The ACLU of Nevada has filed a lawsuit challenging ICE’s misuse of Nevada’s law enforcement to carry out its federal immigration agenda.
This unlawful 287(g) agreement between the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD), and ICE undermines Nevada’s justice system, obstructs state court orders, and wastes taxpayer dollars. Nevada’s law enforcement should serve our communities – not act as agents of federal immigration enforcement.
Creator God,
we give you thanks for the first peoples of this land — for their care of the earth, their wisdom, and their resilience. We honor the stories, traditions, and lives of Indigenous communities who have lived in harmony with creation since time immemorial.
Forgive us for the ways colonization and injustice have silenced voices and broken relationships. Open our hearts to truth and healing, that we may walk in right relationship with our Indigenous neighbors, listening, learning, and standing in solidarity.
May your Spirit move among us to bring justice to the oppressed, healing to the wounded, and renewed hope for all peoples who call this land home.
In the name of the One who brings reconciliation and peace, Amen.
Earlier this month, the City of Sparks became one of the first cities in Nevada to begin the process of creating a city ordinance to regulate data centers.
Data centers are rapidly expanding across our state — often without clear guidance or oversight. These facilities can be highly resource-intensive, consuming large amounts of energy and water.
Unlike many other jurisdictions, Sparks is taking proactive steps to address these impacts through thoughtful regulation.
At Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada (LEAN), we believe in caring for creation and protecting our shared, vulnerable resources. This step by the City of Sparks is an important example of how local governments can act to ensure technological growth doesn’t come at the expense of environmental stewardship.
World Food Day is right around the corner! This special day is celebrated annually on October 16 to raise awareness for people struggling with hunger, wherever they may be, and encourages global collaboration in creating a peaceful, sustainable, and food-secure future.
Join us by:
This year’s World Food Day theme is “Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future.” At Bread, we wholeheartedly believe in this message. Hunger is not inevitable — that’s why it makes sense to advocate for good policy decisions that enable everyone to have access to food.
Earlier this year, devastating cuts were made to international food aid and to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) here in the U.S. And right now, we’re in the midst of a government shutdown that is further impacting hunger programs and the ability of families to access the food they need.
These policy challenges will mean that more communities won’t have access to the food and nutrition they need.
But we can change that. When we join together as advocates and urge our elected officials to reject these devastating cuts, they hear us. Together, we can ensure that policies helping people put food on their tables are protected. That’s why I hope you will take action today.
Please join us in our Day of Action! Your generosity, including an early gift in honor of World Food Day, will support our work to advocate for life-saving legislation and help MILLIONS of people worldwide.
On September 10, the Department of the Interior announced plans to roll back a rule that recognized conservation as an official use of public lands.
If repealed, this could make it easier for extractive industries to exploit our shared lands—putting the health of our ecosystems, waters, and wildlife at risk.
At LEAN, we believe public lands should remain for the public good, not private profit.
