FOR CHANGE

A Resolution is a formal expression of intention made by Democrats throughout the state.  It is a call to action on everyone’s behalf and should inspire change. 

2021/2023 DPNM Resolution Guidelines
The SPARC is committed to a fair and consistent process toward how resolutions are accepted to be approved by the State Central Committee
Upon receipt of a resolution, the committee will discuss the merits of the resolution to evaluate:
  • Whether it aligns with the core values of the Democratic party 
  • Whether it addresses the needs of the New Mexican people, and 
  • Whether the writing style is clear and specific.  
  • Whether it includes sources for each “WHEREAS” statement. 
Citing sources improves the quality and our understanding of your resolution.  
​
Resolutions are stronger when the result is specific, focused, and/or achievable.  For example: "retrain police in de-escalation techniques" vs. "reform the police”
Submission Process:
  • If the recommendation DOES NOT meet these guidelines, it is returned to the author with feedback.
    • After receiving feedback, you may revise and resubmit to the SPARC.
  • If the recommendation DOES meet these guidelines, it is then submitted the SPARC to be voted on
    • Recommendations with similar spirit and intent will be bundled and the number of similar submissions will be noted. 
  • Each resolution must be submitted on a separate form so that they can be voted on individually. 
  • All resolution submissions to be considered as input on the 2018 platform must be submitted by DECEMBER 1ST, 2017.
