Third Act Nevada invites you to “Save Democracy: Day of Action in Nevada,” featuring Rebecca Solnit and Bill McKibben.

About this event

Third Act Nevada invites you to participate in Defend Democracy Week to mobilize a huge turnout in Nevada to help progressives win! Join one of Third Act Nevada’s in-person events with Bill McKibben and Rebecca Solnit in the Reno area on October 28 and 29.  

We need to elect people who believe in voting rights, free and fair elections, and climate change; not people who deny climate change or want to steal elections. Nevadans and people nearby Nevada are welcome!

Please be up-to-date with your COVID vaccination and bring a mask.

What: “Save Democracy: Day of Action in Nevada,” featuring Rebecca Solnit and Bill McKibben. Conversation, canvassing, phone banking, letter-writing, and other activities.

When: Saturday, October 29, 11 am – 3 pm Pacific Time

Where: River School. 7777 White Fir Street, Reno, NV

Please RSVP here.  When you RSVP please let us know if you’d like to canvass or write letters/postcards.

Thanks to our collective efforts, we defeated the election stealers when they tried to make it harder to vote in Washoe County.  Let’s build on that momentum and win in Nevada this November!
