Supporters like you fuel our fight especially when the challenges before us seem insurmountable. It is your support that energizes us to dust ourselves off, get up, and fight back. We know the majority of Iowans support reproductive freedom, and we will fight for a better future for our state, piece by piece, inch by inch, seat by seat. Elevating candidates who will champion reproductive freedom is core to this long-term fight to take back our state and take back our rights.
Join us for Advocacy on Tap (Formerly Beyond Roe: Shaken, Not Deterred) as we gather to support reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy for all Iowans.
This year, we will be coming together in both Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. Please be sure to select which location you plan to attend. If you would like to attend both events, you will need to purchase multiple tickets.
