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.

TAKE ACTION
ARE YOU DEALING WITH A SNAP OVERPAYMENT?
You’re not alone. SNAP benefits are supposed to reduce food insecurity for low-income Nebraskans, not increase their financial hardship. Unfortunately, we know that around 7,000 Nebraska households deal with a SNAP overpayment (approximately $6.5 million) every year, often through no fault of their own. You can share your experience regarding Nebraska SNAP overpayments with us at Nebraska Appleseed. If you choose to fill out this form, our team might reach out to you to discuss your SNAP overpayment experience further.
We also have additional information available on our SNAP Overpayments page.
Protect Nebraskans’ Health Care – Extend Premium Tax Credits!
Congress recently passed and the President signed into law a devastating budget reconciliation bill that will rip away health care and food access from tens of thousands of Nebraskans in order to fund tax breaks for billionaires and sweeping deportations of everyday working people that will separate families.
Your voice is needed – tell our members of Congress to act NOW to ensure health coverage is affordable. Call or edit the email template to your members and tell them to:
Extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace’s enhanced Advance Premium Tax Credits (APTCs). The Marketplace provides health coverage to over 135,000 Nebraskans, and over 100,000 Nebraskans rely on APTCs to afford their care.
Your voice is important in building a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive Nebraska.
