Socorro County is fighting for its future and we need your help!!

New Mexico Tech is considering a deal with Jason Bak/Green Data to build a 2GW data center and industrial solar array behind M Mountain! Our aquifer, our acequias, our dark skies, our environment, our community’s cherished landscape, and so much more, are at risk! We are stewards of this land today, but what we do to with it will be handed down for generations to come. More than 4,000 people have already signed the Change.org petition demanding transparency, environmental protection, and responsible stewardship, but the fight now requires legal support to protect Socorro County from irreversible harm.

We are raising funds to secure independent legal counsel to challenge this project, and hold NMT and Green Data accountable to the laws and public processes meant to protect our home. Without legal representation, the community is at a severe disadvantage against a private developer and a university administration considering a dangerous project for the chance to make millions in rent on the land and risk the water we all need to survive!

Your contribution, whether $5 or $100, directly supports:

Socorro County deserves a voice. Our water, our land, and our quality of life are not bargaining chips for profit! Together, we can protect Socorro County and ensure that decisions about our home are made transparently, responsibly, and with our community at the helm.

Thank you for standing with us.
