New Mexico’s Environment Department (NMED) has proposed a statewide workplace heat standard — a major step forward in safeguarding worker health and safety in a rapidly warming climate. However, opposition is already strong and well-organized.
NMED needs to hear directly from educators about why this rule matters — and why heat standards matter for our schools and students.
A 60-day public comment period is now open (April 1st–May 30th), and this is our key window to make sure educator voices are front and center.
