New Mexico Social Justice and Equity Institute (NMSJEI) is a non-profit organization in the Northwest Region of New Mexico, which serves McKinley and San Juan Counties.
NMSJEI and its initiatives serve as a partner and grantee of the New Mexico Health Equity Partnership (HEP), an initiative at the Santa Fe Community Foundation. HEP believes every New Mexican should have the opportunity to lead a healthy life, to live in neighborhoods where children and families thrive, and have a say in the decisions that impact their communities and their lives.
NMSJEI works to create and sustain collaborative partnerships in the Northwest Region of New Mexico as well as support a vibrant, equitable community that respects and honors all individuals.
Our mission is to change systems that perpetuate environmental health disparities related to the impacts of institutional racism and multi-generational trauma, by building the capacity and empowering participating communities within the county to impact equitable policy change.
