Hello!

Today is Human Rights Day! A reminder that every person deserves dignity, safety, and fundamental freedoms that allow communities to thrive. That includes the right to healthcare. The right to an education. And the right to due process and fair treatment under the law, no matter where you come from or what you look like.

But in this moment, those rights are under attack.

The Trump Administration continues pushing policies that strip immigrant families of basic due process protections, weakening access to healthcare, and undermining the education system that millions of children rely on. Families seeking safety are met with cruelty instead of compassion. Communities are targeted instead of supported. And rights that should be universal are treated as optional.

Here in Nevada, we need leaders willing to reject these injustices, not echo or enable them. But instead of standing up for our communities, Governor Joe Lombardo has been complacent, quietly aligning himself with the Administration’s agenda and refusing to defend Nevada families whose rights are being eroded. When your rights are on the line, silence from elected leaders is not neutrality. It’s complicity.

That’s why the work of Battle Born Progress is so important.

On Human Rights Day, and every day, we must fight to ensure that:

• Healthcare is treated as a human right, not a privilege for the wealthy.

• Every Nevadan has access to quality education, no matter their zip code.

• Immigrant families receive due process, dignity, and the protections guaranteed under the Constitution.

• Communities have the truthful information they need to stand up against policies that harm them.

But we can’t do this work alone. We rely on supporters like you to keep these rights at the forefront of Nevada’s political conversation and to hold leaders accountable when they fail our communities.

This Human Rights Day, will you help defend the rights that define who we are as Nevadans?

Your gift fuels the work needed to push back against harmful agendas, uplift those most affected, and ensure Nevada remains a state where rights are protected—not stripped away.

Thank you for standing with us today and always.

In solidarity,
