John,

This year has been especially hard for LGBTQ+ Iowans. Nearly every day brings new attacks - on our rights, our dignity, and our very lives - from Republican leadership at all levels of our government.

But let’s be clear:

We’re still here.

We’re still fighting.

And we still believe that EVERYBODY belongs in Iowa.

That’s why Representative Wichtendahl and I are proud to host our annual Pride fundraiser - and this year, we’re honored to welcome Montana State Representative Zooey Zephyr, a fierce champion for our community.

Two years ago Rep Zephyr was barred from speaking on the Montana House floor, but just two months ago, she helped inspire 17 of her Republican colleagues to join her in defeating an anti-trans bill - with one even speaking out against it on the floor. Rep Zephyr shows us the hope that still remains - our persistence is our greatest asset and the work CANNOT end here.

We hope that you can join us and Representative Zephyr. Here are the details for this big event:

Sunday, June 29th at 4 PM

USW Local 310

125 NE Broadway Ave, Des Moines

You can purchase a ticket now by clicking the button below. You also may purchase a ticket at the door.

Here’s why your support matters:

With fundamental rights under attack by our government, we intend to keep fighting and working to protect freedom, liberty, and justice FOR ALL in Iowa.

Your contributions will help ensure that we will have the resources necessary to help both of us win re-election next year and keep advocating for Iowans.

Can’t make it?

Senator Liz Bennett and Representative Aime Wichtendahl
