  • Program 1 [2020]

    Our primary accomplishment for 2020 was qualification and passage of a ballot initiative to cap payday loan interest rates at 36%. 83% of Nebraska voters supported the measure and the new law went into effect in 2021. As part of these efforts, we invested in a media campaign to reach and turnout low-propensity voters of color in Omaha to vote in support of the initiative.

  • Raise the Wage Nebraska Initiative

    Our main accomplishment for 2022 was qualification and passage of the Raise the Wage Nebraska initiative. Over 25 Nebraska organizations and individual community leaders joined together to work on increasing Nebraska's minimum wage. The initiative will gradually raise Nebraska's minimum wage from $9 an hour to $15 an hour by 2026 and then index to inflation thereafter. 59% of Nebraska voters supported the measure and the law went into effect in 2023.
