Who We Are

PLAN was founded in 1994 to bring together diverse and potentially competing organizations into one cohesive force for social, environmental and economic justice in Nevada. PLAN has grown from its 12 founding groups to a current membership of 37 organizations that include anti-poverty activists, children's advocates, disabled persons, environmentalists, LGBTQ organizations, labor unions, immigrant rights groups, youth, people of color and women.  PLAN uses research, public education, leadership development and grassroots organizing to build power and create more humane solutions to Nevada's problems, addressing such issues including racial, environmental and economic justice, immigration, welfare, and civic engagement.  PLAN also provides a combination of training, technical assistance and financial resources designed to mobilize a broad, diverse, progressive power base that changes the power structure in Nevada.
