AMMPARO Advocacy Cards

These cards are designed to help you amplify your voice and directly engage your members of Congress on critical immigration issues, emphasizing human dignity and immigrant rights.

We encourage you to gather signatures from your congregation and community members, as multiple cards from one church can have a significant impact.

Once filled out, these cards are intended to be mailed to our office in Washington D.C., where Kate Parsons, our Migration Policy Advisor, will then hand-deliver them to members of Congress or their staff.

The address is:

ELCA Washington Office 

10 G Street NE, Suite 430

Standing in Solidarity with Indigenous Nevadans

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.

Back-to-School Reminder from LEAN

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
