Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada
The Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada (PLAN) is a non-partisan, non-profit organization. PLAN was founded in 1994 to bring together diverse and potentially competing organizations into one cohesive force for transformational change in Nevada. PLAN has grown from its 12 founding groups to a current membership of 30 organizations that include anti-poverty activists, children's advocates, people with disabilities, environmentalists, gay and transgender people, labor unions, people of color, and women. PLAN uses research, public education, leadership development and grassroots organizing to build power and create more humane solutions to Nevada’s  problems. PLAN’s mission is to build collective strategic action among coalition partners in order to deepen democracy and achieve greater social justice in Nevada. In addition, PLAN assists its member groups to build power through working together to bridge differences of class, race, immigration status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation and region. PLAN provides a combination of training, technical assistance and financial resources designed to mobilize a broad, diverse, power base PLAN has offices in Carson City, Las Vegas and Reno. PLAN Projects. Racial Equity Report Card PLAN partners with Western States Center to produce a Racial Equality Report  Card (RERC) while Nevada’s legislature is in session. The RERC examines legislation introduced during each session of Nevada’s legislature. It grades each chamber of the state legislature separately, as well as the Governor, on their responses to bills graded for the report card. Nevada Fair Mining Tax Nevadans for Fair Mining Taxes is a coalition dedicated to ensuring a stable and equitable revenue source for our state by undoing antebellum Constitutional provisions which allow the mining industry to evade paying its fair share of taxes. PLAN supported Question 2 in the 2014 election, which would have removed a  cap in the state constitution on mining taxes. The measure was defeated by a less than 1% margin. TransForm Nevada This group was formed in an effort to pass Assembly Bill 211; Nevada's trans-inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act. The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force provided training and support to TransForm Nevada to strategize around field efforts, grow their team of activists, and increase volunteer leadership PLAN Member Organizations.
