This legislative session brought meaningful progress toward equity and self-determination for Indigenous communities in Nevada. At LEAN, we celebrate these milestones and recommit ourselves to advocacy that centers the voices and leadership of Indigenous Nevadans.

These victories were made possible through the persistence of Indigenous leaders, tribal governments, and allies across Nevada. Our work now is to ensure these laws are implemented fully and fairly. We stand ready to partner with Indigenous Nevadans to defend voting rights, expand healthcare access, and deepen systemic change.

Together, we can build a Nevada where every voice is heard, every community is represented, and every person thrives.

From rising energy bills to health risks and disrupted lives, extreme heat is endangering our communities.

With over 500 heat-related deaths in Southern Nevada last year, it’s time to act.

Let’s make Nevada livable for everyone.

As students return to the classroom, we at Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada (LEAN) remind congregations of the important protections secured through the Family Unity Support Act, passed during the 83rd Legislative Session.

We encourage Lutheran congregations across Nevada to know your rights—especially as children return to school—and to make sure your communities are prepared and updated. These protections matter if Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attempts to intimidate or target Lutheran churches and families.

Together, let’s stand firm in protecting our children, our families, and our sacred spaces

Jesus didn’t come to make life cozy—he came to shake us awake.
This Monday, let faith move you, truth guide you, and love drive you.
