Our news from the Iowa Legislature began with Betty Andrews, president of the Iowa Nebraska NAACP (National Association of the Advancement of Colored People), discussing the effects of proposed legislation from the perspective of people of color. KHOI's legislative reporter Laura Belin continued this discussion to the Amendments on Abortion and Gun Laws. Responding to the difficulty of attending Legislative hearings or lobbying in person during COVID, we played recordings of virtual lobbying by ICCI (Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement Action) with Adam Mason and the ICCI Action virtual Lobby Day.
