WE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL NEBRASKANS
WE DO THIS THROUGH
PUBLIC POLICY
LEGAL ACTION
COMMUNITY ORGANIZING
Nebraskans know what’s best for Nebraska.
But too many politicians think they know better than the people who elected them.
The Respect Nebraska Voters ballot initiative will change the number of members of the Nebraska Legislature required to undo or change voter approved laws from two-thirds of the Legislature to a four-fifths supermajority.
It also protects our freedom to vote on important issues facing our communities by strengthening protections for the ballot initiative process, preventing politicians from passing laws that restrict the people’s ability to bring initiatives.
Sign up to volunteer for our signature collection campaign to get Respect Nebraska Voters on the November 2026 ballot.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY RESOURCES
Immigrant Nebraskans are an important part of our state’s families and communities, our history and our future. In June, ICE began conducting one of the largest and most devastating immigration raids in Nebraska history, and the destabilizing ripple effects are being felt by family members, friends, and neighbors across our state.
Various community partners have shared resources to help Nebraska community members know their rights, connect with legal representation, and pay for immigration bond funding.

Urge the Omaha City Council to Restore Fair Wages for Omaha workers
On Tuesday, June 16, the Omaha City Council held a public hearing on Councilmember Danny Begley’s proposal to ensure that Omaha residents are paid a fair wage by restoring the protections the state legislature removed this year.
Councilmember Begley’s proposed ordinance would reestablish the wage laws that Omaha voters widely supported by ensuring youth workers are paid a fair wage and removing the harmful cap on annual cost of living increases for workers in Omaha.
We need to send an emphatic message to the Omaha City Council. They must uphold the will of Omaha voters, reinstate the critical wage protections we passed in 2022, and protect the right of Omaha workers to earn a fair wage by supporting this ordinance. Please email your Omaha City Councilmember today to make your voice heard!
Tell Congress the Farm Bill must strengthen SNAP
The House Agriculture Committee recently advanced its version of the Farm Bill (the Farm, Food & National Security Act) out of committee, and it is likely to go to the House floor for a vote soon. The House’s Farm Bill does nothing to restore food assistance to the 10,000 Nebraskans who have already lost their food assistance since H.R.1 (or the”One Big Beautiful Bill Act”) passed. H.R.1 made unprecedented changes to SNAP – changing how SNAP is funded, cutting $187 billion and stripping away eligibility from many. Now, the Senate is starting to write their version of the Farm Bill.
We need a Farm Bill that matches Nebraska’s values – a Farm Bill that gets food to the people who need it most and restores the loss in SNAP assistance for thousands of Nebraskans recently cut off. Call or edit the email template to the right and tell your Nebraska members of Congress to not advance any version of the Farm Bill that doesn’t strengthen SNAP!
Your voice is important in building a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive Nebraska.
