Las Vegas, NV — Nevadans for Funding Education will rally against the steep budget cuts that were recently proposed to the state legislature. Organizers project huge crowds, especially with the tens of thousands of people expected to be downtown on the day of the event. The rally will start at 5:00pm as part of the 18b Music Festival on Saturday, May 14th, in the 18b Arts District outside the Arts Factory.

“How cool will it be to see thousands and thousands of students together downtown to protest these ridiculous cuts?” said Mark Jimenez, local teacher and founder of Nevadans for Funding Education. “This isn’t just a rally—it’s a community event for everybody.”

The producers of the 18b Music Festival agree. For them, making the rally a part of the festival was not only the obvious choice, it was the only choice.

“The 18b Music Festival is ideal for the rally. It’s about bringing people together and showcasing the best our city has to offer in the arts,” said Mundana Ess-Haghabadi, creator and co-founder of Born and Raised Productions. “This is a call to action for students, teachers, parents—for all of us in Las Vegas—to show how much we care about our future.”

The rally will mark the start of the festival, beginning at 5:00pm on Saturday May 14th, on the Boulder Plaza outside Arts Factory at 107 E. Charleston Blvd. In addition to the community at large, the rally will draw on support from student and teacher populations in the local school district as well as in the state university system.

The 18b Music Festival will run from 5pm until midnight and is produced by Born and Raised Productions LLC, in association with the Arts Factory, and in cooperation with the Las Vegas Sculpture Park 501(c)3 with support from Solotech, the Artists for Orphans Project, Nevada Beverage Co., and the Concerned Dad Collective.
