Water Protector Legal Collective

Water Protector Legal Collective is a nonprofit organization based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, dedicated to civic engagement work in the Albuquerque metro area. The organization focuses on legal support and advocacy related to water protection issues that affect the region.

This work holds particular significance in New Mexico, where water scarcity and competing demands for limited water resources shape the state's economy, agriculture, and community welfare. The Rio Grande and other water systems face mounting pressure from drought, development, and historical allocation disputes. Legal advocacy and civic participation are essential tools for ensuring that marginalized communities have a voice in water policy decisions and that environmental protections are upheld as the state navigates complex water management challenges.

Water Protector Legal Collective operates as a 501(c)(3) public charity, which means donations to the organization are tax-deductible. Community support for nonprofits working on these critical issues strengthens local capacity to protect both people and natural resources.
