Hearing on Proposed  Advanced Clean Vehicle Standards Coming Soon!

/in , , /by
We are just a few weeks out from the November 13-15 hearings in which the Environmental Improvement Board and Albuquerque Bernalillo Air Quality Board will decide whether or not to adopt the proposed Advanced Clean Vehicle Standards.  Note The hearings go until the 15th but there are no public comment opportunities on that final day.

At NM IPL we have been working closely with other environmental and public health groups to organize around supporting these standards. The big push and most important advocacy ask we have of you right now is this: provide public comment in support of adopting these standards. Comments can be written, given in-person, or virtually. All details provided below.

Opposition to these proposed standards is growing and we expect voices of misinformation and oil and gas interests to be loud at these hearings. We need faith folks to uplift the moral imperative of moving forward on action for climate and for health of our sacred communities.

 What? Advanced Clean Vehicle Standards, joint hearings with Environmental Improvement Board and Albuquerque Bernalillo Air Quality Board

Where? NM State Bar 521 Masthead St. NE, ABQ 87109 AND virtually

Written public comment can be submitted here. The sooner the better for sending in written comment, in order to ensure that it is considered by the EIB and ABAQB boards. Written comments will be accepted until November 15th but we strongly recommend they be submitted by Nov 13th to ensure they are considered.
