Gov. Pillen’s actions are grossly irresponsible and entirely at odds with his claim that he wants to respect free speech.

Our attorney general should know better. Deploying military troops in response to civilians exercising their First Amendment rights is dangerous and escalatory.

ICE may be in our communities, but our rights don't disappear. We're watching this situation closely and working with partners to inform next steps. Regardless of our immigration status, all of us have rights and all of us belong.

❌LB415, a bill that would remove paid sick leave protections for 140,000 Nebraskans, will be up for a 2nd round of debate in the #NELeg tomorrow.
Contact your senator & tell them NO Nebraskan should have to choose between their health and their paycheck: bit.ly/NO_LB415

Students with the UNL Muslim Law Student Association were key voices in building support for making Nebraska's schools more welcoming. Their advocacy helped change state law.
We celebrate that progress this heritage month.

Today the ‘winner-take-all’ bill, LB 3, failed to overcome a filibuster. This is a major win for all Nebraskans.

Nebraska's split presidential electoral system survived an attempt to replace it with a winner-take-all model Tuesday as two Republicans joined Democrats in refusing to vote to stop a filibuster. journalstar.com/news/state-r…

On Tuesday, state senators will vote on a bill that aims to end our split electoral vote system. Nebraskans overwhelmingly opposed LB 3 at its hearing because they know our current system provides a meaningful vote and a more direct say.

Just months ago, nearly 75% of Nebraska voters approved the paid sick leave initiative. Today, most of our state senators voted to undermine that reform by exempting several groups of workers from earning paid sick leave. Make time today to contact your senator.
34 lawmakers advanced a bill that would overturn your vote and carve out exemptions for who can earn paid sick leave.
If they voted 🟢, they need to hear from you. Tell them to OPPOSE LB415 moving forward.
If they voted 🔴, thank them for supporting working families. #NEleg

Senators have voted LB 89 out of committee, the bill that mandates discrimination against transgender Nebraskans. It's clear lawmakers need to keep hearing the message that Nebraska is for all of us. Contact your senator.

Thanks to legislative progress and our clients' lawsuit defending it, Nebraskans can vote as soon as they’ve finished all terms of a felony sentence. Learn more at aclunebraska.org/voting-answ….

Nebraska lawmakers should be focused on investing in community solutions, not trying to charge younger kids as adults. We’re so grateful for all of the Nebraskans who are speaking up against LB 556 tonight.

Sen. Lippincott has prioritized LB 3, his bill to end Nebraska's system of splitting electoral votes. The current system helps ensure a meaningful vote, giving voters and communities a more direct say. We need to protect it.
