Join Bread for the World organizers and advocates to learn best practices for securing your member of Congress as a cosponsor on the MODERN WIC Act. As advocates, we have the goal of moving our decision-makers to take action to address food insecurity. With this goal, a main ask of our in-district meetings this year will be requesting cosponsors of the MODERN WIC Act, and it is a request that can also be made outside of a meeting through emails and calls with the office. Come to learn how to research your legislator, how to learn more about WIC both nationally and locally, and how to frame the conversation based on your legislator’s political priorities.

Nevada is in a housing crisis—and our leaders must act now.

Families are being priced out of their homes. Rents are skyrocketing. Corporate landlords are buying up entire neighborhoods. And across the state, our unhoused neighbors are being criminalized instead of cared for.

This didn’t happen by accident.

In the 2023 legislative session, Governor Joe Lombardo vetoed every single housing bill. Since then, we’ve seen:

• A rise in evictions
• Soaring rent and hidden fees
• Corporations buying up homes
• More arrests and harassment of unhoused Nevadans

Enough is enough.

Housing is a human right. These bills are the bare minimum of what our communities deserve.

Nevada families deserve fair energy bills — not surprise spikes.

AB 452 is a powerful step toward energy justice in our state, and we need your voice today.

This bill would:

Require NV Energy to share the burden of rising fuel costs — not just pass them to us

Encourage lower energy prices by holding utilities accountable

Extend review timelines so the public has more time to respond to rate hikes

Ensure customers get full refunds + interest when they’re overcharged

AB 452 puts the people before profit. It brings transparency, fairness, and stability to our utility system.

In the latest episode of Here I Pod from ELCA Advocacy, host Regina Banks speaks with Silas Kulkarni, director of strategy and advocacy for ELCA Witness in Society. They discuss how the ELCA has advocated at the federal level around budget reconciliation and rescission bills, as well as the opportunities for advocacy during August Recess, when members of Congress return to their districts and are available for meetings with their constituents.

We will then hear from Rev. Michael Wilker about how advocacy can start at August Recess and lead to even more opportunities throughout the year to engage on issues that concern you and your community.
