Make the Road Nevada

Make the Road Nevada is a grassroots organizing and community advocacy organization dedicated to building power with working-class immigrant families, Latinx residents, LGBTQ+ individuals, and youth across Nevada. Established in 2017, the organization combines community organizing, policy advocacy, leadership development, and direct legal services to achieve social, economic, and racial justice.

The agency operates community centers in East Las Vegas and Reno, providing essential legal navigation and educational workshops. Its immigration justice team assists community members with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals renewals, naturalization applications, and family petitions, while hosting regular Know Your Rights sessions to protect vulnerable residents. Through its housing justice campaigns, the organization advocates for tenant protections, rent stabilization, and equitable housing policies while helping families navigate eviction challenges and access emergency rental aid.

Youth leadership is cultivated through the Youth Power Project, which trains high school and college students in grassroots organizing, legislative lobbying, and environmental justice. Organizers work alongside community members to address climate issues such as urban heat and clean energy access in frontline neighborhoods. Residents seeking legal resources or civic training can connect with the Las Vegas or Reno offices. Community members can get involved by attending town halls, volunteering on organizing committees, or contributing financial donations.
