New Mexico · Self-Determination
Asked plainly, nearly half of New Mexico votes to leave the union.
There is no organized movement for New Mexico independence yet. That is exactly what we are here to change.
New Mexicoadults in New Mexico would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 49% of the state.
Even the understated abstract poll counts 310,000 (19%). How we get this number →

New Mexico standoutThe only question that matters
New Mexico is already a nation in all but name.
If New Mexico were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?

New Mexico spent more than three centuries answering to distant capitals before it spent one as a state, first Santa Fe under the Spanish crown, then Mexico City, then Washington in 1912. A place that governed itself as the oldest seat of government on this continent understands the difference between being ruled from far away and ruling itself. Put the question of independence to New Mexico as a calm, peaceful vote, and about 49 percent say leave. That is roughly 801,000 adults, close to half the state.
That 49 percent is the real number because a ballot is not an opinion. A poll asks you to imagine the abstract. A vote is binary and peaceful: yes or no, no army, no chaos, just a choice. When you frame it that way, support runs about 30 points over the abstract poll, which lands New Mexico within reach of a majority. Even the understated floor, the raw YouGov survey, already puts it at 19 percent before anyone has made the case.
New Mexico leaned blue in 2020, and it does not matter, because self-determination is not a red or a blue idea. It is older than both. What is missing here is not the numbers and not the will. What is missing is each other. We bring the playbook and the connections that link you to the largest independence movement in the country. We do not run your group and we do not take your money.
