Our
Partners
In an increasingly interconnected world, the power of partnerships stands out as a fundamental cornerstone for achieving impactful and sustainable outcomes. For organizations like ours, forging strong partnerships is not just a strategic choice; it's a vital necessity that amplifies our mission's reach and depth.
Values
At Make the Road Nevada, we believe in the fundamental dignity and rights of every person. We stand for the freedom to move, thrive, and belong — promoting a society where migration is welcomed, and all individuals have the opportunity to reach their full potential. We are committed to building a community rooted in agency and empowerment, where everyone has the ability to make decisions about their lives, relationships, and future without fear or discrimination.
We uphold the importance of belonging and safety, advocating for policies that ensure all people have the right to stay in their communities with dignity and security. Equally, we champion fair, safe, and meaningful work environments where everyone can improve their quality of life. Lastly, we believe in the power of transformation—healing, collective liberation, and growth—and dedicate ourselves to creating a Nevada where everyone is valued, supported, and empowered to build a brighter future together.
Vision
We envision a Nevada where all communities—regardless of immigration status, race, gender, income, or background—have the freedom and resources to thrive. A state where our schools are safe and inclusive, our workplaces are fair and just, and our economy uplifts every working family.
We believe in a future rooted in solidarity, where those most affected by injustice lead the way toward a society built on equity, compassion, and collective power.
Mission
Make the Road Nevada builds the power of Latine and working-class communities to achieve dignity and justice through organizing, policy innovation, and transformative civic engagement.
We empower immigrant, LGBTQ+, and low-income Nevadans by advancing policies that protect families, expand opportunities, and dismantle systemic barriers to equity.
Our Story
Make the Road Nevada started on October 1, 2017, in the aftermath of the largest mass shooting in modern history: the Route 91 Harvest Festival massacre. Make the Road Nevada worked tirelessly to ensure that undocumented immigrants who were victims of this received the help and support they needed to heal, including assistance in applying for U-Visas. Despite facing barriers in the immigration process, Make the Road Nevada members successfully met with the Clark County Sheriff to tell their stories and advocate for their community's needs.
As a result, the Sheriff's office has quadrupled staffing in the U-Visa department and approved more than 67 U-Visa applications for Make the Road Nevada members. This work demonstrates the importance of advocacy and community support in ensuring that underserved populations receive the care and justice they deserve.
