We agree, this bill would further urban sprawl, increase carbon emissions and air pollution, and perpetuate inequities in housing, transit, and climate.
Members of the Northern Nevada Democratic Socialists (@NNV_DSA) and IWW out in front of the #NVleg building this morning protesting Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak’s Innovation Zones proposal.
Las Vegas DSA, @SunriseMvmtLV, and @NLGLasVegas Oppose @SenCortezMasto's Lands Bill. This bill would further urban sprawl, increase carbon emissions and air pollution, and perpetuate inequities in housing, transit, and climate.

We’re proud to announce that we are working with @LasVegasDSA to take a stand against the disastrous “innovation zone” bill. This would allow corporations to effectively form their own governments.
Please join us and say no to corporate rule! https://t.co/wNGDH9uT8P
Passing AJR1** during this legislative session would tell current and future educators and students that you're listening, and you're here for us. No more nice words! It's time to take action.

We're joining our friends at @PLANevada this afternoon at 2pm to phone bank fellow Nevadans and ask them to join us in demanding their legislators pass AJR1** and #TaxtheMines. Sign up here: https://t.co/fRnbXb5c8M
On mining lobby day at #nvleg, we demand that our legislators put people over corporations. Nevada is one of the largest producers of gold in the world, and it’s time for the mining industry to pay their fair share. #TaxtheMines#OursNotMines
Why are education, healthcare, and basic services continually underfunded and treated like bargaining chips, when the state of Nevada is a literal gold mine where mining corporations pay an effective tax rate of less than 1%? #nvleg
You donated $10,000.
The reasonable tax proposed by AJR1 would see that raised in literally less than 10 minutes.
$600,000,000/year raised for Nevada communities.
It's beyond disappointing to see @GovSisolak pushing this nonsense. Nevadans want real relief from this health and economic catastrophe and not an opportunity to live and work in Amazon County, NV
"Mining hasn't been paying their fair share for so long. So many groups have been advocating for this. We're seeing a huge coalition of organizations that are advocating for this." -@CCabreraNV#nvleg
Time to #DigDeepNVLeg!

Climate emergency ‘21 Leg session
Meets 🤝 tomorrow!
Register for our monthly eco-socialism tomorrow at 6:30 where we will do a deep dive on the #nvleg session here: https://t.co/9j3Vh8nW07
"Rural Nevada counties, home to mining interests and a big mining company can’t stop the state Legislature from considering raising taxes on mining companies, a state judge ruled Thursday"
This is a win for the people! More to come during the upcoming #nvleg session 🥳🎉
Is the @reviewjournal ever going to effectively cover the climate crisis that is already taking a toll on our city? Climate change threatens us all, and must be a front page issue.
We need a #GreenNewDeal, and until then, no one can hide from this reality.
Thank you @LVDSAeco!
