Since 2017, rent has increased 70% in New Mexico. New Mexico is one of 37 states that bans rent control. That means, it is illegal for local communities to democratically enact any regulations on rent. Thousands of New Mexicans are being driven into homelessness. It is urgent to overturn the ban on rent control!

Housing should be a guaranteed right! We must put people over profit!

Defend tipped worker wages!! No wage cuts!!!

Albuquerque City Council is considering decreasing the minimum wage for tipped workers from its current $7.20 per hour to $3.00. The change was proposed by Councilor Renee Grout.
This proposal was added to an amendment originally proposed by Councilor Nichole Rogers to increase the current city minimum wage.
Councilor Grout is quoted by the Albuquerque Journal saying. “We need to be business-friendly, and we need to be encouraging.”
While Grout recently announced plans to withdraw the measure, telling KRQE News that this is "to allow more time for public feedback," the bill is not off the table yet, so we must continue to voice our opposition.
Our question is, does being "business friendly" have to come out of pockets of working people?
Tipped employees are often the parents and families of students our educators serve every day. Our city council should be focusing on helping working families get ahead instead of seeking ways to take money out of their pockets in the name of being "business-friendly."
The ATF and our coalition partners stand in full support of working people across the spectrum and oppose taking money away from working families who are already struggling with high costs of living.
We call on our union siblings across the city to voice their support for working people and oppose this pay cut for tipped workers.
