ANNOUNCEMENT: After 5 years of building community, training organizers, and raising hell for the rich and powerful, Iowa Student Action is shutting down. Like many people right now, our organizers are moving into new stages and ways of life. [1/5]

If you are a student or young person looking to take action, start now, where you are. What matters to you? To your friends, classmates, and coworkers? Start talking to each other. [4/5]

A few key lessons: Organize everywhere! Always bring a friend (or 3) Share your story. Listen to others’ Get uncomfortable HAVE FUN When in doubt, ask “Why?” Everyday we choose the world we want to live in. Choose love over fear. Until we meet again ❤️ [5/5]

We've got lots going on this week but don't forget there's another PTRC tonight! Willow Creek Park at 7pm! Food and activities for kids will be provided. Bring your grievances! Also going over Fruins plan to expand police power that council is considering. Mask up!

After the students left, Barker showed up, looking pissed as hell. He and his neighbor angrily put the signs away, complained to me about “harassment,” and turned to walk away behind his house the second I started to film.

Yesterday students/grad students with @IAStudentAction and @cogsunion marched to David Barkers house in Iowa City. Barker owns over 2k apartments that he collects free money from. He gave 63k of it to Repub Gov Kim Reynolds, who then appointed him to Iowa Board Of Regents.

One union nurse said the reality of support for UIHC nurses had its limits during the pandemic: “You know, calling us heroes and putting signs up that's nice but it would be nice to be compensated a little bit for all the extra time and effort.” – at Iowa City, IA

David Barker gave Kim Reynolds $63,000 and Reynolds gave him a seat on the Board of Regents. Too bad money can’t buy the courage to face the students who made you rich.
