Nevada moms attend Play-In for Climate Action in DC.

On July 23, 2024, Moms Clean Air Force Nevada organizer Mary Wagner traveled to Washington, DC, for our annual Play-In for Climate Action. The Play-In included a morning of purposeful play at the National Children’s Museum, as well as a press conference about the importance of prioritizing children’s health in our changing climate.

During the press conference, Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan (VA-04) introduced a resolution calling attention to children’s unique vulnerabilities to extreme weather—and advocating for urgently needed adaptations to keep kids safe.

Following the morning at the museum, Moms traveled by electric school bus to the Capitol to meet with their elected officials. Moms Clean Air Force National Field Manager Celerah Hewes joined Mary to meet with Representative Dina Titus (NV-01) and Senators Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez-Masto about protecting children’s health in our changing climate and reducing our use of plastics.

Nevada mom speaks at Route Zero event in Las Vegas.

On February 29, 2024, Moms Clean Air Force Nevada organizer Mercedes McKinley joined State Senator Dina Neal, Melissa Ramos from the American Lung Association, and Paul Bordenkircher from the Nevada Electric Vehicle Association to call for strong federal Clean Car Standards during a Route Zero event in Las Vegas.

During the press conference, Mercedes shared her experiences growing up in East Las Vegas, with its high pollution levels, and her hopes for a better future for her daughter.

“My daughter and other children in this country deserve the chance to breathe cleaner air than what we’re breathing today.”

Nevada moms join members of Moms Clean Air Force across the country to demand stronger protections for soot pollution.

In February 2023, more than 60 Moms Clean Air Force staff and members, representing 18 states and DC, testified before EPA at a hearing on proposed federal standards for soot pollution. EPA’s soot proposal doesn’t go far enough to protect our children and communities from avoidable harms. Soot pollution is extremely dangerous and no amount of it is safe for us to breathe.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada coordinators Jennifer Cantley and Mercedes McKinley offered testimony.

Nevada families join Moms Clean Air Force members across the country to urge EPA to finalize strong methane standards that protect children’s health.

On January 10, 11, and 12, 2023, more than 60 Moms Clean Air Force staff and members from 21 states and Washington, DC, spoke out at EPA’s virtual public hearing about its updated proposal to cut methane and other harmful pollutants from new and existing oil and gas operations. The updated proposal from EPA would reduce methane pollution from sources covered by the rule by 87% below 2005 levels. It would also strengthen leak detection and repair requirements, continue to require equipment not to emit methane, address high-emission incidents with a new monitoring response program, and require that abandoned wells are subject to inspections until they are closed.

At the hearing, Moms applauded the updated rule but called on EPA to make it even stronger by fully eliminating pollution from routine flaring and ensuring frontline communities have the tools they need to hold polluters accountable.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada coordinator Jennifer Cantley and two of her sons offered testimony. In her comment, Jennifer talked about the impact of air and climate pollution on her family’s health:

“Here in Nevada, we experience climate change as increasingly intense wildfires. The oil and gas operations that leak methane also leak other toxic air pollutants that can cause serious health problems, such as heart and lung diseases and asthma attacks. I’m especially aware of this, because I have asthma and COPD and two out of my three children developed asthma within the first three years of their lives, as well.”

Nevada moms join Moms Clean Air Force members across the country to support strong standards for tailpipe pollution from trucks.

On April 12, 13, and 14, dozens of Moms Clean Air Force staff and members from 18 states and Washington, DC, spoke out at EPA’s virtual public hearing about its proposal to clean up tailpipe pollution from heavy-duty trucks and buses. EPA’s trucks proposal is a welcome step forward but doesn’t go far enough. At the hearing, moms asked EPA to further strengthen the standards for heavy-duty vehicle pollution, to better protect children, people with asthma, older adults, and other vulnerable groups from the health harms of air pollution.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada coordinator Jennifer Cantley, her son Joey, and Supermom Takayla Antonio offered testimony. In her comments, Jennifer asked EPA to do better:

“So, while the EPA’s proposal is a welcome step forward, for so many communities, I have to say it doesn’t go far enough. The proposal must be strengthened, to better protect children, people with asthma, and other vulnerable groups.” –Jennifer Cantley

Nevada moms join Moms Clean Air Force members across the country at a virtual EPA hearing to support restoring the legal foundation of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards.

On February 24, 2022, Moms Clean Air Force Nevada joined dozens of Moms Clean Air Force staff and volunteers from 15 states and DC to deliver testimony at EPA’s public hearing on its proposal to restore the appropriate and necessary finding of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. The mercury standards, finalized in 2012, are a public health necessity. They protect communities across the country from mercury and other harmful air pollution from power plants.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada coordinator Jennifer Cantley offered testimony. In her comments, Jennifer talked about fishing in the Carson River as a child:

”I grew up in Gardnerville, an even smaller rural community with the beautiful Carson River flowing off the Sierra Mountains. I have many memories of playing and fishing with my family and friends in the river as a young child up until the age of seven, when my mom told my brother and me that we could longer play in the river due to the pollution contamination. Because if this, I cannot pass down and share the memories of the river. This area is now a Superfund site that spans 330 square miles, including 130 miles of the Carson River into Lyon, Storey, Carson, Washoe, and Churchill Counties in Western Nevada.”

Nevada moms join Moms Clean Air Force members across the country to tell EPA to finalize strong methane regulations.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada joined 38 Moms Clean Air Force staff and volunteers from 13 states and DC to deliver testimony at EPA’s 3-day public hearing about the proposed rule to cut methane and other harmful air pollutants from new and existing oil and gas operations in November and December 2021.

Methane is the main component of natural gas and a potent greenhouse gas accelerating climate change. Quickly and significantly reducing methane is one of the best levers we have to slow the rate of climate change and help clean up the air. If finalized, EPA’s proposed rule would establish the first national standards limiting methane pollution from the nation’s nearly one million existing oil and gas operations.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada organizer Jennifer Cantley and a volunteer from McDermitt offered testimony. Read Jennifer’s full testimony here.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada organizer Jennifer Cantley honored as Northern Nevada Progressive Activist of the Year.

On November 3, 2021, Battle Born Progress recognized the work of Moms Clean Air Force Nevada organizer Jennifer Cantley at its annual fundraising event, Celebrate Progress. Jennifer received the Progressive Activist of the Year Award for her work with the Atsa Koodakuh wyh Nuwu (People of Red Mountain) of the Fort McDermitt Reservation, who are fighting to protect their community from the Thacker Pass lithium mining project.

In her acceptance remarks, Jennifer spoke not just about the inspiration for her work in Thacker Pass but also about her efforts to get air quality monitors installed in rural Nevadan communities:

“Moms Clean Air Force has made me a fierce advocate to protect clean air here in Nevada and make sure that all families—Black, brown communities, low-income communities—we all have the same information. So we know what type of air we’re breathing, that our children are breathing.”

Nevada moms join Moms Clean Air Force members across the country to tell EPA to set strong near-term standards for climate pollution from cars.

In August 2021, Moms Clean Air Force Nevada joined more than 30 Moms Clean Air Force staff and volunteers from 13 states and DC to deliver testimony at EPA’s public hearing about strengthening near-term greenhouse gas emissions standards for cars and light trucks.

Transportation is the largest source of climate pollution in the US, making up 29% of all carbon dioxide pollution. Cars and light trucks account for 58% of all transportation-related climate pollution, and 17% of total US climate pollution. The EPA’s proposal to cut climate pollution from cars in the near terms seeks to repair years of backsliding from the auto industry. Moms spoke out in favor of acting with urgency to accelerate the transition to zero-pollution vehicles.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada organizers Cinthia Moore and Jennifer Cantley offered testimony.

Let’s Get Rolling Electric School Bus Tour arrives in Nevada.

In the summer of 2021, Moms Clean Air Force Nevada hosted electric school bus and transit events in Las Vegas. These events were part of a nationwide push to upgrade old school buses with better technology to reduce children’s exposure to harmful diesel exhaust and climate pollution.

Transportation is the largest source of global warming pollution in our country, which makes electrification of buses, cars, and trucks critical to solving the climate crisis. Electrifying our nation’s school bus fleet will also clean up the air for children, student athletes, and drivers inside school buses, where harmful fumes may be concentrated higher than outside the bus.

Assemblywoman Susie Martinez, North Las Vegas Councilmember Isaac Barron, Mi Familia Vota’s Cecia Alvarado, and 1 Sun Solar Electric’s Louise Helton joined Moms Clean Air Force field organizer Cinthia Zermeño Moore for a press event at the North Las Vegas City Council Chambers on July 21.

Watch the replay.

For a virtual school bus press conference on August 10, Cinthia was joined by Clark County Commissioner (District F) and Vice Chair of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada Justin Jones, Nevada State Senator Pat Spearman, the Nevada Conservation League’s Verna Mandez, Chispa Nevada’s Rudy Zamora, and Blue Bird Corporation’s Albert Burleigh.

Moms Clean Air Force joins Congressman Horsford’s Nevada Equity Cabinet.

Cinthia Zermeño Moore, national EcoMadres lead and Moms Clean Air Force field organizer based in Las Vegas, is representing Moms Clean Air Force on Congressman Steven Horsford’s Nevada Equity Council. The council, comprising community leaders from Nevada’s Fourth Congressional District, was formed with the mission to “redress systemic racism and inequality in federal policies and advance justice for all Nevada families.” As a council member, Cinthia is working to ensure Congressman Horsford’s policies protect underserved communities from outsize health and climate impacts.

“As a Latina mother of a four year old who suffers from respiratory issues, especially during periods of extreme heat or poor air quality, I understand the importance of working on climate change solutions that will protect the health of all Nevada’s children. Black and Brown communities pollute the least but suffer the most from the climate crisis because of where we work, live, and go to school. I look forward to collaborating with Congressman Horsford and the rest of the Equity Cabinet to address the impacts that environmental injustice has on underserved communities.” —Cinthia Zermeño Moore

Nevada moms call on EPA to set strong standards for methane pollution.

In June 2021, Nevada moms joined Moms Clean Air Force staff and volunteers from across the country to participate in EPA’s listening sessions on its upcoming oil and natural gas methane rule. The listening sessions were a unique opportunity for environmental justice and frontline communities to weigh in ahead of the proposed rulemaking. Moms advocated for at least a 65% reduction in methane pollution from oil and gas operations, compared to 2012 levels, no later than 2025.

Cinthia Moore, Moms Clean Air Force Nevada organizer and EcoMadres lead, offered testimony. Cinthia spoke about extreme heat, fueled by climate change, descending on her hometown of Las Vegas:

“Due to the extreme heat that we are experiencing, and the mega drought, there has been an increase in wildfires. In just one week, we had two back-to-back wildfires surrounding the Las Vegas valley. The smoke from the wildfires made it nearly impossible to see the mountains that surround our valley, or even the Strip. However, this week, we are not just suffering from the effects of smoke from surrounding wildfires in our city, but also, there is smoke coming into our city from a wildfire in Arizona. Children here are gasping for a breath of fresh air. Protecting public health means keeping everyone’s air clean and safe to breathe, and cutting methane pollution from the oil and gas industry is essential to this effort.”

Nevada moms join members of Moms Clean Air Force across the country to tell EPA to slash climate pollution from cars.

In June 2021, Moms Clean Air Force Nevada joined more than 40 Moms Clean Air Force staff and volunteers from 16 states and DC to deliver testimony at EPA’s first climate-related public hearing since President Biden took office. The hearing was about EPA’s proposal to restore long-standing state authority to protect residents from climate pollution from cars—something the previous administration had stripped away. EPA wants to once again give California, and any states that choose to adopt California’s standards, permission to set stricter climate pollution standards for cars and light trucks. Reinstating state authority to set tailpipe emissions standards is an important first step for reducing pollution from the transportation sector, the nation’s leading source of climate-warming carbon pollution.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada organizers Cinthia Moore and Jennifer Cantley, plus Jennifer’s 11-year-old son, Joey, offered testimony.

Cinthia spoke about the impact of air pollution in Latino communities:

Read Cinthia’s full testimony HERE.

Joey offered the perspective of a child looking toward his future:

We need to protect our land, air, and all earthlings, to ensure we are doing this right before we cause more damage. I urge you to keep these [clean car] standards to ensure the greatest reductions in climate pollution as possible for future generations.

Moms fight lithium mining pollution in Nevada communities.

In the summer of 2021, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) held two public hearings to gather community input on the air and water pollution control permits for the proposed lithium mine at Thacker Pass. These hearings were scheduled in response to intense pressure from the impacted communities neighboring the nearly two-square-mile open-pit mine planned for the ancestral lands of the people now residing at the Fort McDermitt Paiute Shoshone Reservation.

Nevada moms joined with these communities in calling on Governor Sisolak and the NDEP to hold public hearings, and we were there at the hearings to ensure Nevada does not sacrifice the health and the environment of its local communities for lithium mining. Local Tribal members, ranchers, and environmentalists are seriously concerned about lithium mining’s potential to pollute the land, water, and air.

In advance of the public hearings, the NDEP held a virtual community meeting on April 22, which you can watch here, and a community meeting in Orovada on May 25. Find out more here.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada joins Congressman Horsford’s Environmental and Conservation Advisory Council.

Nevada field organizer Cinthia Zermeño Moore is representing Moms Clean Air Force on Congressman Steven Horsford’s Environmental and Conservation Advisory Council, which advises the congressman on crafting strong environmental and energy policy. In this capacity, Cinthia is working to ensure our children’s and our communities’ health will remain top priorities for Congressman Horsford.

Cinthia participated in her first council meeting on March 26, 2021.

Moms Clean Air Force supports the Clean Cars Nevada initiative.

On January 14, 2021, Moms Clean Air Force participated in the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) virtual listening session on Clean Cars Nevada, an initiative that would provide Nevadans with more choices for low- and zero-emission passenger cars and light-duty trucks offered at dealerships across the state beginning in 2024. Transportation is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, both nationally and in Nevada, making the sector a significant contributor to the climate crisis Nevadans are already experiencing. The Clean Cars Nevada initiative will help advance the state’s greenhouse gas reduction goals and reduce harmful air pollution from cars and light-duty trucks that impacts health.

Here is what Moms Clean Air Force organizers had to say during the listening session:

“The Latino community is often unjustly left behind when it comes to conversations about policies related to climate change and air pollution despite being disproportionately impacted by pollution because of where they live, learn, work, and play. As Nevada considers the Clean Car Nevada initiative, the state needs to be actively engaging, listening, and learning from Latino communities through an environmental justice and equity lense.” —Cinthia Moore, Nevada field organizer and EcoMadres co-leader

“My two sons and I all have asthma, and the essential act of breathing is something that we cannot take for granted. We depend on clean air to stay healthy, which is why I support the Nevada Clean Car Standards, an initiative that will cut harmful air pollution from the transportation sector. I urge our state to prioritize cleaning up our air to protect all Nevadans’ health and safety.” —Jennifer Cantley, Nevada field organizer

Nevada moms work to shut down the Tahoe Western Asphalt plant.

In October 2020, the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) shut down the Tahoe Western Asphalt plant in Carson City, on the border of Lyon County, Nevada. Nevada moms worked tirelessly for three years to protect local communities from this facility’s toxic emissions, which could include harmful carcinogens and neurotoxins, such as benzene, naphthalene, and volatile organic compounds. We registered complaints with the Carson City Board of Supervisors and the DEP until the state began its investigation into the facility in the spring.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada member Matthew Wilkie had this to say about this important win for his community:

“Thank you Moms Clean Air Force for helping to protect my family, my community, and my neighborhood. The asphalt factory in Carson City had been pouring toxins into our community for far too long, without anybody holding them accountable. With the help of Moms Clean Air Force and brave community members who spoke up, we brought awareness to the lack of accurate air monitoring systems in our county and all rural communities in Nevada. And finally, the asphalt factory was shut down. We know our job is not finished, and we will continue to work together to fight for clean air and environmental justice in communities across the state.”

Moms Clean Air Force applauds the Nevada Climate Initiative.

In August 2020, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak launched the Nevada Climate Initiative, a collaboration among public, private, and nonprofit entities to develop a State Climate Strategy for reducing climate pollution that includes innovative solutions to protect our natural resources and build resilience across our communities. As part of the initiative, Nevada has committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with interim goals of a 28% reduction by 2025 and a 45% reduction by 2030.

The governor hosted a series of listening sessions to discuss various elements of the initiative in the fall, and Moms Clean Air Force was invited to participate in the sessions on renewable energy, transportation, air quality, and climate justice. Las Vegas organizer Cinthia Moore leads the Nevada Climate Initiative Committee for the Nevada Environmental Justice Coalition, and in this role, she organized more than 30 advocates representing coalition groups to join the climate justice listening session and provide comments. Nevada moms and our partners were proud to use our voices in the listening sessions to ensure that the recommendations made and ultimately implemented in the climate initiative prioritize equity and our children’s health.

Nevada moms join Moms Clean Air Force members from across the country to demand EPA protect our families from dangerous smog.

On August 30 and September 1, 2020, Moms Clean Air Force Nevada joined more than 50 Moms Clean Air Force staff and volunteers from 14 states and DC to deliver testimony at the EPA’s virtual public hearing on ground-level ozone, or smog. Smog is a widespread and largely preventable form of air pollution that is a powerful lung irritant and asthma trigger. In July 2020, in the midst of a global respiratory pandemic, EPA chose to keep the standards for smog the same—in spite of strong evidence showing significant health harm at levels below the current standards—and opened a public comment period that would be considered notably short even if we were not in the midst of a global respiratory pandemic. This continues a disturbing trend at EPA, led by Administrator Andrew Wheeler, of sidelining science, ignoring environmental injustice, and stifling public participation in the rulemaking process.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada organizer Jennifer Cantley and 7 volunteers from across the state offered testimony. Listen to Jennifer’s testimony here.

Rep. Steven Horsford joins our 2020 Stay In and Speak Out for Climate Action.

This year, we aren’t playing around. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we aren’t holding our happy, crowded, buzzing, and bubbling annual Play-In for Climate Action in Washington, DC. Instead, we’re asking legislators across the country to join us for virtual events and conversations with their constituents to talk about air pollution, climate action and what we can do to fight the climate crisis where we live.

On August 12, Congressman Steven Horsford joined Nevada field organizers Cinthia Moore and Jennifer Cantley and moms and children from Nevada’s 4th District to discuss air pollution, climate change, and how the congressman is working to protect our families from these threats that impact health and well-being.

Nevada moms join members of Moms Clean Air Force across the country to demand stronger protections against deadly soot.

In May 2020, Moms Clean Air Force Nevada joined more than 65 Moms Clean Air Force staff and volunteers from 18 states and DC to deliver testimony at the EPA’s virtual public hearing on PM 2.5, or deadly soot. In April 2020, Trump’s EPA proposed to retain the current standards for particle pollution, ignoring science and putting thousands of lives at risk. Even in the midst of a national public health emergency from COVID-19, moms participated in the public hearing in record numbers. It’s one of many ways Moms Clean Air Force Nevada is continuing to engage in serious and consequential advocacy and outreach during the coronavirus pandemic.

Nevada organizers Jennifer Cantley and Cinthia Moore offered testimony, as did Moms Clean Air Force members from around the state.

Clark County pauses 50,000-acre development to allow for public comment on climate impacts.

As a founding member of the Nevada Environmental Justice Coalition (NEJC), Moms Clean Air Force is working in communities across the state to achieve transparency in local government decisions about development. The coalition had its first major win in Clark County, where in 2020 the County Commission put its efforts to develop 50,000 acres on hold and launched the Transform Clark County initiative.

Transform Clark County is an effort to use community and stakeholder input to rewrite the county’s outdated and cumbersome Master Plan and Development Code. The initiative is an important opportunity for the public to engage in shaping a sustainable future for Clark County, which is home to the Las Vegas Strip. Las Vegas organizer Cinthia Zermeño Moore is working with the NEJC to ensure that the public and Moms Clean Air Force members are informed on the different ways they can participate in this process.

Nevada organizer Cinthia Zermeño Moore speaks out against the alarming number of EPA regulatory rollbacks during the COVID-19 crisis.

As our country battles COVID-19, Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), led by Andrew Wheeler, has continued to move forward dangerous rollbacks that undermine the health of all Americans, but especially those most vulnerable to COVID-19. Nevada organizer Cinthia Zermeño Moore elevated this issue in the Los Angeles-based Hispanic L.A.

Cinthia writes :

“By allowing more pollution in our air, our body’s ability to fight infection is reduced, so there is an increased risk of coronavirus-related complications. Exposure to air pollution can make asthma worse and our lungs more vulnerable to infection. In addition, air pollution increases the risk of hospitalization for pneumonia. In the midst of the global pandemic, there has never been a clearer indication of the importance of clean air as the basis for good public health.”

Moms Clean Air Force helps Nevada push for bold climate legislation.

In November 2019, Congressman Donald McEachin (VA-04) introduced the 100% Clean Economy Act of 2019 with Representatives Deb Haaland (NM-01), Debbie Dingell (MI-12), Earl Blumenauer (OR-3), Paul Tonko (NY-20), and Chellie Pingree (ME-01). This ambitious national bill aims to eliminate all climate pollution—including from transportation, electricity, buildings, and agriculture—by no later than 2050.

In the months leading up to the release of the bill, Nevada moms met with Members of Congress across the state to urge them to join as co-sponsors. Moms Clean Air Force Nevada thanks Representative Steven Horsford (NV-04) for being among the over 150 original co-sponsors leading on this issue.

Click here to learn more about the bill.

Governor Sisolak takes strong steps toward meeting the state’s goal to cut climate pollution 45% by 2030.

On November 22, 2019, Governor Sisolak issued an Executive Order directing state agencies to develop policy to meet pollution reduction targets set in the earlier in the year. The state will evaluate for the first time how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors of the economy — including energy, transportation, and building efficiency.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada proudly stood alongside the Governor during the press conference following the announcement. Reno Field Organizer, Jennifer Cantley, issued the following statement:

“Moms are thrilled Governor Sisolak is working on strong policy plans through today’s Executive Order, which will chart a path to carbon pollution reduction to protect the health and future of our children, and bring us closer to climate safety. While the Trump administration attacks safeguards that clean up the air and exits the Paris Climate Agreement, the Governor is taking specific steps to reduce emissions in Nevada.”

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada celebrates commitment of 100% renewable energy by 2050.

On Earth Day 2019, Nevada moms had much to celebrate. Governor Steve Sisolak signed a bill to transition the state to 100% renewable energy by 2050 and 50% by 2030, making Nevada the fourth state to commit to 100% renewable energy.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada was invited to attend the signing of this landmark bill, and member of the Kids Clean Air Force, Joey Cantley, was even given the signed bill.

Thank you to Governor Sisolak and Nevada Senator, Chris Brooks, for your commitment to addressing climate change and protecting the health and future of our state’s children!

Nevada joins the U.S. Climate Alliance, becoming the 23rd state to commit to meeting the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada proudly stood beside Governor Steve Sisolak in March 2019 as he announced that Nevada will join the U.S. Climate Alliance. As one of only two climate groups invited to speak at the press conference by the Governor, Nevada organizer, Jennifer Cantley, discussed the vital importance of taking action on climate change to protect the health and safety of Nevada’s children.

Senator Jacky Rosen pledges to support clean energy to protect children’s health:

In December 2018, staff from the offices of Senator Jacky Rosen, Representative Dina Titus, and Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto attended an EcoMadres cafecito held at the Alliance Against Diabetes Clinic in Las Vegas. EcoMadres is a collaboration between Moms Clean Air Force and GreenLatinos. Senator Rosen pledged to support the work of Moms Clean Air Force and move Nevada to a clean energy economy.

Investing in clean energy for our homes.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada is speaking out against the expansion of methane gas infrastructure in our state, raising awareness about the need for clean energy solutions for our families, and working to increase electrification in our homes. Nevada families need greater investments in transitioning homes to electric energy and building out locally produced clean energy. We do not need our state to spend billions of dollars to import methane gas from other states. Local investments will help us to clean up the air in our homes and bring jobs and opportunities to our communities.

Protecting our children from particle and ozone pollution.

Moms Clean Air Force Nevada is working with the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection’s Air Bureau to get air quality monitors installed at schools and in other public locations in the rural communities surrounding Carson City, with the hopes to continue east to help all rural communities. These communities do not currently have a way to monitor air quality, but as the wildfire and heat seasons grow longer and contribute to periods of increased particle and ozone pollution, it is becoming ever more important for Nevadans to have the tools they need to assess local air quality. Air monitors can help protect vulnerable populations, including children and people with asthma and other lung diseases, from pollution that is otherwise invisible.

Working to transition Nevada’s school bus fleets to electric.

In 2017, Moms Clean Air Force Nevada joined Chispa Nevada in their campaign to convert our state’s dirty diesel school bus fleets to electric. This campaign is a personal mission for Nevada organizer Jennifer Cantley, who drives her son to and from school every day because diesel fumes can trigger his asthma attacks.

By spring 2019, Moms Clean Air Force members were testifying in the Nevada state legislature in favor of Senate Bill 299. This bill set aside part of the state’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Demonstration program to develop a pilot program for electric school buses across the state. It also authorized the state to offer incentives of up to 75% of the cost of a new electric school bus. The bill passed and was signed into law by Governor Sisolak in May 2019. Our Nevada members worked to ensure the authorized pilot programs were launched in Carson City and Douglas County. Now, we are also working with local school districts to make sure they are taking advantage of federal funds from EPA’s Clean School Bus Program.

Advocating for climate education in Reno schools.

Moms Clean Air Force has teamed up with Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve on a climate education program in Reno schools. Nevada organizer Jennifer Cantley launched a school tour in April 2019 in schools throughout the city.

Organizing Latina moms through EcoMadres.

Launched in September 2018, the EcoMadres program brings Latina moms together to address issues of clean air, climate, and toxics that affect the health of Latino children and families. EcoMadres is a collaboration between Moms Clean Air Force and a number of partner organizations across the US.

We host cafecitos around Reno, Carson City, and Las Vegas that provide opportunities for the community to discuss air quality and climate change. We also invite local officials to hear about the issues that concern the families they represent.

Connecting Nevada moms to local leadership.

In Nevada, Moms Clean Air Force works to connect moms to their mayors and local city officials through Moms & Mayors.

The program helps moms share the changes they want to see in their communities with their mayors and other local officials. The goal is to achieve healthier communities—whether through addressing local air pollution issues, adding community solar projects, developing a strong city sustainability plan, and more.

At the 2018 Moms & Mayors events in Reno and Las Vegas, more than 260 Nevada residents came together for a day of celebration and action. The 2019 Moms & Mayors event was held on May 11th.

We’re leading the way on renewable energy.

The November 2020 election marked a big climate change win for Nevada. Nevada voters passed a ballot initiative, with 58% of statewide votes, to amend the state constitution to mandate that electric utility companies switch to a minimum of 50% renewable energy by 2030.

As the state with the highest solar potential and sixth highest solar capacity and generation, Nevada is incredibly well positioned to take on this challenge.

Climate change is putting our families at risk.

Already the driest state in the United States, Nevada will likely face even more intense periods of drought as the planet warms. Nevada’s mountain snowpack—high altitude snow that accumulates throughout the winter—is a critical source of water for Nevada families and agriculture. With hotter winters and less winter snow, the snowpack is getting smaller and leading to increased water scarcity. In 2015, the US Agriculture Department even declared the drought in Nevada a natural disaster.

Reno and Las Vegas are the top two fastest warming cities in the United States.

Rising temperatures in Reno and Las Vegas put families at risk from heat-related illness and death. This is especially true for older adults and young children, who are more sensitive to heat.

Our children breathe polluted air.

Las Vegas and Reno experienced 47 and 34 code orange days respectively for ozone pollution from 2019 to 2021. This high number of unsafe ozone days caused Clark and Washoe Counties to receive an F grade from the American Lung Association for their air quality.

Over 40,000 children in Clark County (Las Vegas) have asthma. Las Vegas is the 15th most polluted city in the country, meaning these children with asthma face dangerous breathing days too often.

We are fighting for stronger protections so that children in Nevada don’t have to play inside. During the summer, smog, or ground-level ozone, is worse because it forms in the atmosphere when pollutants combine with heat and sunlight. Our kids should be able to play outside safely all summer!
