Iowans aren’t sitting back; we’re organizing, we’re standing up, and we’re speaking out.
This is Burlington, a mid-sized working-class town, and we’re just getting started.
Over 100 degrees on Saturday, and nearly 100 protesters showed up to say #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Indivisible Muscatine County co-hosted an excellent empty chair town hall last night. Of course Miller-Meeks was a no show. Iowans are listening and paying attention, and not going to stay quiet while she hurts our family, friends, and neighbors.

Did someone say #TacoTuesday?
For real though - #trumptariffs are no joke!
Tariffs are an added expense that we the consumer pay on groceries, clothes and electronics.

The BBB is a big bill of bull$hit - and we're tired of billionaires making their fortune off our labor while our MOCs scapegoat kids, seniors, and those who depend on support systems to just get by.
Light blue background with a hand holding a birthday cake with lit pastel colored candles. Words to the right in black: I'm not mad a kid got a $1.50 boxed birthday cake with SNAP. I'm mad that billionaires cheat the tax system and steal millions off the labor of hard-working Iowans. We should build a system that gives every family dignity, not one that protects the wealthy at our expense.

Guess who's back! Yep, it's Chicken Don, the king of the con and tax breaks for his billionaire buddies.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social we hope you will address the Afghan refugees in #Iowa who are being threatened with deportation if they don't leave by May 20th. Our local Indivisible group will be protesting outside the federal building at noon Tues to draw attention to this critical issue.

TRUMP'S TAX SCAM: Billionaires get richer, YOU get robbed. Republicans are plotting to gut Medicaid & SNAP, leaving millions without a safety net. But WE are FIGHTING BACK! We won't let them sacrifice our communities for their wealthy donors.

Constituents of Rep. Miller Meeks met Thursday evening in Davenport, Iowa, to share music, community, and stories about the impacts Medicaid cuts would have on themselves and those they love. It's a shame their rep dismisses them and refuses to hear their concerns.

Afghan refugees in Iowa have been told they must leave the state or be deported.
This is a death sentence for these families. We won't stay silent, we're showing up and speaking up in Cedar Rapids next week on Tuesday. Iowa's Members of Congress MUST STOP THIS ATROCITY.

This week Rep. Nunn will sit on the Ag Committee markup for the reconciliation bill and this includes a first look at cuts to SNAP funding - including school meals.
Call his office and tell him NO CUTS TO SNAP!

For Iowans like Nancy, Medicaid was a life-saver. It's a shame Rep. Miller Meeks refuses to hold public meetings to hear directly from the Iowans Medicaid benefits.
Thank you Nancy, for sharing your story.

Weed laws have been enforced unequally for decades, disproportionately targeting Black and brown communities. Legalization must go hand in hand with expunging past convictions and investing in communities harmed by the war on drugs.

Hey Rep Miller-Meeks - you're not 'pro-life' if you're willing to take away healthcare from newborn babies and seniors in nursing homes. That's just 'pro-rich'. 40% of ALL births in Iowa is covered by Medicaid. #MedicaidCutsKillUS

“Thank you for coming today,” Cindy Steflik, a retiree from West Point, IA, said before sharply questioning Mr. Grassley about cuts to VA. She added that she believed the area’s Republican Rep. Miller-Meeks, “seems to be hiding in a closet.”

When your reps ghost you in #Iowa, you try to catch them at their office.
#IA03 Rep. Miller Meeks was "out of town" when we stopped by her office, and all her staff was busy. Even though constituents had tried to schedule a meeting for 2 weeks.

Stories like Nancy's are important to share, and she's right. Our tax dollars fund programs like Medicaid. It is something we pay into, so if we need the program, it's there for us.
And now, MAGA Republicans want to gut health care for millions to give tax breaks to the rich.

Blue background with white text: Because of Medicaid, I was able to access the quality care that saved my life. I was there to help my only daughter choose her wedding dress. I was there to see my first grandchild come into the world. I’ve been here to welcome four more beautiful grandbabies into the world. because of Medicaid, I've been able to spend the last decade doing work that lifts up my community. Medicaid isn't just a word, a department, OR an "entitlement" as taxpayers we all pay, with every paycheck, for the right to this care when we need it.

Those who live in Rep Miller-Meeks' district need to speak out and tell her stand with families like Renee's.
Iowans of all ages and abilities rely on Medicaid to live their lives. We cannot pull the rug out from under them to pay for more billionaire tax breaks - that's not right!
#Iowa #Medicaid
Blue background, white text: My young adult son relies on his Medicaid for services that include Day Hab, Supported Community Living (SCL), and respite. He worries about losing "the services I rely on!". He loves going to Day Hab to socialize with peers, and he loves having a respite from us! Medicaid pays for his medication, therapy, and psychiatry. All of these increase his independence. We need respite to get a break from 24/7 supervision of him. Medicaid is critical for adults with disabilities to live as indepently and healthy as they can.

For Iowans like Jennifer, Medicaid is a lifeline for her son's ability to live a full and healthy life.

Folks like Jennifer's son NEED Medicaid.

Billionaires like Musk DO NOT NEED more tax breaks!

#ProtectMedicaid #MedicaidMatters #Iowa
Blue Background White Text: Without it, my son’s health—and his independence—would be at risk. The idea of cuts to Medicaid isn’t just a policy debate; for families like mine, it’s personal. It’s about whether our loved ones can get the care they need to survive and thrive. We cannot allow politicians to strip away this vital lifeline to fund tax breaks for billionaires. Iowans deserve better. We must stand up and protect Medicaid—for my son, for your family, and for the thousands of Iowans who depend on it every single day. Blue background, white text: Medicaid Is a Lifeline—For My Family and So Many Others For my family, Medicaid isn’t just a program—it’s a necessity. My adult son lives with a severe mental illness, and without Medicaid, he wouldn’t have access to the medications and appointments that make it possible for him to live independently. His treatments allow him to care for himself, maintain stability, and have a decent quality of life. Medicaid ensures that he can see his doctors regularly, adjust his medications as needed, and get the support required to manage his condition.

It's April 1, and we are kicking off Medicaid Awareness Month with stories from Iowans who have benefited from Medicaid coverage.
No, joke, Medicaid is a lifeline for thousands of Iowans. We can't afford to cut this critical program so billionaires like Musk get more of our tax $.

Blue background with white words: When my husband lost his job during covid, I was newly diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease. The timing was horrible. Our biggest worry was THE loss of health insurance. We went to THE ACA marketplace to apply for health insurance. my job wasn't enough to have our family qualify for marketplace. We were automatically kicked over to medicaid. We were immediately approved, and we experienced no lapse in insurance! It was A MIRACLE for our family! I’ll never forget how much medicaid helped us in one of the hardest times of our lives! I still feel so much gratitude for the medicaid program. I believe this service should be available for all those who need it.
