,

Today, I'm writing to share details for our third and final convention workshop, and it's an important one: our elections.

Iowa holds the key to who holds control of the U.S. House of Representatives. And, you may have heard attempts at election intimidation have already started in Ohio and Minnesota.

We won't be intimidated! We want to equip more of us to fight misinformation here on the ground in Iowa and protect our sacred right to vote from those looking to seize and hold on to power.

Are you in?  

To help us get informed and organized to say "Hands off our Vote!," we've invited Maxwell Love, project director for Hold the Line, to lead a workshop at our convention.

Hold the Line equips people across the country with evidence-based, nonpartisan frameworks to help them understand threats to democratic institutions; organize effective collective action; and defend free, fair, and safe elections.

Register today for our Saturday, July 25 convention: Building the Iowa WE Need!

The workshop will be:  

  • Part training: Maxwell will guide us through an election defense training, possible scenarios, and how we can gear up to fight back against misinformation.

  • Part strategy: We'll talk through the roles we can play to  make sure all eligible voters are able to participate in this November’s elections.

  • You'll leave with more connections to fellow Iowans, tools to talk about these important issues, and concrete ways to plug in.

The path to Building the Iowa WE Need runs through our July 25 convention.

We're stronger together.
We'd love to have you there!

Register today (by July 2) to get
our $25 early-bird rate!

Whether you're a longtime CCI Action member or newly engaged in our work, this informative, energizing, and inspiring event is for you!

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
