Doing politics differently

CCI Action brings people together to push for a government and an economy that work for people and the planet.

We’re thousands of members strong across the state – from Iowa’s rural areas, small towns, and big cities.  

  • We do grassroots issue organizing and work in elections.

  • We’re about changing “business as usual” politics and taking on the corrosive influence of big money special interests. 

  • We’re about energizing, engaging, and bringing real people into the center of our political system.  

Building power for the people and places we love 

We’re pushing back against policies that harm our people, planet, and democracy. We’re pushing for bold solutions our communities need.

We’re working together—side by sidefighting for:  

  • a true multiracial democracy 

  • clean water 

  • climate action 

  • racial justice 

  • healthcare for all  

  • elected leaders who stand WITH us on these issues  

It’s up to us 

CCI Action members know that no one candidate or political party is going to move our People & Planet First agenda for us. It’s up to us to engage and deliver through: 

  • Issue organizing to meet new people and work together to take actions that make change and build hope 

  • Grassroots lobbying to be the much-needed people’s voice at the Statehouse, county boards, and city councils

  • Expanding our people power to reach and engage a lot more people in the state

  • Trainings to take our grassroots leader-led organizing to a higher level

  • Electing people’s champions to elected office to work with us.  

Things change in this country when we stay connected, stay organized, and expand our people power
