WINNING THE MESSAGING WAR.

Iowa has a long tradition of progressive ideals. We want to take care of each other, to be good neighbors, and to ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

We  hope this guidebook will help Iowans reclaim our progressive history and advocate for progressive values today. It was developed by the Progress Iowa team after more than a year’s worth of conversations with hundreds of Iowans, learning about the policies that impact our lives, and conducting research and polling to make sure we’re on the right track.

We believe everyone who is willing to use their voice for progressive change should have the resources to do so. And we hope the information you read here will help us write a new progressive history together.
