John, we wanted
to share a critical update on the email we sent you yesterday.

state.

at Iowa Starting Line, but their work won’t stop there.

Starting Line will be there to keep Iowans informed, tell the personal
stories of those impacted by the ban, and hold state elected officials
accountable for their actions. To power their work for the fights ahead,

P.S. In case you missed our email yesterday, we’ve included it below so

team is creating.

The Iowa legislature begins a special session today,
John, for one reason and one
reason only:

After Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed a six-week abortion ban into law
in 2018, the state Supreme Court blocked it. Now she’s called on the
legislature to convene for a special session and pass new measures to ban
the procedure. Many experts believe that the special session could ban
most abortions in Iowa by Wednesday, an outcome a majority of Iowans don’t
support.

ready to cover all the latest developments. But we count on your support
to sustain their work. Will you pitch in $5 today to help

We founded Courier because local newsrooms are dying, and the mainstream
media is more concerned with profits and ratings than filling the coverage
void that’s left behind.

We close the gap by directly sharing vital local news stories in the
online communities that need them the most.

Nowhere has that been more on display than in Iowa, where the Iowa
Starting Line team has produced months of in-depth coverage of the
right-wing attacks on abortion rights and what it could mean for millions
of Iowa women and their families:
