my sister, Rosy, and my parents, this time around, was a nourishing one. 🙏🏼

Woke up in a hotel room in Artesia, New Mexico, to the smell of the oil refinery just down the street—which once had such a bad rap, that the town would later market it as the “sweet smell of success.” In all the years I grew up near here, this is my first time waking up with a sweet ass headache.

Lead a group ride today, to re-group post election. Moral of the story: don’t let these fools take away our joy. Find your people. Be hard on systems, and soft on our neighbors (last line borrowed from Linda Sarsour 🫶🏼)

👋🏼 TY all for following! I’m Angelica from Las Cruces, born/raised in beautiful NM, to Mexican immigrant parents who instilled in me a love for community. I find that in my biking, as well as in the constituents I’ve had the privilege of serving the last 8yrs. Hope to find it here too ✌🏼
