"Reproductive Freedom Alert" Zoom - Community Event

3/14/2023

Iowa Reproductive Freedom Alert
Tuesday, March 14th at 7:00 pm via Zoom

Gender Equity Forum​
Picture
PACG cannot, and does not, ever endorse a particular candidate for office or ask people to vote for a certain political party. However, there are currently bills in the Iowa legislature that we are very concerned about regarding reproductive freedom. 

Get a preview from House Democratic Leader Rep. Jennifer Konfrst of our newest legislation to protect reproductive freedom for Iowans:


When we started session in January we made a promise to listen to Iowans and then focus on the issues important to them.

In the next week, we'll be releasing our plan for reproductive freedom that will give everyone the right to make their own health care decisions, especially when it comes to reproductive care and abortion.

We believe lawmakers have no place interfering in someone else’s decisions about when to start a family. We believe that private health care decisions belong between an individual, their family, and their doctor.

Please stay tuned!


And learn more about the bills circulating by GOP lawmakers that could restrict access to reproductive care.

LGBTQ+ Prayer Vigil - What You Can Do Now

2/7/2023

0 Comments

 

Prayer Vigil for our LGBTQ+ Neighbors
Friday, February 10th at 6:30 pm

Metropolitan Community Church of the Quad Cities
2930 W Locust ST
Davenport, IA 52804 (map)


One Human Family - QCA

​
Here is a link to an article in Saturday, February 4th's QC Times about how the Davenport police foiled a plot to violently attack the QCA’s LGBTQ+ community. The threat of a mass shooting event has come to our town! There is no underestimating the seriousness of this threat!
 
This is a time when we need to stand in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ neighbors. One way is by attending a Prayer Vigil that will be held next Friday (February 10th) at the Metropolitan Community Church, starting at 6:30 p.m. Since the Prayer Vigil has been scheduled at the same time as the Jewish community’s weekly Shabbat evening service, unfortunately, many from the Jewish community will be unable to attend. Please do not take the absence of Jews at the Prayer Vigil to mean that the Jewish community does not care about this issue. The Jews of the Quad Cities stand in firm solidarity with our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

This year the annual QC Environmental Film Series begins on January 22nd and ends on March 5th. Presentations always begin at 2:00 pm. Each Sunday the films will be shown at different locations.

The films were selected this year by a set of youth judges, with hopes of building interest and activism in younger environmentalists. You can buy tickets for individual films for $5 each, or for the entire series of six films for $20. Or, if you want to have even more fun and connection to these activities, you could part of the Film Crew and help sponsor the event and get a season film pass for $50!
