We will commemorate the 25th anniversary of Congreso de las Acequias and affirm our theme ¡Semos Acequias! We Are Acequias! As acequias we are caretakers of the water that flows to our fields and all the interconnected waters of our watersheds, rivers, and aquifers. Our communities are surviving in the face of climate disasters and pressure from development and industries. It has never been more important for us to have a united voice to defend our water while we also work for a vibrant future with healthy communities and locally grown food. Acequia leaders and supporters build upon our past work and strengthen our movement to defend and protect the precious waters of our communities! 

We speak with a united voice.

We defend water.

We are Acequias.

The Congreso de las Acequias will be a hybrid event. The in-person event will be at the Highlands University (800 National Avenue) in Las Vegas, NM and we will also provide the option to attend online via Zoom. In person registration covers breakfast snacks, lunch, entertainment, educational materials, an engaging agenda, networking, and youth activities.
