Many partner organizations are joining together to educate Iowans about the passage and potential impact of Iowa’s 2024 Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) that elevates one person’s religious freedom above the civil rights of others. Plain and simple, RFRA uses personal religious beliefs as justification for discrimination. Together, we are empowering Iowans to reject the message of RFRA that is based in bigotry and hate, harming marginalized communities – LBGTQ, religious minorities, Black, Brown, immigrants, and women.

Religious Freedom Restoration Act: Understanding the law and its impact – updated 11.07.24

Resolution Declaring All Are Welcome in [City/County] – updated 11.07.24

‍Together, we are amplifying a new message that All Are Welcome in Iowa.

‍Will you join us in this effort to stop discrimination in its tracks and welcome everyone in Iowa? CLICK HERE to sign up!
