“As you read through the stories in these pages, you will see compassion in action. In Honduras, Ukraine and the United States, our neighbors are showing resilience, faith and empathy in the face of disaster. Even when their own lives have been upended, they are looking out for others in similar situations.”

— Maryn Olson, Director

Yesterday, faith leaders, community advocates, and environmental partners gathered to urge Gov. Joe Lombardo and the Environmental Protection Agency to restore funding for the Nevada Solar for All program after it was suspended under the Trump administration.

Nevada families are already feeling the strain of record-breaking heat and rising utility bills. Solar for All provides real relief — helping families lower energy costs, create good-paying jobs, and make clean power accessible to every Nevadan, not just the wealthy few.

Affordable solar energy is smart, practical, and right for Nevada.

At LEAN, we remain committed to advocating for clean, renewable energy as part of our faithful call to care for God’s creation.

Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada (LEAN) is inviting Nevada Lutherans to complete a short survey about hunger-related ministries. Your responses will help us understand how your church engages in feeding ministries and how we can better support your work through advocacy, education, and partnership.

Take the survey today and help us share stories of faith in action across Nevada!

Join the Movement.
LEAN is mobilizing Lutherans across Nevada for justice, compassion, and public witness.

BJC seeks to cultivate the role of faith communities in building a democratic society that practices dignity and pluralism. We recognize that clergy carry a unique and sacred responsibility in this moment: leading congregations to respond faithfully as religious freedom is under threat. As Christian nationalism continues to grow, harming already vulnerable communities, this work can be difficult to carry alone.
