Victories in Des Moines

I stand with the 1,056 supporters advocating for justice for Trevontay Jenkins. This issue matters to me because it highlights the urgent need for accountability and justice in our communities. Everyone deserves to feel safe and valued, and when injustices occur, it impacts us all. By supporting Trevontay and his family, we can push for necessary changes that benefit everyone. Let’s unite our voices and make an impact!
Alisha supported: Justice 4 Trevontay Jenkins & a Call 4 Action!
We miss you nephew and I know your momma fighting hard for the justice YOU DESERVE XOXO
Johanna supported: Justice 4 Trevontay Jenkins & a Call 4 Action!
Iowa simply doesn’t represent or care to represent the people in its cities. I’m a Des Moines man through and through, but I’m finding it hard to call myself an Iowan. All Iowans deserve their home and deserve to not face discrimination.
Devin supported: Ask City Council to Declare Des Moines, IA an LGBTQ+ Sanctuary City
As a bisexual woman with many transgender friends I am scared. If they can strip rights from trans people what rights are they going to take next.
Selene supported: Ask City Council to Declare Des Moines, IA an LGBTQ+ Sanctuary City
We were one of the first states to recognize same-sex marriage, and that brought benefits to the state, not only socially, but monetarily. Even if our elected officials do not care about Queer people, they should care about our money and votes.
Andrea supported: Ask City Council to Declare Des Moines, IA an LGBTQ+ Sanctuary City
As a cis woman, I have never been scared in public restrooms. However, I am scared now with how our rights are being stripped away. It’s not marginalized people who are causing issues for the country.
Maddie supported: Ask City Council to Declare Des Moines, IA an LGBTQ+ Sanctuary City
As a Des Moines native, I hope the city will protect and support its most vulnerable residents. Recent actions by the State Government do not reflect the opinions of the majority, nor do they follow the spirit of our constitution. Des Moines should be open and welcoming to all.
Raine supported: Ask City Council to Declare Des Moines, IA an LGBTQ+ Sanctuary City
Many teenagers, like myself, are politically educated and want a say in who rules our country. If the voting age is lowered, it means that younger voices would be heard, it would promote more voting, and possibly encourage more teens to educate themselves politically to prepare. Sixteen year olds should be allowed to vote and stand for what they believe in.
Lillis supported: Lower the National voting age to 16 in the United States
