Youth & Truth - Day of Action

This event is part of a national effort led by the Zinn Education Project, AAPF, and Black Lives Matter at School to stand in solidarity for Youth and Truth. Young people, educators, parents, and community members are all welcome!

Iowa was one of the first states to adopt legislation that attempts to require educators to lie to students about the role of racism, sexism, heterosexism, transphobia, and other forms of oppression throughout U.S. history. The state continues to pass laws actively attacking youth, public schools, and educators. As Iowans, we stand against this harmful legislation.Join us! 

There will be live music, a book exchange, a chance to pledge to teach the truth and defend LGBTQ+ rights, opportunities to network and strategize, and fun and games.Bring some books to exchange, food or drinks to share, questions, ideas, friends and family, or just bring yourself.Please let the host know if you or your organization are interested in co-hosting or speaking at this event. Come join us and party with a purpose.
