AMOS celebrated 30 years of organizing with 1,200 citizen leaders from 40+ organizations in central Iowa and an 80-person delegation from northeast Iowa! We shared powerful stories on water quality, public school funding, silver alert, EMS response times, and workforce barriers for refugee Iowans and DACA recipients. Together, we gained commitments from the following candidates to work with AMOS on this agenda:

*Gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand
*3rd Congressional District candidate Sarah Trone Garriott
*Iowa Secretary of Agriculture candidate Chris Jones

Candidates make policy pledges at AMOS convention in Clive Candidates for governor, Congress and other Iowa offices made public commitments on water quality, public schools, immigration, rural EMS and a proposed Silver Alert during Sunday’s AMOS convention in Clive.

“Democracy is not a spectator sport, nor is it confined to casting a ballot every few years. True civic power requires continuous cultivation.
