Developers and extractive industries are hard at work putting their profits over our clean air, drinking water, and habitable climate.
- We're fighting developers pushing for a massive expansion of urban sprawl outside of the Las Vegas Valley.
- We're fighting the use of toxic aquatic herbicides to combat noxious weeds in Lake Tahoe because a residential development destroyed the largest natural tributary wetland at Lake Tahoe.
- We're fighting exploratory drilling projects in Nevada and the Eastern Sierra including Bodie Hills and Long Valley.
Donate today and support us speaking truth to power,with seemingly bottomless pockets, in 2023.
Thanks to donors like you, our Chapter is marching forward as we celebrate groundbreaking victories. You supported us as we:
- Gathered thousands of petition signatures and letters demanding a new strategy for urban development in Clark County to save water, promote climate-friendly public transit, and increase walkability.
- Established a 100 percent volunteer-led Northern Nevada Inspiring Connections Outdoors program for high school students in the Truckee Meadows, who might not otherwise get to hike, snowshoe, raft, and explore.
- Founded the Nevada Rail Coalition, bringing together unions, environmental and social justice organizations, and rail advocacy and community associations, to build an expanded, robust rail system in Nevada as the keystone of a low-carbon, environmentally sustainable and socially just transportation system.
At the Toiyabe Chapter we have over 6,000 grassroots members. If we're well-funded by folks like you across the region, there's no reason that 2023 can't be the year we make historic progress:
- With President Biden's open support of Avi Kwa Ame becoming a national monument, we will continue to raise awareness and build public support for the permanent protection of Avi Kwa Ame until the Bill is passed.
- We will advocate for Nevada and California to spend Bipartisan Infrastructure and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act funds on building electrification, meaningful mass transit solutions, infill and smart development, and renewable energy solutions.
- We will serve as an ally and partner to the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, the Nevada Environmental Justice Coalition, and our many other partners in Nevada, Lake Tahoe, and our California Chapter members.
Your financial support makes a real difference in how we protect the environment where Toiyabe Chapter members live, work, and play.
Local action makes all the difference. Thank you for entrusting us with your dreams for a healthy, thriving environment in Nevada and the Eastern Sierra.
Thank you!
