AMAZING NEWS!! "Save the Elena Gallegos" celebrates another victory in our lawsuit against the City of Albuquerque!

Yesterday, May 16, 2023, to our surprise and elation, the judge in our lawsuit issued an order GRANTING our motion for summary judgment in our favor that our eighteen citizen plaintiffs have standing to enforce the deed to the Elena Gallegos Open Space!!

We had expected to argue our motion at our hearing on June 6. But the judge determined that "a hearing is not necessary" because "the material facts are undisputed" and all plaintiffs "have demonstrated sufficient injuries in fact to give them standing to seek to enforce the restrictions in the deed at issue here."

You can read the full order on our website and celebrate with us!:

This is a BIG victory and a game-changer for our lawsuit. When we filed our legal complaint back in December, we anticipated that the issue of standing was the most difficult obstacle we'd face... and now we've sailed right past it. Yesterday's order confirms that WE THE PEOPLE have the right to defend our open spaces from government development. And now the stage is set for a permanent injunction that will protect the Elena Gallegos forever.

Thank you for your continued support!
