Learning About the Legislature with Senator Guereca
Curious about how laws are made and how you can make your voice heard? Join New Voices Third Spaces for a conversation with State Senator Guereca designed by young people, for young people.
This is your chance to learn how the Nebraska Legislature works, ask questions directly to an elected official, and discuss the issues that matter most to young people in our communities. Whether you're interested in advocacy, politics, or simply want to better understand how decisions are made, this event is a welcoming space to connect, learn, and be heard.
📅 Saturday, September 13
🕒 3:00–4:00 PM CST
📍 7601 Pacific Street
Come meet other young leaders, build community, and discover how your voice can help shape the future. No prior knowledge is needed, just bring your questions and your curiosity!
Power Building Summit
Every Nebraskan deserves freedom, equality, and respect. And when our voices are heard, our communities change for the better. That is why we are teaming up with trusted partners to host the Nebraska Power Building Summit next month.
Register now to join us in Kearney on Friday, Sept. 25th and Saturday, Sept. 26th.
This summit will bring together emerging and experienced leaders from across Nebraska to build the skills, relationships, and organizing capacity needed to strengthen our movement for the long haul.
Whether you are an experienced advocate or brand new to the work, there is a place for you here. We especially hope to welcome people from communities and backgrounds whose voices have too often been left out of spaces where decisions are made. Free lodging and gas stipends are available for eligible attendees. We will also have a facilitated live stream available from a satellite location in Omaha.
Whether you plan to join us in Kearney or Omaha, please register to help us with our planning! Registration closes Tuesday, Sept. 14.
Our communities are strongest when Nebraskans have the skills and relationships to organize together for change. Together we will learn, connect, and build what comes next.
We hope to see you there.
