Dear friends, On Friday March 28, sixteen “friend-of-the-court” briefs or Amicus briefs were filed with the Iowa Supreme Court on behalf of the six same-sex couples and their families seeking marriage in Iowa. Along with Lambda Legal and other national signatories, over 250 of the individual brief signatories are Iowans, likely representing thousands of other Iowans through each signatory organization's membership. One Iowa and many of our partner organizations in Iowa are proud to be represented in this historic journey toward equality.
In celebration of this historic case, One Iowa is hosting four Amicus Brief events across the state to give an update on the case, focus on the “friend-of-the-court” briefs, and discuss how you can become more involved in this campaign toward equality. Upcoming events will be:
