Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada

Lutheran (ELCA) advocacy to the Nevada State Legislature fighting for justice and dignity for all people in our great state.

LEAN would like to have its first tweet be a big "thank you" to our legislators doing the hard work of fixing our budget crisis during a quarantine! We know it isn't an easy issue to solve and appreciate everybody's hard work.

Has there been any exploration of restricting/banning Single Family Zoning in Nevada as a way to deal with the housing crisis? Would like to hear more if you know about this issue.

[Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto]

This was the right decision. George Floyd should still be alive today. Though the pain experienced by Mr. Floyd’s family, Minneapolis, and all of America cannot be erased, this is a step toward justice.

@MelanieScheible @YouTube Watching live as I'm not quite ready for treks to Carson yet! Looking forward to more exciting work by this committee

While we could not participate live in this meeting, we submitted a written testimony in STRONG SUPPORT of SB 139. Trans rights are human rights and this bill is a fantastic step forwards in enhancing the life and dignity of trans people in Nevada. Support this bill!

At 8am with the help of @TAGnevada @GenderJusticeNV and rockstar advocates, I'm presenting SB 139 in Senate C&L to protect trans patients' access to medical care and insurance coverage for it!

In about 30 minutes I’m excited to join @crgvaldez @DallasHarrisNV @SelenaTorresNV and @HowardWattsNV to talk about the upcoming #nvleg session

[Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada @LEAN4Justice]

@MelanieScheible Glad to hear someone calling it what it actually is: terrorism

[Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada @LEAN4Justice]

I am curious, as a constituent, if any legislators have a system for taking suggestions on possible bills. I'm sure there's a lot of great ideas out there that just need a champion.

Vote by mail doesn’t lead to voter fraud. Pass it on.

No one:

Everyone in Nevada: googles what is a clubhouse governor?

@BattleBornProg @GayCae @DanielCoronaNV @Pickard4Nevada Wait, #Pokemon AND #NVLeg memes overlapping? Best thing ever! I'm reaching stratosphere level of geeking out right now

[Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada @LEAN4Justice]

Speaking to an issue as complex as #AB3 and keeping it under 2 minutes is probably the hardest part of my job. #NVLeg #BlackLivesMatter

[Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada @LEAN4Justice]

Our sentiments exactly. We choose to embrace progress where we can get it even if it should be more and hope to see further steps in the coming full session! We support AB 3! #BlackLivesMatter #AB3 #NVLeg

[Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada @LEAN4Justice]

Truly the best quote of the whole discussion

[Battle Born Progress @BattleBornProg]

.@BrittMiller4AD5 says "The choice before us today is not to support cops or black lives. It is to do to both." Thank you, Assemblywoman! We need to make sure that our communities of color get the justice they so desperately deserve. #AB3 #NVleg

#AB3 #NVLeg

[Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada @LEAN4Justice]

Alexa, how do I listen to two live sessions at once and make sense of either? #NVLeg #HelpMe

[Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada @LEAN4Justice]

Jesus shared the parable of the shepherd with a hundred sheep, one of which was lost. Which sheep mattered? #BlackLivesMatter

[Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada @LEAN4Justice]

Consider it a good thing that the support testimonies were limited to 2 minutes more strictly than opposition. It means there were a lot more of us! #AB3 #NVLeg

[Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada @LEAN4Justice]

I know it is hard, folks, but 2 minutes is the name of the game in these testimonies!

[Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada @LEAN4Justice]

Hearing testimony against AB 3 and already I am struggling. Compliance saves lives? I don't have enough characters to tweet all the names of compliant people who still died in custody of law enforcement or who died before they even had a chance to comply. Compliance isn't enough.

Pro-tip: Getting the bill number right is a good idea...
