Right to Know Pledge

Protect Your Right to Know

Join the Fight for Government Transparency in New Mexico

At the Southwest Public Policy Institute (SPPI), we believe that transparency is the cornerstone of a free and just society. Without it, we cannot hold our leaders accountable, ensure ethical governance, or safeguard our rights. In New Mexico, too many decisions that affect our daily lives are made behind closed doors—hidden from the public eye.

We need your help to change that.

By signing the “Right to Know” pledge, you are standing up for your right to know what your government is doing. You are taking a stand against secrecy, corruption, and the abuse of power. You are demanding open meetings, accessible public records, and accountability from our leaders.

What We’re Fighting For:

  • Open Meetings: Public officials must conduct business in the open. No more secret meetings or closed-door deals that impact our communities.
  • Access to Public Records: Government agencies must comply with public records laws and provide timely, accurate information about their actions and spending.
  • Whistleblower Protection: Those who speak out against corruption and unethical behavior should be protected, not punished.
  • Accountability and Oversight: Our elected officials and public servants should answer to the people they serve, not to special interests or political agendas.

Our Track Record:

SPPI has a proven track record of fighting for transparency and the people’s right to know in New Mexico:

  • We have challenged unlawful closed-door meetings and forced local officials to comply with the Open Meetings Act.
  • We’ve taken government agencies to court to demand access to public records when they refused to provide information.
  • We’ve stood up for whistleblowers and exposed corruption within public institutions.

But we can’t do it alone. Our work depends on the support of citizens like you who believe in the power of an informed and engaged public.
