“Last year during the New Mexico legislative session, Indigenous Lifeways served as expert witness to the Respect New Mexico Women and Families Act—which successfully passed and was signed by our governor. Through our collective efforts, we ensured access to safe and legal abortion for New Mexico communities.

“For far too long, Indigenous people have been left out of the reproductive justice conversations and placed on the sidelines. Reproductive justice is within our traditional ways of life. With the passage of the act, we are able to have deeper conversations with our communities about our history and traditional knowledge and bring a larger awareness to reproductive issues that affect Indigenous people
