| Client Note 1 | Client Note 1 - FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS - CONTINUEDLos Sembradores and Farmer/Rancher Outreach (continued)After the completion of the program, each of the three have continued their farming activities including, for example, establishment of an orchard, growing a family garden, and working at a higher education institution in a sustainable agriculture program. The project also included educational opportunities for the general public including three on-site workshops on the following topics: Soil Health as Drought Resilience, How to make Compost, and High Tunnel Building each with 15 participants. NMAA also hosted a statewide workshop, entitled Protecting Farmland and Water Rights: Tools for Land Restoration, which had 118 participants. The statewide workshop included informative presentations on cover cropping, composting, and a demonstration on drip irrigation. Policy Advocacy, Leadership Development, and Community EngagementNMAA holds cultural events and gatherings that convene our members and supporters, we provided focused leadership development opportunities, and we engage our members in a process of engagement in public policy. Of the major events of the year that draw the most people, the first is Acequia Day (250+ participants) at the State Capitol, which draws people from around the state for an action demonstrating support for the NMAA policy agenda. The second is Owingeh Ta, which also draws over 250 participants (mentioned above), and the annual Congreso de las Acequias, our membership meeting which in 2018 was attended by over 300 participants. NMAA engages members and supporters by identifying issues of importance to acequias statewide through our various workshops and meetings, working with acequia leadership and policymakers in issue analysis, and developing policy recommendations that are supported by our statewide membership.In 2018, NMAA held a Legislative training with 26 participants using role-plays to teach about the legislative process. The training also included acequia history, water rights, water policy in New Mexico, and the legislative process. As follow up training, we engaged our members in the legislative process through attendance of legislative hearings. NMAA staff gave three presentations on acequias and water policy to legislative committees, Water and Natural Resources Legislative Interim committee and the Land Grant committee. NMAA, through the our Acequia Policy Working Group, developed resolutions with policy positions on federal, state, and local policy that provided a basis for the policy agenda in 2018 and the following years 2019 and 2020. During the 2018 legislative session, NMAA provided bill analysis and testimony on legislation that would have an impact on acequias and advocated for water policy that protects acequias, protects due process in water right applications, and addresses the unique needs of acequias as political subdivisions of the state. NMAA also advocated for long-term, recurring funding for acequia infrastructure projects. With the NM Food and Seed Sovereignty Alliance, which includes Tewa Women United, Honor Our Pueblo Existence, Traditional Native American Farmers Association, Agriculture Implementation Research and Education, Flowering Tree Permaculture Institute, led an effort to defeat a bill that would have pre-empted local seed regulations in the 2018 legislative session.The NMAA also worked to strengthen leadership and participation of our members through our program for leadership development, Escuelita de las Acequias, Congreso de las Acequias regional delegations, and leadership caucuses. NMAA convened a cohort of leaders through Escuelita de las Acequias, one of our leadership development initiatives. We held two sessions involving 26 individuals, most of whom were 40 and under, to engage in relationship building, issue analysis, and service learning. Participants learned methods for conducting one-on-ones and using information for collective analysis of acequia issues. Many of the participants have continued to get involved in leadership opportunities locally and in the NMAA.NMAA also convened three leadership caucuses, Las Comadres (women), El Puente (adults 20-40), and Farmer/Rancher (people who make their living from agriculture). The group developed policy recommendations for NMAA including a youth education initiative. The three caucuses had a total of 30 participants in 2018.One of our long-standing coalitions was revitalized in 2018 because of a recent court victory. Communities for Clean Water, which includes Tewa Women United, Honor Our Pueblo Existence, Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety, Partnership for Earth Spirituality, and Amigos Bravos, led a year long campaign to prepare for a hearing on a groundwater contamination plume. As a result of a win in ongoing litigation, the Environment Department had a long-delayed hearing. Over 100 individuals and groups gave testimony and written comment.The governing body of the NMAA, the Congreso de las Acequias, is the largest acequia network in the state and an important network of rural leaders in New Mexico. NMAA worked on building closer relationships with regional associations by providing technical assistance for capacity building, by strengthening networking and communication between regions, and by strengthening their participation in the Congreso. We worked with regional associations in Taos (54 acequias), San Jose (8 acequias), Pojoaque (30 acequias), Rio Chama (17 acequias), Penasco (14 acequias), and Mora (35 acequias). Each regional association is a distinct membership-based organization. |
