ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — New Mexicans took part in a national movement with a prominent figure at their side Sunday in Albuquerque.

A large crowd of people gathered for The People’s March, which brings people together to advocate for various issues, like women’s rights and immigration.

“I haven’t actually come out and stood up for what I believe in, and now’s the time to do it, I think, more than ever, honestly,” said Cat Edmonds, who marched for the first time.

There was a familiar face joining Edmonds in the march. Deb Haaland, the outgoing secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior and a member of the Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico, made her way back home from Washington, D.C.

“I’m so happy to be here. I’ve been a part of this march for many years, and happy to be here once more,” Haaland said.

As the Interior Secretary under former President Joe Biden, Haaland became the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary. Her term ended Monday when Donald Trump took the oath of office and became president.

Haaland said she is proud of what she accomplished.

In 2023, her office took action to protect the Chaco region from new oil and gas leasing and mining claims. At the time, she was met with Navajo protesters who blocked the route to Chaco Canyon.

Tribal-led conservation was a big push for Haaland during her term but not the only key issue.

“I think that, generally, President Biden was just so great on conservation. So we were able to get a lot of conservation efforts across the finish line for here in New Mexico, but it’s everything else too,” she said.

Recently in New Mexico, her department agreed to a settlement with the Jemez Pueblo over land rights in the Valles Caldera National Preserve.

“I’m a New Mexican, I’m a Pueblo woman. I take that perspective wherever I go. And so being in Washington, D.C., having the opportunity to manage a 65,000 career workforce, and manage all of our public lands, it was really a wonderful opportunity and such an honor,” Haaland said.

There is no official word on what Haaland’s next move will be.

On the eve of President-elect Donald Trump’s second inauguration, speakers at a rally in New Mexico’s largest city called for a new social movement to defy Trump and confront fascism.

Hosted by the New Mexico Women’s March, The People’s March was timed in conjunction with similar protests in Washington D.C. and around the country.

New Mexico Women’s March Chair Samia Assed told the hundreds gathered at Albuquerque’s Civic Plaza the political moment demands practicing democracy and protecting the right to protest.

“A big responsibility lies on our shoulders, and we have to be up for it,” Assed said. “Come Tuesday, President Trump will have his 100 executive orders ready for us. Project 2025 will unfold. Are we going to fight back?”

Assed introduced outgoing U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, the event’s keynote speaker. Haaland noted the record 60 women headed to the state Legislature this week and said there’s much more to do to support parents and working people.

Haaland said Trump is “surrounding himself with super-rich people who look down on us and our communities.”

“Our fight is not over. We will need to do the hard work of getting important things done and pushing back against an administration who couldn’t care less about regular people, about people like us,” Haaland said. “We will need to unapologetically stand up to make change to ensure that your voices are heard. We need more people with real lived experiences elected to office and serving our communities as doctors, scientists, CEOs, so that solutions reflect who we are.”

Other speakers at the rally included state Sens. Antoinette Sedillo Lopez and Harold Pope, Rep. Eleanor Chavez, Pueblo Action Alliance Executive Director Julia Bernal, Faith Roots Reproductive Action Development Director Karinna Solares and El Centro de Igualdad y Derechos Community Organizer Fabiola Landeros.

“We’re going to fight to remind people in power that they answer to us,” Haaland said.
