📍⛰️🚗 Today on our Voting Rights Road Trip, we’re making a stop in Nevada!
Nevada isn’t just home to sweeping mountain ranges and the largest gold-mining operation in the U.S. — it’s also a national hub for the labor organizing movement, led by Latino workers. For decades, union workers have leveraged their voices into progress on wages and working conditions, and ultimately Democratic political power. And just like in past elections, Nevada is a critical swing state that could determine the balance of power in 2024.
Battle-born voters have shown their collective power in Nevada, and that’s why Republicans are determined to stop them. Despite Democratic control of the Nevada legislature and a pro-voting Democrat as Secretary of State, Republicans have already introduced eight anti-voter bills in 2023 with an eye towards tipping the scales in 2024. Most recently, Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo proposed extreme changes to the state’s election laws to require stricter voter identification and limit the acceptance of mail ballots. Make no mistake: these changes are designed to make voting more difficult, and less accessible, for Nevadans — particularly voters of color.
Fair Fight’s mission of protecting the freedom to vote goes beyond a single county, city, or state.
In addition to fighting this anti-democratic legislation, our team is training four pro-democracy elected officials in Nevada through the Fair Fight Fellowship Program, providing them with the tools they need to protect the freedom to vote in their communities — especially ahead of the 2024 elections. That work goes hand-in-hand with the Nevada Democratic Party’s efforts to mobilize Democratic voters and elect Democratic candidates up and down the ballot.
As Republican attempts to silence Nevadans’ voices continue to emerge in this battleground state, we need to be prepared to fight back — again. That’s why funding the Nevada Democratic Party and Fair Fight’s efforts today is so critical.
Please pitch in any amount today to support the Nevada Democratic Party and Fair Fight’s efforts — now and in the future — to protect free and fair elections.
Thank you,
The Fair Fight Team
