THIS WEEK: 

Strike for Black Lives Rally

"Strike" with your wallet today by only spending money at Black owned businesses and then join us tonight in Las Vegas for a national day of action to demand justice for Black Lives! The event takes place at the Grant Sawyer State Office Building (555 E Washington Ave, Las Vegas, 89101) from 5pm to 8pm. It will begin with a press conference followed by a rally.

What's the Tea Tuesdays

The topic for this week will be about the new Clark County initiative: Transform Clark County. Our guests this week will consist of Mario Bermudez & Sami Real, representatives of Clark County and part of the working team of Transform Clark County. Ainslee Archibald, lead organizer at Sunrise Movement Las Vegas, and member of the NEJC, will also join us. We will learn about what this will mean not only for the greater Clark County, but also how this will apply to our communities. Tune in live at 3:30 p.m. on our Facebook.

UPDATES:

Special Session: Last night, the 31st Special Session of the Nevada State Legislature adjourned having made a number of cuts to make up for the $1.2 billion shortfall in the state's budget for 2021. We called on our legislature to be bold, and with the support of all of our PLANistas and member groups, we nearly were able to pass mining tax reform to bring revenue into our state. But this special session is was not the end of the discussion on revenue reform and we will enter the 2021 legislative session stronger and more powerful than before 

If you missed our Nightly Special Session Recaps, you can catch up on our Instragram TV or Facebook Playlist.

Rental Assistance Now AvailableToday State Treasurer Zach Conine announced that the state's rental assistance progam in response to COVID-19 is accepting applications statewide. The state is providing $30 million in short-term rental assistance with money received as a part of the CARES Act. You can learn more and apply at housing.nv.gov.

 

TAKE ACTION: 

Environmental Justice Meeting: This month we will be talking about land management and why we do it in light of the Transform Clark County proposal! 
 
We will have an introduction to this proposal, and then will discuss why profits drive our land management decisions. We will dig into some of the implications of managing our spaces for profit through a discussion on the role of police in protecting property before people. Finally, we will round up the discussion with members of the Nevada Environmental Justice Coalition discussing a positive vision for the future!
