Nevada
Make the Road Action Nevada (MRA-NV) builds power in Latinx and working class communities to achieve dignity and justice for all. MRA-NV focuses its engagement on issues that are most salient to its members, including pathways to citizenship, voter protections, and housing insecurity, and helps enlist voters to use their power at the ballot box.

In addition to its permanent and temporary paid staff, MRA-NV provides stipends to its volunteers so that they are able to take time off work to do outreach in the large and growing Latinx electorate that could determine control of all three branches of our federal government.
