Ahh! New England in the Autumn! I’m glad Black Iowa News found new and informative ways of reaching smaller communities, since Iowa is primarily populated by them. It will be so important to get that perspective as we head into the 2024 electoral year. I have found more liberal towns in Eastern Iowa. Perhaps you may find stringers for smaller community coverage.

I would like to more about small towns. I work in two small Iowa towns and I love the community spirit even in the midst of despair.

Then you would have loved the summit. They discussed small towns in the context of opportunities, rather than lack. They also had some great speakers who had created phenomenal shifts in people’s thinking that led to wide-ranging changes. One speaker discussed how her town first had to “name what you want”before it could come together to make changes. Consider going next year. You’d love it.

Thank you for this! What an opportunity to network and learn what is happening in other forward thinking communities. You continue to be a positive, inspiring voice in Iowa and I always look forward to see what you will bring to the table next. You give me a much needed shot of hope and enthusiasm, keep up the good work!
