A note from Progress Iowa.

This isn’t over.

When Progress Iowa opened our doors nearly three years ago, our goal was clear: empower progressive voices to make Iowa a better place.

The election results last night were disappointing, but our goal remains the same.

We’re still here to fight for what we believe in. Not just on election day, but every day.

We believe our public schools are our best investment, and critical to ensuring a fair shot at the American dream.

We believe working Iowans deserve quality, good paying jobs, and the right to organize in the workplace.

We believe every Iowan deserves a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work, whether you work in a fast food restaurant or are a corporate CEO, and regardless of gender.

We believe every Iowan deserves access to quality healthcare, and that women, not politicians, are the best ones to make their health care decisions.

We believe our government ought to serve all Iowans, as a place where we come together as a community to provide each other with public safety, good roads and bridges, schools, and clean water.

Progress Iowa exists because while campaigns come and go, we have to fight for the values we believe in every year, not just during election years.

And while last night’s election result was disappointing, we believe Iowa will be a better place tomorrow than it is today as long as we continue to fight for what we believe in.

This isn’t over. Far from it.

Are you in?

Sincerely,

Matt Sinovic
Executive Director
Progress Iowa
