What's lurking around the legislative corner?

Presenters:

What’s going to happen this year in the Iowa Legislature? What issues are going to be debated? What rights are going to be under attack – again? And how can progressive Iowans be the most useful and effective in protecting their own rights and those of their neighbors?

Join us for Crossroads as we host our good friends and the two women leading the progressive voices in the Iowa Senate and House – newly elected leader of the Senate Democratic Caucus, Janice Weiner, and returning leader of the House Democratic Caucus, Jennifer Konfrst.
