One Iowa Action works to preserve and advance the rights of LGBTQ Iowans through grassroots efforts, policy work, voter education, and advocacy. 501(c)(4)
The homeless criminalization bill has been pulled from the Judiciary Committee agenda meaning it will not clear the legislative funnel deadline and cannot be debated for the rest of the year. Your voices mattered today, thank you for all your help!
Registered AGAINST the homeless crim bill we have basically every organization working with houseless populations in our state. Registered FOR the bill we have two out of state special interest groups whose special interest is lining the pockets of their billionaire founders.
