Here’s your agenda for the rest of the week’s legislative happenings

Hi Friend, 

We mentioned earlier in the week that there’s a lot happening in Carson City! As promised, we have lots of updates for you and ways you can help for the rest of the week. Check out what is coming up for the next few days below! 

Before we get to the hearings happening the rest of this week, we're just THREE signatures away from prohibiting the purchase of a firearm for up to 10 years post-conviction of a hate crime, raising the age to buy an assault rifle, closing the loophole on ghost guns, and protecting our election sites from intimidation. We need YOUR help in urging Governor Lombardo to sign SB171, AB354, and AB355.

CALL GOVERNOR LOMBARDO AND TELL HIM TO PUT SAFETY FIRST!
