Las Vegas, NV – In 2010, LYVEF began investing resources into local organizers who focus on economic and social justice issues, as well as nonpartisan voter registration, GOTV, election protection and election administration. We also focused a portion of our efforts on education around the Census. To that end community organizer Krysten Hughes was hired on in February as our Nevada State Based Apprentice to ramp-up our civic engagement and census activities
