about swop...organizing for effective change SWOP is a statewide multi-racial, multi-issue, community based membership organization. Since 1980 we have worked to make it possible for thousands of New Mexicans to begin to have a place and voice in social, economic and environmental decisions that affect our lives. Our mission is "working to empower our communities to realize racial and gender equality and social and economic justice." Visit our Frequently Asked Questions page. People of color in New Mexico have resisted this historical domination by outside interests and have strong traditions of advocating for equitable control over public resources and for political power. For 20 years, the SouthWest Organizing Project has mounted a continuous effort to organize affected people for social justice and control over resources. SWOP has played a major leadership role in efforts to level the playing field through greater inclusion of working people in the decisions that affect their lives. We reach our objectives by educating, organizing, and developing leadership in our communities to meet the challenges we face. Community Participation in Decision Making.SWOP acts as a vehicle for those directly affected by the decisions of governments, developers, and corporations to have a greater voice in the process.
