Tuesday, Jan 19th @ 7pm:

Iowans across party lines want good paying jobs, clean air and water and vibrant rural communities - but Iowa has over 10,000 factory farms.

These factory farms generate over 22 billion gallons of toxic, liquid manure which is dumped on farm fields across the state. Before running off into our waterways contributing to Iowa's over 760 impaired waterways.

That's why Iowans across the state are organizing for a moratorium on factory farms. One in four counties have called for a moratorium and stronger protections from the factory farm industry.

Join us for a virtual meeting to learn more and how you can take action in Dubuque county! At this virtual meeting we will:

- Cover the history of the factory farm industry in Iowa;
- Dig into how factory farms harm our community; and
- Share ways how YOU can take action in Dubuque county!

At Iowa CCI, we believe in a better food and farm system one that works for farmers, workers, eaters and the environment.
