An 86-year-old woman was evicted in Dubuque after falling $1,900 behind in rent.
Rent across America is almost 34% higher than before the pandemic.

Steve Scalise came to #NY22 to spew anti-immigrant vitriol and stump for Brandon Williams. They forgot to share about Republican plans to cut Medicare & Medicaid and to privatize Medicare thru Medicare Advantage plans that are creating the long-term solvency problem. So I did.

“If you wonder why Iowa is so cancer-ridden, it is not because 10% of us smoke. We live in a cloud of chemical mush…If you can afford clean water, you can’t run away from the ammonia and herbicides and fungicides that enable cheap corn and eggs.” chronicletimes.com/articles/…

Area Education Agencies were at Perry HS with rapid crisis response and. Will be there for months to come with mental health services, educator support—under the Governor’s proposal this all goes away.
Just as Iowa classrooms have transformed over the past 50 years, so have our programs and services. The proposed bill aims to bring significant shifts to the education landscape; it's crucial to keep an eye on how it will impact our programs and services. ow.ly/4kz750Qqc9B

Why are you joining the Clean Water Fight?
At Iowa CCI we know clean water is a human right, and we need to start holding factory farm polluters accountable if things are going to change! They dump it, we all drink it and we won't stop until they clean it up.
