Nevada Guide 2024

We all deserve the freedom to make our own decisions about our bodies, lives, and futures without barriers or political interference. In 2024, we know that freedom is at stake – for our reproductive health care and bodily autonomy, for building safe and inclusive schools, for protecting our democracy, and for investing in a real care economy, where all of us can thrive.

But the Nevada that MAGA Republicans are trying to create is one we must fight against at the ballot box. Our votes are not only for candidates, but for freedom to access health care, schools that teach honest curricula and protect students’ right to be themselves, the ability to care for our loved ones, an open and fair democracy, unbiased and diverse federal courts, and an economy that uplifts all women and people of color while making millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share.

Republicans have shared their dangerous and extreme Project 2025 playbook for America, which includes an unprecedented slate of policies that would abolish fundamental rights for Nevadans and folks across the country – particularly hurting hardworking families and seniors to benefit the super-rich and corporations. Candidates who support Project 2025 want to criminally charge people experiencing miscarriages, abolish overtime pay, and roll back health insurance protections for pre-existing conditions. And that’s just the beginning.

Nevadans have a huge opportunity to elect candidates that support an equitable, just vision for our state, as well as a chance to directly impact policy through ballot initiatives. Voters like you can create a state constitutional right to abortion, defend the right to vote, and create a more supportive environment for teachers. Creating a constitutional right to abortion is our best hope to ensure we can challenge the fetal personhood piece of the GOP platform, a legal workaround which would effectively ban abortion across the country.

There’s a lot of work to do, and we need to elect the leaders who will do it. If we show up and speak out, this election could be a gateway to expanded child care, better elections, and greater economic security.

There is more at stake this election than who will be President. Candidates up and down the ballot have committed to creating a Nevada more aligned with and committed to gender equity. Now it’s up to us to use our votes to support that vision.
