Weekly Updates:
Our friends at Interfaith Alliance of Iowa put together a weekly email with what’s happening in the legislature while it’s in session. They follow many of the issues we do, organize the update by topic, and include ways to take action. We highly recommend this resource as a great way to keep up to date with legislation and action items.
