S2E21 - Art District's Call to Action

This episode brings Marie Valencia's story to life as a longtime Las Vegas resident she has seen the city go from small town in 1990 to a commercialized space it is today in 2025. She needs your help along with the 20 plus other Downtown Las Vegas Businesses to push for changes on the final mandatory parking changes in 18B & surrounding areas.

She is the owner of Mystic Herbs Shop and longtime advocate for women in business along with a Latina representing the Queer Community.

She is sharing her authentic space and idea on why community matters more than ever. If you have time to write the following government official's that'd be even better.

Mayor Shelly Berkley

Councilwoman Olivia Diaz (Ward #)

The City of Las Vegas

She asks to make the message clear: IF WE WANT A THRIVING ARTS & CULTURE DISTRIC, we must advocate for solutions that support the locals who make it vibrant.

Close this year out with the CALL TO ACTION. Be a leader locally in why this final straw of making the ENTIRE DOWNTOWN area PAID parking will only continue to hurt the SMALL BUSINESSES, THEATER & ART CULTURE, and push all the amazing locally owned businesses out of their spaces. What favorite restaurant or brewery is next? NOW IS THE TIME, be the VOICE and CHOICE IN CHANGE. Stand up for what makes Las Vegas great, the real artists of the city.
