We're parents, neighbors, and voters working to make Santa Fe more livable for families with young kids.
For years, we've been talking about it—wanting safer play spaces, more affordable and obtainable childcare, better transit, and well-maintained parks. But family needs keep getting delayed, underfunded, or ignored in City Hall.
Niños & Neighbors exists to help ensure families have a voice in local elections and can impact policy decisions in Santa Fe.

We want to highlight three ballot measures that Santa Fe voters will get to vote for, that we think are especially important and relevant for families with young children in our City.

Santa Fe families need a solid foundation.
Family infrastructure is not an extravagance. Families are simply asking for the basics:
Childcare that we don’t have to fight tooth-and-nail to find.
Soccer fields that don’t leave kids playing on sharp goatheads.
Summer water play that is open and functional before our babies grow up.
Local amenities that will enrich and inspire kids to grow and give back to this community.
Together, we’re asking for a Santa Fe that sees its children—not a side note or nuisance—but as a priority and a strong investment. Join us!
Yes, we want a splash pad. But it's not just about a splash pad.

Santa Fe continues to undervalue the infrastructure and policies that make a city liveable for families: well-maintained playgrounds, fields, and sidewalks, affordable childcare and extracurriculars, and policies that allow working parents to thrive.
Family infrastructure benefits all residents, regardless of whether they’re raising kids.
