Legislators need to hear from you!
People think lobbying only happens at the statehouse, but we know that's not true. That's why we want to let you know about local opportunities to make your voice heard!
These events are a chance to meet your elected officials and share what you care about. You can tell them you want fully funded public schools, a government that puts people first, and other issues important to you. And if you go, please tell them you don’t want the “Cancer Gag Act” – which has been introduced as SSB 1051 – and that big corporations should pay the cost if their product makes people sick.
See below for legislative forums we’re tracking, and if you hear about one in your community let us know by emailing taylor (at) iowacci.org!
