  • Facing Race 2011 Legislative Report Card on Racial Equity
    PLAN Progressive Leadership alliance of nevada facing race 2011 LegiSLatiVe RePoRt CaRD oN RaCiaL equity neVada the Nevada Racial equity Report Card is a collaborative effort of PLaN and applied Research Center. PLaN uses research, public education, leadership development and grassroots organizing to build power and create more humane solutions to Nevada’s problems. our mission is to build collective strategic action among coalition partners in order to deepen democracy and achieve greater social justice in Nevada. Action Cover Photo: istockphoto introduction the history of our great state is blemished with a pattern of institutional and cultural abuse – sometimes marked by violence – to- ward communities of color. The town fathers of Reno burned Chinatown to the ground twice.1 The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination found as late as 2006 that Western Shoshone people were “being denied their tradi- tional rights to land.”2 Nevada enacted four miscegenation laws and a school segregation statute (prohibiting blacks, Asians and Native Americans from attending public schools) between 1865 and 1957.3 Nevada schools were not desegregated until the 1960’s. More recently, when Nevada’s boom went bust, communities of color were hardest hit by foreclosures, bankruptcies and unemployment. When the poverty rate nearly doubled in Nevada between the years 2000-2010, the disproportionate share was borne by people of color. Disparities in health outcomes, graduation rates and other leading indicators of social well-being continue to plague the Silver State. Ordinary people worked hard over the years to eradicate the worst forms of racism in Nevada. We can build on their efforts and make 21st century Nevada a state where all people have equal access to education, health care and economic resources In 2009, the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada released Nevada’s first report card to hold state decision-makers accountable for the votes they cast on bills related to racial equity.

  • 2013 Legislative Session Wrap-Up
    P.O. Box 1212, Carson City, Nevada 89702 www.nevadahomeschoolnetwork.com June 16, 2013 This was a busy year at the Nevada legislature for Nevada Homeschool Network! Since NHN was first formed in 2002 we’ve been involved in every legislative session. In 2003 and 2005 we worked on problems confronting homeschoolers, and of course in 2007 we successfully asked the legislature to pass one of the best homeschool laws in the country. While promoting legislation, we’ve also been active in every session to ask the legislature to either amend or in some cases to kill bills that would impinge on our homeschool and parental freedoms. This is a wrap-up on the five bills that consumed the majority of our time, beginning of course with SB314. This is the Parental Rights law that NHN promoted, so more ink will be splattered on that one, naturally! We hope this overview of our experiences at the legislature this session will give you an appreciation for the work that NHN does, since so much of it is unseen in real time. But more importantly, we hope this overview gives you an understanding of how important you are to the successes we’ve had at the Legislature. Thank you, and enjoy! SB314 – Parental Rights – SUCCESS! – Successfully Passed! For years we’ve maintained that homeschooling and the larger field of parental rights are non-partisan issues, and we’ve worked with both parties in all sessions. This session, even before November’s elections, we decided to ask Mo Denis (D) to sponsor our bill.
