7.25.26 Building the Iowa We Need - CCI Action Annual Convention

Register today for the CCI Action convention on Saturday, July 25! It’s our annual event that brings together the CCI community from across the state, and across issue campaigns —rural and urban, young and old, newly activated and seasoned leaders.

Our convention is the one time of year where the CCI Action community (that's you!) gathers from across the state and across issue campaigns to connect, celebrate, learn, strategize, and reenergize for the work ahead -- including this year’s midterm elections. 

Join us Saturday, July 25 to: 

• celebrate our incredible momentum for public schools and for protecting our water and health,
• strategize how we keep building these campaigns and ensure elections are about us, our people and our issue solutions,
• hear from inspiring speakers (big announcement on that next week!),
• attend workshops to deepen our knowledge and build our skills, and
• be in community! Re-connect and meet new people who care about the same issues as you.

This year's theme is BUILDING THE IOWA WE NEED.

The election is critically important. And our eye is on the prize of the long-term, transformative changes we need.

It's been hard to watch as lawmakers have spent the last decade tearing down years of hard-fought progress one brick at a time. And in this we have real opportunity to re-envision and rebuild a much better Iowa and country.

But we have to grab and build power for us and our communities, and we want to do it together. 

Click here to register today! $25 early-bird registration includes speakers, workshops, lunch and more.
