Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada (c3)
Organization Description
The Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada was founded in 1994 to build a more fair and just Nevada that puts people and planet first. We organize with front line communities and directly impacted leaders to win community investments and policy changes that improve people’s lives. In 2004, PLAN founded the Nevada Immigrant Coalition. Our coalition members lobby locally and federally to stop anti-immigrant legislation from passing. More recently, with an immigrant-friendly trifecta in the Nevada legislature, we were able to be on the offensive and pass a series of bills that support immigrant families and students.
