WELCOME

The New Mexico chapter of SCLC was re-activated in March, 2008. We strive to be a voice for the lost, the least and the left out. We believe in bringing about equality for all people and this is a continuing goal of our organization today. We are working to make a contribution towards a solution to the problems of racism and discrimination in our communities. We are working to ensure that all people have a right to obtain employment to support their families, that our laws are fair and carried out to protect all people that young men are given opportunities instead of being placed on the “jail trail” and that health disparities statewide are recognized and obliterated by increasing communities’ access to healthcare services.

Our national organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), was started by the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1957 and has always included eradicating classism and racism wherever it exists. The organization also works to ensure economic justice and civil rights in the areas of discrimination and affirmative action.

Our amazing team of regulars and part-time volunteers are committed to helping others. We take our convictions and turn them into action. Think you would be a good fit? Get in touch for more information!
