Vote Nevada Supporters,
The next legislative deadline is this upcoming Friday, April 14th. Bills must be voted affirmatively out of committee in the legislative house of origination (the side of the legislature where the bill started) to stay alive.
Here are two interesting bills for this week:
Monday, April 10, 2023
Restorative justice needs adequate wraparound services, so we need more services for early learning and families.

Here are a few events for the next week:

Thursday, April 13th, from 2 to 4 pm, the Nevada Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is holding its second hearing on Teacher Shortages and their Impact on Education Equity. The public will also be able to attend this second hearing. As soon as I have the link to sign up to attend, I will send an update email.
Saturday, April 15th, from 12:30 to 1:30 pm, the Las Vegas Branch of the NAACP monthly meeting is at the Pearson Center, 1625 West Carey, LV, 89106.

Saturday, April 22nd, from 9:00 to 10:00 am, Vote Nevada is hosting a Zoom presentation from the No Labels Party. Similar to our meeting about the Forward Party, we will be hearing from a No Labels Party representative. You can RSVP here: https://vote-nevada.news/No-Labels-Party-Presentation
You can read about the No Labels Party here: https://www.nolabels.org/
With our nonpartisan voter registration surging each month, I am sure Nevada is on the radar of all the minor political parties. If we go into the 2024 election cycle with 40 percent of our voters not registered with a major political party, a lot of eyes will be on the Silver State. To watch a webinar with civil rights leader Dr. Ben Chavis from No Labels, the recording is here: https://youtu.be/06vzNkuDwCs
You can review Nevada’s voter registration data on the Nevadans for Election Reform website; Doug Goodman has been tracking Nevada’s voter registration data each month for many years: https://nevadansforelectionreform.org/blog/
Thank you for being Nevadans with me,
