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 Monday, November 16 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at The Council Bluffs Center (714 S. Main Street) in Council Bluffs for a moderated discussion with the following panelists:

Jeffrey Boorjian, Director of Marketing, Harrah's & Horseshoe in Council Bluffs

Susannah Go, Mathematics Instructor, Iowa Western Community College

Joni Stacy, Parent and Omaha PFLAG Board Member

The Rev. Tim Vann, Episcopal Priest, Rector, St. Paul's in Council Bluffs

Nathan R. Watson, Attorney at Law

Mike Yowell and Hersh Rodasky, Married

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!

Monday, November 16th
