- 2020 lobby day in Iowa to support Moratorium on CAFOs
Nearly 100 friends, members, and allies braved the fog and slick roads to elevate our call for a moratorium on factory farms. We were joined by our bill sponsors Senator Claire Celsi (D-Des Moines) and Rep. Sharon Steckman (D-Mason City).
| Clean water fighters of all generations rallied at the Capitol Thursday, Jan 23, 2020. The Raging Grannies led us in songs celebrating our land, our people, and our fight back against corporate rule. 100Grannies and others were present. High school climate activist Tatianna Schaapherder reminded us that it’s no longer enough to reduce, reuse, and recycle. We need big and bold solutions to our factory farm crisis and address our climate emergency.
After the rally, CCI Action members lobbied their legislators and other key elected officials about the need for a moratorium in Iowa. Among the legislators we talked to were House Minority leader Todd Prichard (D-Charles City), and Rep. Dean Fisher (R-Montour) who blocked the moratorium bill from being discussed by a subcommittee last year. In total, members talked to more than 35 legislators and left information with many many more! Support the work we did by sending a letter to Rep. Ross Paustian and your representative. Nearly 100 people already have — help us get to 200 this weekend! Ask him to assign the factory farm moratorium bill, HF 203, to a subcommittee. Rep. Ross Paustian, ross.paustian@legis.iowa.gov, phone House switchboard: (515) 281-3221 to find your representative go to legis.iowa.gov |
