Dek: A new statewide survey of Black Nevadans reveals deep concern about economic stability, healthcare access, and the political climate shaping daily life under the current federal administration.
Brief: A 2025 statewide survey of 522 Black adults in Nevada, conducted by In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda, highlights the top concerns shaping Black life in the state. Respondents identified economic security, reproductive rights, racial justice, and access to quality healthcare as their most urgent priorities. The findings arrive as federal policy shifts continue to influence state-level protections and community well‑being. The report also underscores how Black Nevadans perceive the current political environment and its impact on their families, safety, and long-term opportunities.
Why It Matters for Black & POC Communities:
- Provides rare, Nevada-specific data on Black lived experiences and policy priorities.
- Offers a roadmap for community organizations, lawmakers, and advocates pushing for equitable legislation.
- Highlights the gap between federal policy shifts and the everyday realities of Black families navigating economic and health instability.
