At Iowa CCI, we believe that every child – no matter their zip code, background, race, gender, identity, or ability – has an equal right to a quality education. That means fully funding our public schools, urban and rural, and it means we need local school boards free from partisan politics.

That’s why we’re a part of Public School Strong, a national campaign made up of parents, teachers, students, and community members who want to ensure all children have access to honest, accurate, safe, and fully funded public education.

Join an upcoming online orientation to learn more and be Public School Strong!

• Tuesday, December 3 @ 6pm: RSVP here

Despite the increasing attacks on public education by politicians and corporate actors with deep pockets, everyday Iowans know that strong public schools are a cornerstone of our communities and democracy. By organizing in our neighborhoods and at local school board meetings, we can create positive, common sense solutions to address the real issues our schools are facing.
