Iowa CCI Action Fund

The CCI Action Fund is an important independent political force that speaks truth to (political) power and drives the public debate towards populist “people before profits, communities before corporations” policies and actions.

We do citizen-led organizing and lobbying but paired with the new ability to “name names” during candidate elections – to say who supports our issues, values and vision and who does not.

We’re homegrown. We're member-led. Our attention is always on the things that are most important to Iowans.

We don’t drop in one day and leave the next. We’re here day in, day out, this year, next year, and the next, and the next.

Thanks to the energy and support of visionary members, a few years ago we launched the Iowa CCI Action Fund.
