For many Indigenous communities, stewardship is not just an idea.

It is responsibility.

Land and water are not disposable.

Many New Mexicans believe decisions involving radioactive waste should respect future generations, cultural relationships to land, and long-term environmental protection.

This conversation affects all of us.

Some people wonder: “Do public comments actually matter?”

Yes.

Public comments become part of the official process and help show the level of community concern, support, or opposition around major decisions.

History shows organized public participation can create pressure for stronger oversight and accountability.

Do not assume someone else will speak for you.

The decisions being made today could impact New Mexico for generations.

Long after we are gone, future generations may still be dealing with the consequences of radioactive waste decisions being made right now.

This is about more than one facility.

It is about:

Our land
Our water
Our communities
Our responsibility to the future

Future generations deserve thoughtful oversight, transparency, and accountability.
