I’m so excited that I’m posting this from my phone. Just saw on CNN that the FDA has agreed to uphold court ruling to allow 17-year-olds access to Plan B (the morning after pill). This is a victory for reproductive choice!
With a 12-9 vote the State Senate passed the Domestic Partnership bill (SB283)! This is a major victory in the fight for equality and civil rights in Nevada! And this is a victory for couples and families of all stripes living in our state! Congratulations Sen. David Parks and all those who worked so tirelessly…
I am happy to announce that Planned Parenthood of Southern Nevada is joining the Sin City Sirens’ team for Race for the Cure! We had a great time with them at the AIDS Walk and so we’re teaming up again! There’s never been a better time to join the team or donate to the cause!…

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, as I mentioned before. So first off let me apologize that I didn’t get this up earlier (special apology to UNLV’s Take Back the Campus event April 15, which I wanted to promote). Unfortunately, you can’t really plan for going to an out-of-state funeral, so I guess that’s how…
I couldn’t find an actual video for Lily Allen’s new song “Fuck you” but this will do: My sentiments exactly.
There’s just so much to get to, let’s dive right in: Support SB397! This bill, brought forward by Sen. Maggie Carlton, would create a fund for environmental clean-up and ban the use of non-biodegradable plastic shopping bags within four years. As many long-time Siren readers know, this is an issue very close to my heart.…
My lovelies, I’m back. And I want YOU to join my Sin City Sirens team for the Race for the Cure! If you sign up before April 21, your race packet, T-shirt and assorted goodies are mailed right to your door. How convenient! Running/walking not your thing? Why not “Sleep in for the Cure”? You…
