Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement
We are everyday people who talk, act and get things done on critical issues affecting everyday Iowans.
Issues like having a factory farm move in next door, devaluing your property and ruining your quality of life; or shady lenders that take advantage of families.
And we’re good at it. We've stopped dozens of factory farms from building; and, over the past few years, members have helped families recover over $5 million from shady lenders.
We have thousands of members across Iowa from all walks of life – urban and rural, black and white, immigrants and lifelong Iowans – and we’re working together to get things done.
