Hi Friend, 

We’re just three weeks away from Celebrate Progress 2021! By now, you’ve
likely been getting calls, text messages, and seen our social media feed
talking all about our annual fundraiser gala, being held virtually this
year [ [link removed] ]on November 3rd at 6:00PM!

Without your help, we couldn’t sustain the work we do each day educating
and empowering Nevadans to speak out for progressive values and issues. If
you can make a gift of $125.00 for a ticket to Celebrate Progress, that
gift goes directly to things like helping me stay up-to-date on the
cutting edge of polling and messaging research and designing a
communications plan for success throughout 2022! 

But Celebrate Progress is also about lifting up and honoring some awesome
people who led the way to move Nevada forward over the past year. This
past weekend, you met Former Lt. Governor Kate Marshall, Marlene Lockard,
and Bradley Schrager. This week, allow me to introduce our Northern and
Southern Nevada Activists of the Year, and our Community Service Award
winner! 

Jennifer Cantley

[2]alt_text Nevada’s air quality is decidedly not great, especially lately, as dust
storms, wildfires, and vehicle smog continue to sting our lungs statewide.
It’s enough to make someone say, “Enough is enough.” And that someone is
Jennifer Ann Cantley, our 2021 Northern Nevada Progressive Activist of the
Year! Mother, Reiki Master, and proprietor of the One Source Network
consulting firm, Jennifer has worked closely alongside groups fighting for
equitable solutions to the climate crisis, such as Moms Clean Air Force.
Jennifer's latest heart project is to help the Atsa Koodakuh wyh Nuwu
(People of Red Mountain) of the Fort McDermitt Reservation to protect
their people from the Thacker Pass lithium mine project.

Akiko Cooks

[4]alt_text There’s no way to sugarcoat it; Clark County schools have a white
supremacy problem. We’ve seen this in the handling (or lack thereof) [ [link removed] ]of
racist threats made to students on school campuses’ and the [ [link removed] ]unhinged
conniption fit thrown by some parents in response to the school district’s
proposed Anti-Racism Policy. Our Southern Nevada 2021 Progressive Activist
of the Year is a parent who’s putting her foot down to demand a
racism-free learning environment for our kids. Our honoree is none other
than Akiko Cooks, co-founder of #1865 No Racism in Schools and Community
Organizer with the Mass Liberation Project NV!

Lisa Levine

[6]alt_text Lisa Levine is such an amazing Nevadan, we had to create a new award
category just to capture her contributions to our great state! Lisa is the
recipient of our first Community Service Award. This award is designed to
recognize an individual who selflessly works to provide needed resources
to communities struggling in Nevada. This describes Lisa in spades. On top
of over 15 years of experience as a public affairs professional, her
greatest passion is strengthening Nevada’s education system. Lisa was
appointed to the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents by
Governor Sisolak, where she fought for stronger protections for victims of
sexual violence and discrimination, advocated for commonsense solutions to
cut waste by reinvesting public dollars to the classroom, and kept
students from being evicted.

[ [link removed] ]    Thank an amazing community leader!    
That’s 3 more amazing women leaders to add to the Celebrate Progress 2021
roster! But we’re only half-way through the list of honorees being hosted;
so keep an eye out for another email from my colleague, Will, very soon to
learn more about who’s who at this year’s gala! We’ve got lots more
announcements to come and I’m so excited for how this year’s fundraiser is
shaping up. [ [link removed] ]Be sure to grab your ticket and we’ll see you there on
November 3rd! 

 

Sincerely,

P.S. Help spread the Celebrate Progress cheer by sharing the [ [link removed] ]Facebook
Event with all your progressive friends!
