Greetings,

It's been six months since the Iowa Supreme Court issued their unanimous decision to allow same-sex couples the freedom to marry in the state of Iowa. But the struggle to protect marriage equality has only just begun. As we've seen in California and Maine, these freedoms are never as secure as we hope.

The Iowa legislative session is set to begin in January and now is the time to begin a respectful discussion of how the April 3rd decision has positively impacted the lives of Iowans.  At this critical juncture, One Iowa will host a series of free public forums to continue our statewide conversation about marriage equality. 

Please join us on Thursday, November 12 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at CSPS Legion Arts (1103 Third Street SE) in Cedar Rapids for a moderated discussion with the following panelists:

Lee Clancey
Former Cedar Rapids Mayor and Chamber of Commerce President

Reverend Tom Capo
Minister at People’s Church Unitarian Universalist

Bob Rush
Attorney with Rush & Nicholson and civil rights advocate

Kate & Trish Varnum
Named plaintiffs in the Iowa Supreme Court case, Varnum v. Brien
 
We face a critical challenge in Iowa's long history of civil rights.  Together, we can protect civil marriage and equality in America's Heartland.

Please join us for our public forum!
