What we do
We Act!

Voting Rights Quilt Project!
Third Act Nevada is working with the Voting Rights Quilt Project, a new national initiative that encourages people to express and act on voting rights issues through fabric. A photo of your quilt-banner (sewn, glued, painted, etc, all great!) can go up on our national site, votingrightsquiltproject.org. And locally, you can exhibit it at a rally, in your yard, and to the press!

Climate Change is On Our Doorstep!
No one can forget the thick toxic smoke that poured over our beautiful Nevada landscape last summer and the raging wildfires that came perilously close to burning South Lake Tahoe. These very real threats remind us we are all connected and climate change is here. Third Act gives us a chance to turn our grief and fear into hope and collective action! This part of our website is coming soon....for now, check out the Resources page.

Join an Elders Going Deeper Zoom Session
As we take the stage in our Third Act of life and address the threats to our democracy and the climate emergency, we’d like to offer a chance to deepen our connections—to ourselves, to each other, and to our work by exploring the meaning of who we are and what we can do. We’ll announce this call on this site.
