WE DID IT! NEBRASKANS VOTED FOR PAID SICK LEAVE!
Voters across Nebraska passed Initiative 436, a citizen-led ballot initiative that will give all workers the ability to earn and use paid sick leave. The initiative passed with 74% of the vote.
Thanks to our Paid Sick Leave for Nebraskans coalition partners, hundreds of volunteer hours, bold voices of directly-impacted workers, the 138,000+ Nebraskans who signed the petition — and the advocacy of supporters like you – working families in Nebraska soon won’t have to face the impossible choice of taking care of their health or missing a paycheck.
Initiative 436 goes into effect beginning on October 1, 2025.

Say NO to LB258!
When Nebraskans went to the ballot box in 2022, we voted to gradually raise our state’s minimum wage to $15 per hour by January 2026 — and to automatically adjust it for cost of living increases starting in 2027. More than 300 Nebraskans businesses also signed on to support Initiative 433, acknowledging the many reasons why paying workers a fair wage is good for business and good for the economy.
LB258, introduced by Senator Jane Raybould, would harm workers by severely weakening Nebraska’s minimum wage law by carving out a subminimum wage for workers under the age of 20 AND restricting the cost of living increases that Nebraskans voted for.
Will you email your senator and tell them to oppose LB258?
Tell Congress NO to slashing health care & food programs to fund separating families!
Right now, Congress is considering budget legislation that would slash healthcare, food access, and other essential public services – in order to fund sweeping deportations of longtime community members and to expand tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and large corporations.
Now is the time to tell our members of Congress that Nebraskans support stability for immigrant community members and whole communities, NOT budgets that would cut health care, take food off the table, and separate local families and neighbors who are stuck in limbo because of long-outdated immigration laws.
