Hello! Last night, everyday Nevadans beat Hollywood billionaires, lobbyists, and even the Governor of Nevada. In a stunning defeat, the Nevada State Senate rejected the massive film tax credit expansion. A $120 million-per-year giveaway that would have drained our state budget, jeopardized vital services, and put corporate profits ahead of Nevada families. Make no mistake: this was the centerpiece of the special session. Powerful interests pulled out all the stops. The pressure on lawmakers was immense. And still, because Nevadans spoke out, we won. We were so proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with workers, teachers, students, and community members to stop this billionaire giveaway. We organized, educated, mobilized, and pushed back against the misinformation machine. Together, we helped ensure lawmakers understood precisely what was at stake: deficits of up to $260 million, cuts to essential services, and a tax credit scheme with a negative return on investment. This victory belongs to the people, but the fight doesn’t end here. Lobbyists and corporations with deep pockets never walk away quietly. They will be back, in the next legislative session, the next special session, or behind closed doors to try again. To keep pushing back against corporate giveaways and to keep fighting for a Nevada where public dollars serve the public good, we need you with us. Last night, we proved something important: When hard-working Nevadans organize, speak up, and refuse to be ignored, we win. Battle Born Progress is proud to be part of that coalition, and we’re ready for whatever comes next. Thank you for being in this fight with us. In solidarity, |
