Green Party of New Mexico records 1987-2002 (bulk 1994-2000)

The New Mexico Green Party records consists in large part of correspondence, flyers and brochures, newspaper clippings, newsletters, agendas, budgets, meeting minutes, and audio/video recordings. The collection is divided into 6 series. The largest series, "New Mexico Green Party," contains the bulk of material pertaining to political activism of the Green Party in New Mexico, and here is where the researcher can get a good sense of the strides made by the New Mexico Green Party. The other series also provide insight into the New Mexico Green Party and its connection to national politics, environmental activism, and social and ecological negotiations. The video and audio recordings are an important compliment to all the series, but most specifically to the political campaigns. This collection was amassed via several Green Party sources: Robert L. Anderson, Ted Cloak, Abraham Gutmann, Alberto Perea. Series 1: Organizational Documents and Newsletters. This series consists of New Mexico and National Green Party constitutions, platforms, bylaws, resolutions and amendments from 1992-2000. It also contains New Mexico Green Party grievance reports, general documentation on uniform rules and organizing, articles about building a third party, and academic papers about the Green Party. Green Party newsletters will also be found in this series. Series 2: New Mexico Green Party. This is the largest series in the collection, encompassing party status, campaigns, general operations, and issues of interest. Included are petitions for major party status in New Mexico, and statutes on major party recognition 1994-2001, as well as campaign materials for Abraham Gutmann, Roberto MondragoĢn, Pat Wolf, Jack Urich, Sam Hitt, and Carol Miller, and Tom Udall (1992-2000). Materials pertaining to Bob Anderson's race for state representative of district 18 in 1996 and his 1998 district 1 congressional race against republican incumbent Heather Wilson and democrat Phil Maloof are contained in a separate subseries, and include questionnaires, ephemera, endorsement letters, invitations to conferences and speaking events, and documents about his opposition. The series also contains documents from the UNM Green organization and Progressive Coalition. Series 3: National Green Party. This includes documentation of 1996 and 2000 presidential campaigns from national headquarters and New Mexico. This series contains a large number of e-mail correspondences from New Mexico for a People's President, election results from 2000, and Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke platforms, biographies, and documentation of their visits to New Mexico. Series 4: Environment and Social Justice. This series contains organizational documentation of activities of the Forest Guardians (state recommendations, testimonies, campaigns they spearheaded and publications) from 1995-2000. This series also includes materials relating to New Mexico Green Party's involvement in environmental issues (wilderness advocacy, logging, ranching, pollution, nuclear and toxic waste, global warming and energy concerns), as well as information from national organizations on these matters. Additionally, this documents New Mexico and National Green Party involvement and interest in issues of globalization, economic and social justice, labor party, and anti-militarization. Native American concerns important to the Green Party, mainly the New Mexico Petroglyph Monument protection from 1995-1998, the Makah Tribe Whale Hunting Dispute from 2000, and general indigenous concerns from the U.S. and British Colombia from 1987-1998 form a unique subseries. Series 5: Oversize consists of campaign maps and posters, labor party advertisements, a collection of campaign buttons and banners from 1998-2000. Series 6: Video/Audio includes video and audio recordings from 1993-2000. The bulk of these recordings pertain to the campaigns of Bob Anderson, Jack Urich, Carol Miller and Ralph Nader. They include debates, rallies, promotion spots, home footages, speeches, interviews, and candidate profiles. Additional recordings concern nuclear power in space (1994-1995), and the Zuni Salt Lake/Coal Mine Controversy of 1996.
