Crossroads (with lunch) | Showing up for Iowans: An invitation to Rep. Zach Nunn

Showing up for Iowans: An invitation to Rep. Zach Nunn

_____________________

MAY 16, 2025  |  11:45 AM – 1:00 PM
Plymouth Congregational Church, Des Moines
** in-person event **

On Thursday, April 3, Interfaith Alliance of Iowa held a press conference urging Representative Zach Nunn to Show Up for Iowans. We delivered a petition with 458 signatures asking him to hold a town hall meeting open to the public during Congress’ spring break. We did not hear back from Rep. Nunn and to our knowledge, he has not held a town hall open to the public.

And so, we are providing the time and location, making it as easy as possible for him to Show Up for Iowans.

Rep. Nunn has been invited to be the guest speaker at our Crossroads luncheon on May 16. Our message to Rep. Nunn is he is invited to talk with his constituents, and we hope he will Show Up for Iowans at the monthly event created and designed as a means to hold civil dialogue on important issues.

The invitation has been sent and we await Rep. Nunn’s reply.

Should Rep. Nunn not Show Up for Iowans at Crossroads, we will hold the town hall anyway. Those in attendance (there is no virtual option in May) will have the opportunity to share what issues are of most concern to them – in Iowa and nationally. But that is not all. Part of our time will focus on creative solutions and actions to hold our elected officials accountable and reclaiming our democracy in these difficult times. The conversation will be non-partisan and will not include the election or defeat of candidates.

We hope you will join us in-person at Crossroads in May, whether Rep. Nunn shows up or not. It’s an important conversation.
