There is so much happening at the Iowa statehouse and so many attacks on different groups of people and public institutions. But we often talk about and advocate on these issues as if they are isolated. What if they're all really connected? A panel of organizational leaders will discuss issues under attack at the statehouse and help to connect the dots, including the important issues of LGBTQ rights, public libraries, public education, and reproductive health care.

There are three ways to attend Crossroads. Registration is required for all three:‍
