Through public presentations, workshops, media coverage, meetings and engagement with local residents, we work to empower Iowans by offering the information and tools they need to further the mission of 1000 Friends of Iowa. We work to engage Iowans through grassroots organizing; and providing information, assisting with research, and providing tools for everyday Iowans to become involved in local and statewide land use issues. We strive to effect local, state, and federal public policy by monitoring legislation, encouraging Iowans to act when an important issue arises, and educating policymakers about the economic, social, and environmental benefits of responsible land use.
