LAS CRUCES, NM — On Saturday, October 5, Independent Women’s Voice (IWV) will hold a Stand With Women New Mexico Rally, open to the public, at the Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. At the event, New Mexico candidates for federal and state office who are pro-woman and fighting for policies that preserve women’s safety, equal opportunity, and rights will be championed.

Independent Women’s Voice has led the nationwide fight to prevent men from entering women-only spaces, taking opportunities meant for women, winning women’s sports competitions, and compromising women’s safety and privacy. 

The Stand With Women New Mexico Rally will also highlight those women leaders who have signed IWV’s Stand With Women Commitment to “support legislation that preserves female opportunities and private spaces.” 

By signing the commitment, these candidates have earned an “approved” score on IWV’s Riley Gaines Stand With Women Scorecard – demonstrating to New Mexicans their dedication to fighting for women and girls. IWV is proud that this is a bipartisan effort as both Republican and Democrat officials have signed on to Stand with Women. 

RALLY SPEAKERS TO INCLUDE:

  • Paula Scanlan, Independent Women’s Voice State Affairs Liaison and former swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania 
  • New Mexico Candidate for U.S. Senate Nella Domenici 
  • New Mexico Candidate for U.S. Congress Yvette Herrell (New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District)
  • Candidate for State Representative Andrea Reeb (New Mexico House District 64)
