Grateful to have been given the opportunity to share about my experience at #COP26 with the @CCOProgram in @FIANevada 's end of the year Newsletter! 🙌🎉 You can check it out here: https://t.co/oUGtJ1VQf9

Love this organization & their work with faith communities here in NV. 💚

Christmas is about believing what a woman said about her sex life.

Christmas is about a family finding safety as refugees.

Christmas is about a child in need receiving support from the wise.

Christmas is about God identifying himself with the marginalized not the powerful.

While Nevadan families are struggling just to keep up with A/C bills in RECORD summer temperatures, NV Energy thinks it's okay to have ratepayers cover an additional $200K for lavish expenses made for the benefit of corporate executives. 🙄

It's Latino Conservation Week!🌱 #DYK Latinos are 165% more likely to live in counties with unhealthy particle pollution? It's more important than ever to protect our communities & combat environmental disparities! Join the #CleanEnergy movement! https://t.co/8Z7pZMo9MY #LCW2023

ICYMI! NV Energy Customers turned out STRONG at the consumer session last week to voice concerns over increased energy rates due to the state's over dependence on methane gas. We need a just transition away from all fossil fuels!📷 https://t.co/zfueW8iQIc

[Faith In Action Nevada @FIANevada]

Through the #Justice40 initiative, #IRA funding will be available for @HUDgov to provide public rental housing units more access to clean energy! 📷📷 This is one way to help low-income communities of color most impacted by #climatechange. Details: https://t.co/Dg9rzvd4Ge

Nevada is home to 2 of the fastest warming cities in the U.S. AND with failing grades for air quality. Bills like #SB427 will help protect worker health by placing common sense standards and improve #WorkplaceSafety.

We need action NOW. @elainemarzola @SteveYeagerNV @sandra4nv

[Olivia Tanager @OliviaTanager]

Ever walked to your mailbox during wildfire season and felt like you were choking? Imagine working in that for 8 hours a day. Protect our workers @elainemarzola @SteveYeagerNV @sandra4nv #SB427 #nvleg

[Chasity Martinez @chasity_m8]

#SB427 will help ensure that Nevada workers have more protections from extreme heat and poor air quality - both of which disproportionately impact BIPOC communities. We need #nvleg leadership to #SupportWorkerHealth @elainemarzola @SteveYeagerNV @sandra4nv @NVEnviroJustice

[Faith In Action Nevada @FIANevada]

People of color are 64% MORE likely to live in a county with a failing #StateoftheAir grade.
In Nevada, over 1.5 million people of color live in communities impacted by unhealthy air quality! Learn more about how to support at-risk populations here: https://t.co/wr0sEmUWm6

[Faith In Action Nevada @FIANevada]

#ICYMI NV's most populated counties received F grades from @LungAssociation’s #StateoftheAir report.
With Las Vegas as the 15th most ozone-polluted city in the US & Reno in the top 25 most polluted cities for both ozone & short-term particle pollution. https://t.co/UROxHDSIL0

ICYMI: Last week our Northern NV Community Organizer Chastity Martinez testified at the #nvleg in support of #SB155 which seeks to end fines and fees for our homeless population. Take a listen and share!

[Chasity Martinez @chasity_m8]

Mining-impacted community members deserve to have a choice in their future. Not passing #AB313 takes that choice away, gives it to #nvmining. NV water is worth protecting! @Cohen4AD29 @voteNatha @sbilbray @TracyBrownMay @Nv18Venicia @BeaDuranNV @HowardWattsNV @La_Rue_Hatch #nvleg

[Faith In Action Nevada @FIANevada]

We are in person at the state’s Capitol in support of #SB155 #NVleg

[Faith In Action Nevada @FIANevada]

Listen as one of our Faith Leaders Rev. Dr. Karen Anderson of First AME Church in North Las Vegas give a plea for everyone to care about #housingjustice across our state! #NHJAAdvocacyDay #tenantsrights

[Nevada Housing Justice Alliance @theNHJA]

Tenants are forced to come up with thousands to move into a new apartment or home. #SB78 will address this by limiting application fees to actual, necessary costs & limiting the fees to one fee per available unit at a time. 👍 #nvleg

Watch the hearing now

[River Valley Organizing @RiverValleyOrg]

From our organizer in East Palestine: the dam constructed to hold back toxic waste has broken after today’s heavy rain and the area is flooding.

Safe homes and independent testing NOW.

[Nevada Environmental Justice Coalition @NVEnviroJustice]

Do you live in or near Carson City? Then stop by March 6th at 8am for Environmental Justice Day at the Nevada Legislature! We will be gathering for a press conference, lobbying training, meetings with legislators, and a floor hearing!

#environmentaljustice #nvleg

[Faith In Action Nevada @FIANevada]

It is projected that the historic #InflationReductionAct will create more than 9 million #cleanenergy and climate-related jobs over the next decade, according to @PERIatUMass! The #IRA will help create opportunities for millions of #Nevadans. 🙌😃 https://t.co/yZKVhAYjfO

[Faith In Action Nevada @FIANevada]

Nevada's students will benefit from a cleaner, pollution-free ride to school! @ClarkCountySch received its first #ElectricSchoolBus ahead of a whole fleet thanks to a grant from NV energy and NDEP. More in @reviewjournal: https://t.co/QFIiTqBhN5 #CleanRides4Kids.
