Moral Mondays IOWA Mission: To highlight the moral progress at work in the Iowa legislature by discussing legislation that spans a range of progressive issues working for the advancement of Iowa values like equality, fairness, and justice.

Moral Mondays IOWA is a collaborative project designed to highlight the progress at work in the Iowa legislature. A coalition of over 30 progressive Iowa organizations, MMI proactively supports the moral good sought through policies that span a range of progressive issues and works for the advancement of Iowa values like equality, fairness, and justice.

MMI meets on Mondays during the legislation session from 12:00 – 12:45 PM (unless otherwise noted), and is held in Room 305. From the center of the ground floor, take the north hallway past the cafeteria and the stairs to find the north elevator in an alcove on the right. Take the elevator to Floor 3. After leaving the elevator, go LEFT and back around the corner to Room 305. You can also take the stairs from the basement up to the 3rd floor (it’s a long way up!) and find Room 305 past the elevator. Or, join us virtually on the Moral Mondays IOWA Facebook page.
