Higher Expectations for Iowa’s Working Families – A Town Hall Meeting!

 Higher Expectations for Iowa’s Working Families – A Town Hall Meeting!


A Town Hall Meeting for people concerned about good jobs, the environment, and a healthy future for their community

Tuesday, November 15
7:00-8:30 PM    
Waterloo Center for the Arts, 225 Commercial, Waterloo

We know that decisions made in Washington, DC, and Des Moines affect the pocketbooks of working families.  We also know that not enough of us connect the dots between public policies and our checkbooks, or believe that things can be different. 

Health care can be affordable.  Jobs can pay good wages.  Our communities can provide a safe environment for our children who want to stay and work here as adults.  Join us to learn more and to take action!

This event is part of Wal-Mart Watch Higher Expectations Week (Nov. 13-19) nationwide.
