Safety Over Profit Petition
I believe New Mexico laws should support our community by prioritizing the health, safety, and well-being of our families over corporate power and greed, while protecting the freedoms of every New Mexican and holding wrongdoers accountable.
I urge New Mexico public officials to safeguard the freedoms of all New Mexicans to be safe in the workplace, receive fair compensation for their work, access safe and effective learning environments for students, choose where they live, access quality healthcare, and uphold justice by:
- Standing up to the powerful insurance industry and their lobbyists who prioritize
profits over safety;
- Opposing legislation that restricts the freedom to hold corporate bad actors fully accountable in a civil court of law, allowing local juries to deliver justice free from political mandates;
- Preventing entrenched institutions from manipulating statute-of-limitations rules to evade accountability for harming New Mexicans;
- Protecting residents from large, out-of-state corporations that exploit loopholes in New Mexico’s personal jurisdiction policies to avoid accountability by local juries
for harm caused to New Mexicans;
- Defending New Mexicans from big tech companies and Silicon Valley billionaires who endanger lives on our highways by testing driverless vehicle technology without accepting responsibility for the risks their experiments pose; and
- Supporting New Mexico nurses, doctors, healthcare technicians, and other healthcare professionals by ensuring corporate healthcare entities do not understaff care facilities to maximize profits at the expense of both healthcare
workers and patient safety.
