Registration Required

Interested in making a difference at the Iowa State House? Join us for two virtual Advocacy Training Sessions leading up to Farm and Food Day on the Hill on January 23, 2025. Registration gets you into both sessions, and we recommend attending both to gain the full benefit of this series.

These one-hour trainings will help you build a community of advocacy, amplify your voice, and coordinate efforts to give food farmers a bigger slice of the pie in Iowa’s agricultural future.

Stipends of $25 per session are available to compensate your time upon request—contact Tommy Hexter, Iowa Farmers Union Rural Organizer & Educator, at thexter@iowafarmersunion.org.
