The Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada (PLAN) was founded in 1994 by Nevada activists to build a more fair and just Nevada. Since 1994, our organization has grown from 12 original founding member groups to a current membership of nearly 40 organizations. PLAN is recognized by the IRS as a not for profit 501c3 charitable organization. PLAN’s mission is to build a more fair and just Nevada that puts people and planet first. We organize with frontline communities and directly impacted leaders to advocate for policies and community investments that improve people’s lives.
PLAN Action Fund was founded in 2012 as the political, 501c4, arm of PLAN. PLAN Action seeks to transform progressive ideas into action through rapid response communications, legislative action, grassroots organizing, organizing advocacy, electoral organizing, and partnerships with other progressive leaders and organizations in Nevada.
