in person and virtual options

Presenter: Rep. Jennifer Konfrst
Iowa House Democratic Leader

While progressive voices were able to block a red wave at a national level, Iowa lost some ground. What does it mean for the future of communities across our state and how can progressive Iowans have an impact in Iowa politics? Rep. Jennifer Konfrst, House Democratic Leader, will join us for Crossroads and share her thoughts on the 2022 election, the implications for the upcoming legislative session, and how progressive voices can move our state forward to benefit all Iowans.

There are three ways you can join us for Crossroads:

• Attend in person (with lunch) by clicking here. Three brown bag lunch options are available: turkey sandwich, roast beef sandwich, and vegetarian sandwich; brown bag lunches are $12 each and may come with a bag of crisp apple slices, chips, condiments on the side, and a brownie. Please note: You must pre-order and pay for your lunch by 5:00 PM on Tuesday, December 13. Late orders or walk-in requests for lunch will NOT be available.

Our year-end campaign has started off on a strong note. Help keep the momentum going!

We know there will be big fights ahead of us when the legislature kicks off in January. Governor Reynolds already stated that “parental choice” (aka vouchers) will be her top priority again and the Iowa House has formed an “Education Reform Committee.” We know taking away abortion rights and LGBTQ+ issues will be priorities for Republicans as well.

We are ready to go! We'll use our powerful voice and we promise to be an ever-present thorn in their sides.

While Interfaith Alliance of Iowa staff have a long history of being at the Capitol every day, we are working to better engage progressive Iowans across the state in a variety of ways — including (but not limited to) having a regular presence at the Statehouse.

That’s why we’re forming an Interfaith Alliance of Iowa Action Fund Advocacy Team to work on the issues that matter. Whether advocating from home or at the Iowa State Capitol, will you join us? Click here to see how you can be involved and sign up!

Thanks for all you do to make our state a better place for all Iowans!
