With the Iowa Legislature gaveling in on Monday, January 13, it’s time to focus on what’s happening at the Iowa State Capitol again. But sometimes it can feel like advocating from afar is lonely and futile. Does it really matter if progressive Iowans from remote cities and towns speak up on the issues? And, if so, how can we most effectively advocate – whether we live in Cedar Rapids, Mason City, Ames, West Liberty, Nodaway, or even Des Moines?

Join us for Intersections – in person or online – to learn from progressive leaders who help Iowans every day to use their voices, regardless of where they live.

You may make your reservation to attend in-person (with lunch) by clicking on the "Register Now" button.

Intersections is a monthly gathering of the Interfaith Alliance of Iowa in Cedar Rapids. It's an opportunity to learn, to participate in civil dialogue, and to discuss issues at the crossroads of religion and politics.
