#NationalNonprofitDay This weekend we wrapped up our 6-week youth leadership series with celebration and action, speaking out against Texas’ #redistricting plan that threatens to fracture communities and suppress voices. Every vote counts, and this fight belongs to us all.

Supporting action means preparing for it. Last night’s #CollectiveAction101 and sign-making session helped community members learn their rights and stay safe before making their voices heard. #ProtestSafety #KYR

Join us for our update on the 2025 Legislative Session! We’ll reflect on the session, discuss key bills, explore how policy decisions impact our daily lives and how we can continue building collective power together. #NVLeg2025

We stand with @seiu.org @seiuca.bsky.social against the unlawful detention of David Huerta, the cruel separation of families, violations of immigration rights, and the terrorizing of entire communities.

An injury to one is an injury to all.

📣 STATEMENT: We showed up. We spoke out. And we won’t be ignored.

NV Energy wants to hike our bills for the third year in a row, while working #NV families are already making impossible choices just to stay afloat.

🎥 “There’s a single thread that runs through all these stories. @NVEnergy’s greed is insatiable.”

Surrounded by ratepayers and community advocates, NCL's Comms Director Camalot Todd joined ratepayers to speak up for Nevadans who are being crushed by rising energy bills ⬇️

#CleanEnergy isn’t just for homeowners. #AB458 expands access to solar for families in affordable housing, especially benefitting AANHPI multigenerational households, to help lower bills, improve air quality, and ensure more Nevadans can benefit from #SolarPower. #NVLeg

One APIA Nevada @oneapianevada.bsky.social · May 6

From solar power to pedal power ☀️🚴‍♀️ Cycling on Sunshine brought together #CleanEnergy, community, and action. From net-zero buildings, recycling to federal tax incentives, we explored how everyday choices can lead to a greener and more affordable future. #BikeForTheFuture

May Day is Lei Day! We celebrated the first day of #AANHPIHeritageMonth with the Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander community by co-hosting a lei-making workshop and brief educational session on sustainability with @unlvewaluclub to honor culture, nature, and embrace the spirit of aloha. 🌺✨

Whether our communities welcome a new family member or care for their sick or elderly loved ones, no one should have to choose between their income or family members in times of need. #AB388 #NVLeg

One APIA Nevada @oneapianevada.bsky.social · Apr 2

"For families facing serious illness, the ability to take time off is not just a convenience—it’s a matter of survival. AB388 is a critical step toward creating a more equitable workplace environment for all Nevada citizens."

"Many heads of households are tasked with being caregivers to the family, including elderly family members. By providing an option for paid family leave for employees, we are giving people the opportunity to address emergency family situations without worrying about losing their income entirely."

One APIA Nevada @oneapianevada.bsky.social · Apr 2

#AB388 requires companies with 50+ employees to cover paid family leave, giving Nevadans essential time to care for their loved ones without worrying about loss of income—crucial for AANHPI families, 70% of whom are multigenerational. #NVLeg
