Personhood
Comes To Nevada
Personhood Nevada has officially joined the chorus of 31 other states across America who are establishing Personhood for all people within their borders. This moment is one of the finest and proudest in our state's history as we begin the process of ensuring the right to live for all Nevadans. Never again will it be said in Nevada that some people enjoy rights others do not possess. Never again will we allow the injustice of discrimination to mar our laws, land and culture. Discrimination ends and civil rights begin with Personhood.
