Summer of Civics Working Groups

People’s Interim Committee: This working group will identify policy issues that failed to advance during the past legislative session but could be addressed by another level of government.  We will also explore what needs to be a priority for the next legislative session.  People Centered Workforce Development and Lifting People Out of Poverty will be top priorities.

June 14th from 9 to 10 am via Zoom, RSVP: https://vote-nevada.news/Peoples-Interim-Committee

Preparing for the 2026 Election Cycle: Vote Nevada will provide guidance on how to run for office, while working group members will develop an advocacy agenda for the election cycle and discuss community events that candidates can also attend. The focus will be on the community.

June 15th from 9 to 10 am via Zoom, RSVP https://vote-nevada.news/Preparing-for-2026

Create a 2026 Civics Voter Guide: This will be an electronic voter guide that offers civics information as well as candidate information.   We will need volunteers to help gather election and civics information that we can include to help new voters.

June 21st from 9 to 10 am via Zoom, RSVP: https://vote-nevada.news/Civics-Voter-Guide

Civics Education & Engagement 101: This working group will discuss strategies for engaging with reluctant voters.  Telling people they don’t understand the importance of voting or trying to shame them into voting can backfire.  We need some conversation prompts that acknowledge why a voter may choose not to vote as a solution.  Young voters, in particular, need to be heard first.

June 22nd from 9 to 10 am via Zoom, RSVP: https://vote-nevada.news/Civics-Ed-Engage

Ballot Questions 101: We will discuss the ballot question process, including which ballot questions will appear on the 2026 ballot and potential additional ballot questions that may be added.

June 28th from 9 to 10 am via Zoom, RSVP: https://vote-nevada.news/Ballot-Questions-101

 Oral History Project: This working group will gather evidence for possible bills in the 2026 legislative session.  Our first project involves interviewing women who have worked or are currently working in the trades, allowing them to share their experiences.  We need to understand why there are so few women in the trades, which offer jobs that lift people out of poverty.

June 29th from 9 to 10 am, via Zoom: https://vote-nevada.news/Oral-History-Project

Feel free to join as many working groups as you’d like.
