Food & Hygiene Drive
We know many individuals and families in Omaha are facing real challenges when it comes to accessing basic necessities like food and hygiene items.
We’re inviting everyone who attends our meetings to bring a few essential items if possible. Canned goods, non-perishable foods, soap, toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, diapers, etc. - Let’s keep building a community where no one is left behind.
LaVista offers 'Blessing Bags'
The city of La Vista and the LaVista Community Foundation are offering blessing bags to neighbors affected by the SNAP benefits pause or government workers impacted by the shutdown.
If you or someone you know could benefit from a Blessing Bag, please reach out. Together, we can ensure that no one in our community goes without the basics.
No Partnerships With ICE
Nebraska is supporting Trump's mass deportation goals. Add your name and tell Gov. Pillen and other officials that these agreements must end.
If you would like a role in defending our rights, loved ones, and neighbors, then add your name to our growing movement.
Respect Nebraska Voters!
Gov. Jim Pillen opted Nebraska in to the new federal voucher program. Voters overwhelmingly rejected vouchers at the ballot box just months ago. He is ignoring us.
The program doesn't start until 2027 - plenty of time for him to honor the voters' wishes. Tell Pillen NO Public Dollars for Private Schools!
Did You Know?
Coverup At Social Security Administration
A whistleblower from the Social Security Administration revealed that Elon Musk’s DOGE uploaded all of our private Social Security data to an insecure private server. We don’t know why they did it, and we don’t know where that data is now. Democrats on the committee are demanding an investigation.
The whistleblower was forced to resign. It appears that Trump’s handpicked Social Security Commissioner is now engaging in a coverup. He’s not interested in protecting people who are counting on Social Security―he’s just another MAGA yes man.
Spotify Is Running Ads For ICE
Spotify is running ads for recruiting agents for ICE, the federal agency conducting mass deportations and surveillance of immigrant communities.
These ads target vulnerable populations, promise signing bonuses, and normalize fear & intimidation in our neighborhoods. Spotify claims these ads comply with their policy.

In an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, University of Michigan professor Justin Wolfers, responded to some of the Trump's claim that the country is “doing phenomenally well and enjoying the greatest economy we’ve ever had."
Omaha Food Drive - Through Fall & Winter
In one week more than 41,000 pounds of food and $600,000 in donations were received - and Mayor John Ewing says that amount will continue to increase.
Despite news of the SNAP benefits to become available according to Trump and USDA, it is still unclear when those benefits would show up for people.
