Important meetings September 5th and 7th. Please attend

We are currently exploring ways to Appeal and/Repeal any decision that Commissioners make on this Ordinance. Look for our post on Petition Campaign to Repeal ordnance. Our region needs a progressive regional solution, not the same neoliberal planning ideologies like we are witnessing in Houston that the Oil industry was allowed unfettered deregulation and now has poisoned the groundwater forever in the region.

Common Ground Rising has filed a complaint with the Office of the Attorney General on Record and Open Meetings Act violations. We will be holding a community meeting soon for Sandoval County Residents to explore our options to Appeal and or Repeal the county's Decision.

Please contact us if you can help with Phone calls and Phone Tree to get out the vote on a Ballot Initiative to overturn Commissioners ordinance decision for a moratorium. The Ballot Initiative Group (BIG) idea to take back our democracy would like door-to- door canvassers to sign up voters to support a special election per precinct. We are looking for 60 volunteers. Please help our democracy is at stake.
