Find a Local Organization
Iowa Liberty Network knows that our strength is in our local grassroots and the relationships we form in our own counties and towns. Many Iowans who are actively working to preserve liberties locally are also the ones who call, email and show up at the statehouse when it matters most. For that reason, we actively support those who are working to form a local face to face group.
While we do not personally endorse individual groups, we do want to point your attention to some local contact people and groups who have stepped up to be that local resource in their area.
If you see your county listed, reach out and ask how you can get involved. Check back often as we add more contacts to the list.
If you have connections to another local group that meets in person and actively supports Iowa Liberty Network's mission to restore and preserve liberty, or if you would like to be a point person for your county, please contact us at grassroots@iowalibertynetwork.com or 515-474-1568.

What you can do locally
Find those in your town or county who are also interested in preserving liberty and start gathering. Build your own community even if it’s a handful of Constitutional conservatives who are determined to move the needle closer to liberty in Iowa and in your own county. Meet in person at least once a month. Make sure you are focused on activism and not just discussion and education.
Get to know your county supervisors, school board members, library board,and city council members. Choose a meeting of interest and start attending. Determine who in your circles can be the point person for each local entity. Go to your county website to find out what appointed boards are in your county. Find out when there are openings and how to apply to serve on a board. You might need to contact a county supervisor or an existing member of a board. Compile this information as a resource for others. It's typically not all in one place and details are not always published online.
Find out when legislative forums are held for your Iowa House Representative and State Senator. Get the word out to your liberty focused friends so they can show up and get to know these public servants. Local chambers of commerce often host forums so check with them for details. If no forums are held, work on hosting one. They should be held during legislative session and are typically held between February and April.
If all this sounds like too much to bite off to start, you're right. It is. Choose one thing, work on that and then add something else. At the same time, keep reaching out to others locally so you can divide up tasks and serve as subject matter experts on an issue, a bill, a local ordinance or a board. As you do this, you will find that you have allies in this fight.
Iowa Liberty Network can help you connect with others in your area and help get you started if you need some direction. Please contact us for assistance.
