ENVIRONMENTAL CAUCUSES PLANNED ACROSS IOWA

Environmental caucuses are happening across Iowa in December to bring a grassroots voice on 

environmental and public health concerns to state and national leaders.  In the run-up to the 

presidential caucuses and the start of the 2008 legislative session, Iowa is ripe for a serious 

dialogue about how to organize on the local level to achieve big goals on clean air and water, as 

well as tackling local concerns like lead paint and contaminated industrial sites. Many people        

who don't consider themselves environmentalists have concerns about everything from their 

drinking water to global warming.  This is an opportunity for people of diverse backgrounds to 

come together around the environmental issues that affect our daily lives. This a non-partisan 

event organized by Plains Justice, Iowa's only public interest environmental law center, and 

many community volunteers.  For more information, or if transportation is needed, contact 

Plains Justice at 319-362-2120 or [log in to unmask]
