Culinary Workers Union Local 226 is one of the fastest growing private sector local unions in the United States. Membership has climbed from 18,000 union workers in 1987 to approximately 60,000 members today. Culinary 226 represents more members than any other union in Nevada. Chartered in 1938, Culinary Union 226 has been a leader in the fight for decent wages, better working conditions, family health insurance and secure pensions. Culinary 226 represents workers in the hospitality industry, including hotels, casinos, airports, food service, restaurants and laundry services. During the 1960s and 1970s, Las Vegas workers experienced firsthand the rapid change in the workplace as corporations began to enter the casino industry, which previously had been dominated by family-owned companies. In 1984, the Casinos’ refusal to negotiate improved health insurance coverage led to a citywide strike of 18,000 union workers. While the Union prevailed in the strike and won better health coverage (the Culinary Health plan that union members have today) it was a wake-up call for members of Local 226. The years following the 1984 strike were a time of rebuilding for the Union. Culinary 226 fought to improve existing contracts and organize new casinos as they opened. During the 1990s, the Union kept pace with a booming Las Vegas. Since the opening of Mirage in 1989 (the first of Las Vegas’ “mega-resorts”) Culinary 226 has organized more than 40,000 new workers. The 1990s were also a time of tough strikes as workers at the Horsehoe and Frontier Casinos successfully struck to protect the Union standard of living. The Frontier Strike was one of the longest in U.S. history––lasting over six years. All the 550 strikers victoriously returned to work in 1998 with seniority on the job and back pension service credits. Today, Culinary 226 members continue to fight for all that they have achieved––free health care, a secure retirement, owning a home and sending their kids college. The Union remains strong with a growing membership and thousands of active union members.
Casa de Luz is a house of worship located in the “Naked City” area behind the Stratosphere at 2412 Tam Dr. Casa de Luz (House of Light) serves not only as the name of our building, but also as a constant reminder of our purpose which is to bring the light of hope and transformation into this dark place. Our purpose is fulfilled by bringing help to individuals and families through meeting their basic physical needs and assisting with emotional and spiritual needs as well. We operate one of the busiest food pantries in Las Vegas, provide additional benevolence and resource referrals to those in need, offer a myriad of child enrichment programs, provide life skills training courses, assist with employment preparedness and job skills, and so much more. We have been blessed with the respect and support of many prominent leaders within our local government, business community, faith community and law enforcement; and we have partnered alongside them in events aimed at providing assistance and hope to the poor of Las Vegas.

Children and adults alike can even enjoy a birthday party where they and their guests create their very own piece of reclaimed art! ~Bio of Directors~ Jen Harney-Director of RECLAIMED A mother of three, a wife, long time lover of art and builder of bridges, Jen Harney has been a resident of Las Vegas for nearly fifteen years. She is pleased to bring together a space where art meets community under one roof. Bridging community though art can foster the creation of endless possbility through the use of recycled and reclaimed materials. Jen was motivated to start this endeavor after going on a family road trip where they stumbled across MECCA. This material exchange community center for artists inspired her to create this same innovative idea and bring it to Vegas. As a community organizer she sees a need to put the right pieces together to fill that void in the arts district and bring the artists together with the resources and support necessary for a flourishing arts community. By putting a space together with Quency Hilton, a fellow visionary and arts advocate, where artist can get inexpensive supplies, collaborate for inspiration, and build community, she is very excited to see what the future holds.. "Maybe the next Banksy or Picasso is right here in Las Vegas, but they have not had the opportunity to recognize their potential because they do not have access to supplies or a space to create. This is what I see with RECLAIMED, a place to inspire and foster art, a place where the possibilities are endless." Quency Hilton-Director of RECLAIMED Quency, Q, Quenc! A mom and creative goal driven Earth citizen ready to help spread harmony to all. Taking care of the planet and creating ways for people to become more connected is a huge priority of Quencys'. She knows a change for the Earth needs to happen and happen now. As ideas were pouring in for ways to create this vision of change, she came across an amazing woman named Jen Harney. Their ideas and inspirations led them to unite together to create RECLAIMED. Recycling, reusing, and recreating will help imaginations come together and help clear the waste! Realizing that this idea could bring the community together in so many positive ways was part of the inspiration that lead Quency to make RECLAIMED into a reality for Las Vegas. A place where everyone can afford art supplies. A place where all walks of life can come to create, and save the planet at the same time! This is RECLAIMED! A huge inspiration for RECLAIMED is in the dedication to her mother Cindy Hilton. Cindy passed away in 2010. Quency's mother was a special needs teacher who taught sign language and communication skills to children from birth to 3 with down syndrome, autism, hard of hearing and/or deaf and other special needs disabilities. Cindy loved to shop for great bargains and at thrift stores. She enjoyed teaching sign language, art, her children Quency and Dylan, and her granddaughter Marley! After the passing of her mother, Quency learned that life is precious and to never give up on a goal. She knows to live healthy, be creative, to always help others, be at peace, help clean up the earth, and love unconditionally to all the citizens of Earth. RECLAIMED is dedicated to Cindy Hilton, a loving mother, sister, daughter, friend and teacher. 12/19/1967-12/7/2010
A community open to people of all faiths and traditions. A gathering of people interested in spiritual education and practice in relationship to the faith of their choice and practice, with a desire to be engaged in serving the whole community. A Peace Community in Action is variety of people from many different spiritual traditions including integration of subgroups gathered together in recent years. In other words our direction will be to live in peace and to help others to find peace in their own lives. We will by sharing our traditions with one another while learning to honor others' traditions and not judge in our hearts and minds. It's about learning to be a true community with all those who want to know about and experience teachings and rituals from these spiritual traditions around the world. Like Thich Nhat Hanh (a well known Buddhist monk and author) has written and described community as a "fruit salad" and not a "melting pot". It is written in the Talmud (one of the Jewish Holy books) that the Messiah will return when one of two things happens, 1) we are at a point of destruction on the earth, or 2) we have entered into community. Our direction of choice as APCIA (A Peace Community in Action) will be towards building community. Unfortunately fear has had its run these days and people use it to do violence to others and unknowingly at the same time they bring violence into their own lives and those around them. As we practice and learn to live mindfully we will learn that we are all interconnected in this world to one another and being people of peace can transform us into whole human beings. Carl Jung, one of my favorite psychologists, has written extensively on the subject of wholeness equating it with healing and salvation. Bob Marley wrote and sang in Redemption Song, "emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind, have no fear of atomic energy cause none of them can stop the time". For me his music has been healing and valuable in learning about freedom and redemption for all people. His depth of understanding social justice and love were evident in all of his music and life. We all hunger for freedom and peace at the root of our being, but only by living in community with compassion will we ever experience this on a larger scale. It's not up to the politicians or the religious groups, it's up to each of us as individuals too. The other day I was driving a young guy to the hardware store when out of nowhere in a "not thinking" mind according to Buddha: Is the same as "Only Don't Know Mind according to Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn So) he says to me, "what does everyone in the world want?" Which he answered himself right away, "peace, right?" I agreed and he said," but religions stop it because most wars are fought because religions don't get along". It reminded me of a time when I was working in Canada in 1975 while in prayer, the thought came to me "there is no room for competition or comparison in the Kingdom of G-d. Also referred to as Nirvana, Heaven, etc. APCIA will offer classes in comparative religions/spiritual traditions, Zen meditation, Tai Chi Chuan, Chi Gung, Yoga, Old Testament (TaNaK), New Testament, Medical marijuana concerns (such as growing and the laws on the issue), as well as a variety of life courses for reminding and teaching the basics that our parents taught us and we learned in kindergarten. We will gather Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for sitting Zazen (meditation practice), open 6 days a week to sit Zazen independently. Friday evenings we will have a lively Sabbath service with the lighting of candles, welcoming of the Sabbath prayers and Kiddush (Blessing of the Wine and bread according to Jewish tradition. Sundays we will offer a Bob Marley kind'a Christian communion service with prayers, enthused singing and live music. Yes we are open to ideas on classes, workshops, music, talents, etc. All services are open to everybody especially to those who are burned out on religion in a box. We are also planning to embrace those who have been kept out or down in society, for example the Gay community and the 18-40 age group of people who no longer attend Church or go to Temple because it's boring and doesn't speak to us. I personally have had my medical marijuana license for three years now and remember when I couldn't talk freely about it to fellow church members. People want to have fun and need to play as much as they work according to C.G. Jung (psychologist), in order to be whole and happy. One of my books on Native American wisdom is titled, Touch the Earth, and one quote reads, "the West wasn't wild until the white man moved here" and another author P. Chardin wrote, "we are moving away from the earth to quickly", each of these quotes reminds us that the earth is our mother and we owe her respect and honor and all who inhabit her. We have been living much to rapidly in the technological world and have slowed down meeting face to face, heart to heart so we breed distrust and separation. There is much to do and it will only be completed by living in community with the world recognizing that we are all connected to each other even though we have differences. Rituals are important, but must be flexible if they are to be living and organic, which is life giving. Even Mahatma Ghandi said, "you can't increase life by increasing its speed". We must learn to slow down, recreate, and learn to live in the now. The past is gone, and the future is not here, we must learn to breathe deeply and listen deeply in order to know ourselves and others and therefore bring peace and compassion to all. More to follow as we find a space to gather. Recreation: Redeeming and healing the world- the earth. Meditative: Contemplative. Health/Healing Conscious. "TO LABEL IS TO LIBEL" -C. S. SONG

What so special about southern Nevada and the Las Vegas Valley? Simple. This place is incredible. This Valley is at the center of an unparalleled collection of outdoor jewels that include Red Rock National Conservation Area, Mt. Charleston, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area, Desert National Wildlife Refuge, Valley of Fire, and Tule Springs. We are within driving distance of Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge, the Virgin River, Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge, Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Death Valley National Park, Zion National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, and the Grand Canyon. Not only are we lucky enough to have jewels surrounding the Valley, but at the urban heart of this Valley the federal, local, and county governments are cooperating and creating partnerships to build an incredible network – Neon to Nature – of urban trails that will provide even more access to the beautiful places at the desert’s edge.

Since the earliest days of this nation when democracy was built on racial exploitation, black workers have risked their lives to protect and empower their communities through agitation, collective action and faith. The Coalition of Black Trade Unionists proudly carries that tradition into the 21st century. CBTU is not a black separatist or civil rights organization. It is the fiercely independent voice of black workers within the trade union movement, challenging organized labor to be more relevant to the needs and aspirations of Black and poor workers. At the same time, CBTU is recognized as a potent economic and political force within the African American community. One of every five black workers (20%) belongs to a union, and black union members earn 40 percent more than do non-union black workers. In the political arena, CBTU has leveraged the vast resources of unions to mobilize black voters to influence elections and public policy at every level of government. And long before globalization caught the attention of America's working families, CBTU was challenging the gaping disparity of wealth, power and living standards throughout the world, especially in African and Caribbean countries. CBTU also was the first American labor organization to actively oppose white minority rule in Southern Africa. CBTU has been the catalyst for actions against other human rights violators as well. Since its founding conference in 1972, CBTU's stature among African American workers has grown. Currently, more than 50 different international and national unions are represented in CBTU. With 50 chapters nationwide and one in Ontario, Canada, CBTU is maximizing the strength and influence of black workers in unions and empowering their communities. Membership in CBTU is strictly voluntary. Only active or retired members of bona fide unions can join CBTU.
