Tiffany Leger’s FULL INTERVIEW
PBS NM This week on New Mexico in Focus, we hone in on the City of Albuquerque’s controversial new “Enhanced Services and Safety Zone Ordinance,” more commonly known as the “sidewalk law.” Tiffany Leger, founder of the Albuquerque Homeless Union, tells Host Nash Jones it’s just another way to criminalize and punish unhoused people. Then, Nash sits between City Councilor Joaquín Baca, who sponsored the measure, and the New Mexico Stronger Together Coalition’s Lisa Christopherson, who opposes it, for a debate over the law’s merits and intentions — and whether it’s the right tool to address the city’s chronic homelessness.
How we work.
Dive deeper into NMSTC: the work we do and the community we share it with.
Partnerships & Allies.
We know that lasting systemic change cannot be achieved in isolation. The New Mexico Stronger Together Coalition actively collaborates with local grassroots organizations, advocacy groups, and community leaders across the state to amplify our collective voice and build a united front for equity and justice.
Legislative Advocacy.
We engage directly with legislators, government officials, city councilors, and county commissions to advance policy goals. Our work includes advocacy, consulting, and mediating between partners to build alignment and drive outcomes.
Knowledge is power. We equip community members, advocates, and organizers with the clear, accessible information needed to understand complex issues, track policy changes, and make informed decisions at the ballot box. We utilize partnerships, voter guides, legislation trackers, fact sheets, and one-pagers to inform the community.
Organize Community.
Real change begins when neighbors stand together. We mobilize communities across New Mexico through direct action and grassroots organizing, public meetings, protests, and marches to ensure everyday people have the platform, tools, and solidarity needed to fight for a fairer future.
Calls to Action.
We believe true, lasting change is built from the ground up by the community members. A more equitable New Mexico is shaped by involvement in core initiatives, including grassroots campaigns, petitions, mobilization, and direct action.
Press Releases/Media.
We keep the public and our partners informed with credible, timely updates on the issues that matter most. Explore our official statements, press releases, and coverage of our joint advocacy efforts.
