About NMCR
New Mexicans for Civil Rights was formed to protect the right to freedom of conscience, and other unalienable rights, including rights guaranteed by the US Constitution, against violations by employers, schools, local and state governments and the federal government.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
“All men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.”
-George Mason, Author of the Virginia Bill of Rights, 1776
