Campaigns & Initiatives

Across the nation, the federal government is attempting to dismantle long-standing protections for free speech, privacy, equality, and democracy. But freedom doesn’t just live in the courts or in Washington. It begins right here, in Nevada. Our cities, counties, and communities can be the first line of defense against federal overreach. ACLU of Nevada’s FIREwall for Freedom campaign is both a proactive and responsive strategy to protect our rights and our people from unlawful federal interference. When local leaders refuse to be complicit in unconstitutional acts, when city councils pass protections, and when neighbors look out for each other, that’s how democracy endures. Local policies, local leadership, and local courage can stop unconstitutional federal actions before they take root.

Nevada is rich with diversity. Our vibrant state calls to visitors from across the world, and many cultures call it home. With nearly 1 in 5 Nevadans having been born in another country, abusive immigration practices constitute a threat to Nevada families, our economy, and our very way of life.

Learn more about our campaign to make sure every eligible voter in Nevada can cast their ballot, that elections are conducted fairly, and that emerging threats to voting rights are confronted in courthouses, in city halls, and more.
