The road to a better Iowa doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens district by district, neighborhood by neighborhood—and it starts right here.
While many Central Iowa legislative candidates are running unopposed, their vision for our state has been completely blocked. That’s why House Democratic legislators, the Westside Democrats, and the Polk County Democrats are coming together for a series of special fundraising events to support some of the most competitive candidates from around the state.
This isn’t just another political reception. It’s a coordinated push to pool our resources, our energy, and our time behind four critical legislative races that will change the entire conversation in the statehouse. More events with additional candidates will roll out in the weeks to come.

Click here to register today! $35 registration includes speakers, workshops, lunch and more.
Find More Info on this event with a list of speakers here.
Our convention is the one time of year where the CCI Action community (that's you!) gathers from across the state and across issue campaigns to connect, celebrate, learn, strategize, and reenergize for the work ahead -- including this year’s midterm elections.
Join us Saturday, July 25 to:
celebrate our incredible momentum for public schools and for protecting our water and health;
strategize how we keep building these campaigns and ensure elections are about us, our people and our issue solutions;
hear from inspiring speakers(Keynote Speaker - Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson, Organizer, Storyteller, Strategist);
attend workshops to deepen our knowledge and build our skills; and
be in community! Re-connect and meet new people who care about the same issues as you.
This year's theme is BUILDING THE IOWA WE NEED.
The election is critically important. And our eye is on the prize of the long-term, transformative changes we need.
It's been hard to watch as lawmakers have spent the last decade tearing down years of hard-fought progress one brick at a time. And in this we have real opportunity to re-envision and rebuild a much better Iowa and country.
But we have to grab and build power for us and our communities, and we want to do it together.

Event Description: Des Moines "Good Trouble Lives On" Event - Community Event · Volunteer organized for John Lewis Actions.
RSVP HERE TO ATTEND AND RECEIVE MORE INFO.
The fight to protect voting rights never ends, and right now, we’re witnessing a Jim-Crow-era effort from politicians and their billionaire friends to restrict our freedoms, silence our voices, and consolidate power.
But in America, we choose our leaders. We will decide our future. The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action.
Six years after the passing of Congressman Lewis, we continue his legacy of holding power to account and demanding access to the ballot and having our votes fairly counted, and honoring the will of the people. We say NO to the SAVE Act, and YES to the voice of the people.
Note: Good Trouble Lives On is a non-partisan weekend of action. We require that participants commit to not advocate for, endorse, or oppose any political candidate or ballot initiative. A core principle behind all Good Trouble Lives On events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

Volunteers Needed for Shifts July 8-11! Sign up to help the Dallas County Democrats (DCD) GOTV at our “2026 Dallas County Fair Booth”!
Event Description: WHY are the Dallas County Democrats (DCD) going go to the fair?
We have the chance to talk to folks we might not otherwise run into who are from areas of the county outside of our urban/suburban areas. People come from rural areas and small towns of Dallas County to the fair and this gives us the opportunity to hear what’s on their minds.
It’s great exposure for us Democrats to distribute brochures on behalf of our many excellent candidates. We can talk to people about getting more involved with the Dallas County Democrats and our Democratic Candidates’ Campaigns. We will have a notebook where you can take down names and contact information for follow-up to invite folks to our events or get on our E-newsletter list.
Also, we will have voter registration forms because “Get Out the Vote” activities are always important as we head into the General Election on November 3, 2026.
Please consider helping with at least one shift!

RSVP HERE TO ATTEND AND RECEIVE EVENT INFO/UPDATES
We are FED-UP!!!
Hello to all of those who are FED-UP!!! July 10th is our next meet-up.
We will begin our Friday's at Rep. Zach Nunn's office at 2:00 PM in Capitol Square (400 Locust Street, Suite 250, Des Moines, IA 50309). We call on Rep. Nunn to:
Call for hearings and investigations into the abuse of ICE/CBP and the for-profit detention centers. Only 3% of detainees have have a record of any violent history.
Hold an open town hall to report back what is happening and how he is acting as an agent for Iowans, not big money and the machinations of Washington DC insiders and this cruel administration.
Around 2:30 PM we will do our honk and wave, outside the Federal Building at 2nd.
We hope you can join us. We look forward to seeing you.
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. Do not bring weapons of any kind, even if legal. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
