Bring the Amy Cooper law to Iowa!

The Issue

Have you ever had to explain your existence for just being different? Well, we want to educate our fellow Iowans that simply being black, different, or a person of color in a diverse community is not a reasonable cause for suspicious activity. The way we're trying to solve this problem is by bringing a law to Iowa that would make people think twice about falsely calling the police. We would like to change the language in Iowa's code in order to suppress discrimination within our communities. It'll impact the minorities in Iowa, by making them feel safer in their neighborhood and comfortable in their own skin.
