Iowa People's Presidential Forum

By People's Action
The 2020 elections must respond to the needs of people, not big money and wealthy corporations – this election is happening from the grassroots up. It all starts with presidential candidate forums held by People’s Action in four states and anchored in Iowa by Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement Action Fund.
No bland stump speeches allowed!
Presidential candidates will be invited onstage for real conversations with everyday people about big solutions to the struggles facing the multiracial working class.
What are we talking about?
Improved Medicare for All
A Factory Farm Moratorium
A 100% Just Green New Deal
Homes Guarantee
Free College for All
We'll tell our stories and ask presidential candidates to commit to partnering with us to enact our platform if they are elected. You’ll hear from family farmers, first generation immigrants, and workers being paid poverty wages.
These measures will kick the profiteers out of healthcare, energy, housing, and college. We’ll establish a public guaranteed right to healthcare when people are sick, homes when we can’t make the rent, college regardless of our income, and an energy sector that is 100% renewable, community controlled and benefits the people hurt the worst by pollution and climate change.
Iowa CCI Action is one of the largest and most influential organizing networks in the state. We are a progressive, multiracial, working-class coalition of  thousands of Iowans. We fight for racial, gender, climate and economic justice.
People aren't just building our platform: they are committing to vote, volunteer, and give money to enact our platform, run a movement politics campaign that puts people before donors, and elect leaders to co-govern with movement organizations.
