Jan. 24 Rally and Lobby Day: Details to Know
We can't wait to see you on Tuesday! Below are details to know:
When: 10 am, Jan. 24 | Registration begins at 9 am
Where: 1st floor Rotunda, State Capitol, 1007 E Grand Avenue, Des Moines
Parking:
Parking near the State Capitol complex is scarce. We recommend you check out the Capitol Complex Parking page to familiarize yourself with the visitor parking lots. We also recommend carpooling and giving yourself plenty of time to find parking and walk to the building. If visitor lots are full, there is free street parking to the north of the Capitol. Other street parking is metered.
Where to meet:
We'll kick off the day at 9 am in the Capitol building, 1st floor Rotunda
Lunch:
On your own at the State Capitol cafeteria. Or bring your lunch!
What to wear/bring:
- Comfortable shoes, there will be lots of walking and standing
- Show your CCI pride! Wear a CCI Action t-shirt or CCI Action colors- red, black, or white.
- Any signs that you have that fit the message.
- Friends! A big crowd will help send a strong message.
What NOT to bring:
You have to go through metal detectors to get into the Statehouse. So please leave your pocket knifes and such at home.
What to expect:
- You'll stand alongside everyday people from all across Iowa who are ready to stand up and speak out for People and Planet First.
- In groups with experienced CCI Action members and staff, you will have the opportunity to sit down face-to-face in meetings with progressive allies and key decision makers to discuss hot ticket legislative items, tell them your story, and personally ask them to take action on issues that impact you most: raising the wage, cracking down on factory farms, and protecting voting rights for all Iowans.
- It's powerful, important and fun. This event is far from boring and we will definitely keep you busy. It is exciting to stand up for what's right- and you'll never meet a better group of people to do it with!
