NEVADA IS BUILT FOR SOLAR POWER

Nevada is one of the sunniest states in the US, making it an ideal location for solar energy.​

  • Harnessing this natural resource can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and lower energy costs.​
  • Our faith teaches us to be good stewards of the Earth.​
  • Let’s invest in clean, renewable energy for a brighter future.​

Homelessness is a Policy Failure

Nevada’s housing crisis is the product of greed.

Developers and corporate landlords have lobbied for years. They have loosen zoning restrictions and fast-track luxury builds while opposing meaningful renter protections. The result? Billions in public subsidies go toward “attainable” units priced far out of reach for working families.

Meanwhile, low-income Nevadans, especially Black, brown, and formerly incarcerated residents, face skyrocketing rents, evictions, and homelessness.

Enough. Our communities deserve housing that is safe, stable, and truly affordable.

For Such a Time as This: A Call to Prayer and Fasting

Bishop Leila M. Ortiz has added her voice to an interfaith letter that challenges the fear-based governance we are witnessing in Washington, D.C. She has also written a letter inviting the Metro D.C. Synod to join her in three days of prayer and fasting beginning this Sunday through Tuesday. Her call is inspired by the example of Queen Esther, who taught us that confronting principalities and powers requires both spiritual preparation and courageous action. Read her full letter outlining this urgent spiritual work. Let us pray… with God’s help and in Jesus’ name. Amen.

ELCA HJN Statement on EO Ending Crime and Disorder

As members of the ELCA Homeless and Justice Network, we firmly oppose this administration’s executive order “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets,” which falsely conflates homelessness with criminality, mental illness and addiction.

Our faith compels us to reject the scapegoating of our vulnerable neighbors. We remember the words of the prophet Isaiah: “Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, … to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house?” (Isaiah 58:6-7).

Homelessness is not a crime. It is a complex social and economic condition that demands justice-driven public policy, not fear-based executive action.
