The Anti-Racism Anti-Oppression Hotline is maintained by the New Mexico Public Education Department.  It is available for students, families, staff members, community members, or any stakeholder to report school-based incidents of racism, injustice or discrimination against anyone. Callers will reach a trained department employee from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday; if calling after hours, they can leave a message. The hotline was established in compliance with the Black Education Act (House Bill 43) passed in the 2021 General Session of the Legislature.

The hotline provides a variety of ways to file an incident report and operates under IPRA and FERPA guidelines.
