Power in Our Numbers

Power in Our Numbers will be sponsoring a Voter Registration Day of Action throughout the
Quad Cities area on Saturday, August 10th from 11 – 3. Power In Our Numbers is a non-
partisan partnership of local organizations in the Iowa and Illinois Quad Cities. This
organization works together in partnership to maintain and enhance objectives in our Quad Cities
community that will allow our voices to matter.

The Voter Registration Day of Action will allow Quad Citians the opportunity to:

Register to vote
Find election and voter information
Pick up absentee ballot request forms
Get answers to questions concerning voting

There will be a central location at the Third Missionary Baptist Church parking lot at 222 W. 14th
St. in Davenport, Iowa with members and volunteers present from 11 – 3 providing voter
information. Members will also be visiting QC churches, beauty salons, barbershops, and local
businesses sharing informational packets and giving out information on that day about voting in
our November 5th General Election.

Because Your Voice Matters!

The purpose of the Day of Action is exactly that…bringing awareness, getting our Quad Citians
involved and ready to express themselves in selecting those individuals who will be able to assist
in making our community safe and prosperous for each and every one of us.

Democracy in the Balance Community Gatherings - After Action Report

Board of Directors

We were very pleased with the great turn out we had the last week in June for our three Democracy in the Balance Gatherings! If you attended, you were able to see the amount of work that went into these Zooms. And we appreciate your willingness to try to figure out a way to channel your feelings about the November election into action!

We were encouraged by the great questions that attendees asked and their desire to help out with our Adopt a Precinct efforts. If you have not already joined one of our volunteer Teams, you can still do it! Sign up from this PACG blog post by contacting the respective Team Leader. You can join more than one team.

Vision Leads will conduct Bridge Builder training for Voter Contact and Voter Education/Registration Teams on Sunday, July 14th from 3:00 to 5:30 pm at the MLK Interpretive Center in Davenport. Please register here for the training. If you would like to work with voters but cannot attend that training, please email us to let us know.

Thanks again for a fun turnout!

Abortion Rights Solidarity Circle in Davenport - Action Alert!

Call to Action! Solidarity Circle for Abortion Rights
Friday at 6:00 pm

Lafayette Park
700 W 4th ST
Davenport, IA (map)Gender Equity Forum

Planned Parenthood of the North Central States

The Iowa Supreme Court decision on the six-week abortion ban will be released on Friday, June 28th. The six-week ban was passed in 2018 but was found to be unconstitutional and never went into effect. Republican lawmakers passed another six-week abortion ban in June 2023, but an injunction was placed on the ban by the Iowa Supreme Court. On Friday the Court will decide whether to let the ban go into effect or not.

In response to the upcoming Iowa Supreme Court decision, Planned Parenthood has organized a rally either in celebration of our retained rights of reproductive freedom or against the cruelty of imposing an abortion ban in Iowa. We firmly believe that reproductive decisions need to be made between an individual and their health care provider. The government should not intervene in any way.

The Gender Equity forum of PACG invites you and your friends to join other supporters of reproductive rights in Lafayette Park at 6:00 pm. We will gather and walk down 4th ST during rush hour for maximum visibility. Planned Parenthood will have plenty of signs in case you don't have your own.

In solidarity!

The Davenport event will be Saturday, June 22nd at Vander Veer Park in Davenport (Note: the Women's March has declared June 24th the National Day of Action but in Davenport we will rally on June 22nd).

Please sign up in advance to let the organizer know you are coming, in case there are weather-related changes.

The Friends of MLK

In January 2014, a City of Davenport task force, gathered by former City of Davenport Mayor Gluba, created a plan to build the first formal memorial of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr in the City of Davenport. Now, ten years later, we are ready to make this vision a reality!
