Voices from New Mexico’s IPV/DV Providers
A Call to Fully Fund Lifesaving Services
Across New Mexico, domestic violence and intimate partner violence (IPV/DV) service providers are on the frontlines every day—answering crisis calls, housing families fleeing violence, advocating in court, supporting children, and connecting survivors to legal, financial, and emotional resources. These services are not optional—they are lifesaving. Yet today, too many of these critical programs are stretched beyond capacity due to chronic underfunding.

Survivor safety reflects who we are as New Mexicans—people who choose dignity over neglect and collective responsibility over silence. Investing in safety strengthens families, communities, and futures.
