Titus praised Annette Magnus who leads an organization that has advocated for defunding the police, pushed CRT in schools, and publicly smeared concerned parents

In a speech to the Nevada Legislature last week, Dina Titus lauded the leader of Battle Born Progress, Annette Magnus.

During the highly-partisan and divisive address, Titus stated: “You know speaking of legacies I’ve heard recently that Annette Magnus has decided she’s going to retire from Battle Born Progress after this session. I hated to hear that. We all owe Annette a debt of gratitude for what she’s done to educate the public, successfully advocate for important causes and keep the progressive agenda at the forefront of Nevada politics. Godspeed Annette. We’ll miss you here but I don’t think you’ll be a stranger. Maybe you should run for office!”

What is Magnus’ legacy?

Since 2013, Mangus was the Executive Director of Battle Born Progress, a self-described “Public Relations Firm of the Progressive Community in Nevada.”

The “important causes” Titus praised her for included defunding the police, pushing critical theory in schools, advocating for no limits on abortion, and lobbying against school choice.

Under Magnus’ direction, Battle Born Progress advocated for defunding the police. According to a report by the Washington Free Beacon, “In July 2020, Battle Born Progress called to ‘save money by defunding’ the state’s police presence in schools, adding that ‘police officers in schools help foster the school-to-prison pipeline.”

Adding to her leftist credentials is Magnus’ close relationship with Las Vegas activist Akiko-Ayalla Cooks of the Mass Liberation Project who proposed “abolishing the criminal legal system as we know it,” defunding the Las Vegas Police Department and likened policing to “terrorism.”
