There are so many issues at stake in this election.
Kids are being locked in cages and families are being separated. States across the country are creating significant obstacles to reproductive healthcare. We lock up people, including those who have been convicted of non-violent offenses, at astronomical rates. And we don't allow for those who have been convicted of a felony, including those who are currently incarcerated, from being able to participate in the democratic process.
Our volunteers in Iowa got most of the presidential candidates on the record on these critical issues. With the Iowa Caucuses around the corner, we have the opportunity to elevate the conversation and educate our communities, voters, and caucus-goers on these issues and where the presidential candidates stand so we can hold them accountable.
Can you come and join us for one of our upcoming trainings? ([link removed]) You will learn about our campaign, be trained on how to have conversations on these issues with people in your community, learn about your rights at the caucuses, and what actions you can take on caucus day to advance civil liberties.
Whenever our next president is deciding how to approach one of these policy issues, we want them to feel accountable to us – you, me, impacted communities, and the ACLU. We want them to think about the thousands of conversations we had in Iowa and not only feel like they will do the right thing because it is the right thing, but because they see the power we have built together.
