Friend,

President's Day weekend is upon us, but that doesn't mean there isn't
plenty of work to be done for the issues facing our state and our nation!
This coming week, we need your help supporting our educators, parents,
students, and allies in the fight to raise revenue for our public schools.
Plus, we have TWO excellent episodes of Progressive University lined up
that you definitely shouldn't miss! If you couldn't make our last
Progressive University episode on gun violence prevention in Nevada,
[ [link removed] ]view it here, with the passcode: v8?#zu5P.

Here's what's coming up this week:

Join Educators February 15th

[2]alt_text One of the most important priorities for this legislative session is for
our representatives to stop kicking the can and have a real conversation
about raising revenue. One reason for this is to stop the budget from
being balanced on the backs of our public schools and educators every time
there's a budget crisis. This Monday, February 15th, at 12:00pm noon,
Nevada educators, parents, students, and community members are making
their voices heard in dual socially distanced rallies in both the
legislative building in Carson City and the Grant Sawyer building in Las
Vegas! Our Executive Director, Annette, will be there and if you can, we'd
love for you to join us and our educator friends as they 'line the street
at 6 feet' this Monday. [ [link removed] ]RSVP here to show your support.

Get a checkup on healthcare

[4]alt_text Progressive University Episode 3 is also coming on Monday, February 15th
later in the afternoon at 5:00pm. Our first topic this week is the state
of healthcare. Now that we have a new administration, how do we actually
expand access to healthcare, lower prescription drug costs, and undo the
damage of the past four years? These answers and more will be explored by
our guest Margarida Jorge with Health Care for America Now (HCAN) so make
sure you [ [link removed] ]register for the Zoom event and we'll see you for a post-rally
Progressive University class!

Reproductive Justice 101

[6]alt_text Next, join us for our 4th Progressive University episode on Reproductive
Justice 101 happening this Wednesday, February 17th at 5:00pm. Access to
abortion and reproductive care is not equitable across all communities and
this session will discuss the movements underway to reclaim that autonomy
for all those capable of giving birth. The session will feature BBP Deputy
Director Maria-Teresa Liebermann-Parraga, Dr. Toni Bond, and Karla Ramirez
with Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains. Don't forget to sign up
for your second class of the week at the [ [link removed] ]Zoom link here!
