About Left Caucus
Left Caucus is for Nevadans who are dedicated to the progressive movement.
We’re doing the work to transform our communities in Nevada to build a Democracy by and for the People. We believe in a world in which there is equality and justice, and we are committed to the fight for those ideals. We do not have to sacrifice our values or our principles to achieve these goals.
Executive Board
Left Caucus is governed by an Executive Board, elected by its membership. Officers of the Executive Board are responsible for leading Left Caucus organizing efforts, managing Left Caucus Teams, and representing the progressive movement in Nevada.
Left Caucus Teams
Left Caucus is committed to doing the work to promote and support the progressive movement, the Democratic Party, and our communities in Nevada. Left Caucus Teams organize, coordinate, and carry out this work. Each Team is led by a member of the Left Caucus Executive Board and an elected Team Lead.

Each month, the Communications Team works with the Technology Team to publish the Left Caucus Newsletter.

The Left Caucus Education Team coordinates all Left Caucus educational and learning efforts, both in the Caucus and the community.

The Left Caucus Fundraising Team serves the Caucus by planning, coordinating, and managing all fundraising activities.

Aside from supporting the Caucus and its membership, the Fundraising Team will also work to raise money for other groups and people in our community as needs arise.
The Fundraising Team is led by the Treasurer and the Fundraising Team Lead with support from the Chair.
Left Caucus’ Outreach Team focuses on community and electoral engagement. Working with other, like-minded organizations, the Outreach Team coordinates Left Caucus involvement in direct actions and community service.
