Thanks to every educator, parent & advocate fighting for inclusion this National Special Education Day!

Iowa educators deserve fully-funded public schools & the opportunity to teach without politicians getting in the way! Why doesn’t the MAGA legislature agree? #Iowa #edusky

No one should have to fear sending their kids to school or going to public events. It’s time legislators to take action. Enough is enough! #GunReformNow

Anyone else notice how expensive back-to-school shopping got this year? Thanks to the Trump tariffs that all four of Iowa’s representatives voted to protect, Iowans are paying more than ever.

The future of public employees’ retirement is now under threat by Gov. Reynolds’ DOGE task force. 🚨🚨🚨

This Iowan believes that If our legislature can afford to fund vouchers & corporate tax cuts, they can support public workers! What

What kind of leader cuts public media to give yachts to billionaires?!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to every hard-working educator in Iowa! This Iowan is thankful for all you do and will advocate for fully funded public schools this week and beyond.

Iowa kids will pay the price for Trump’s cuts, but our congresspeople don’t seem to care. It’s time our lawmakers answer to their constituents or find a new line of work…

Iowans will not be ignored! We demand leaders who will stand up to Trump’s cuts, or at the VERY least have the courage to face their constituents.
