Iowa Talks Back on Foreign Policy
By Erin Finucane, Better World Campaign

The Better World Campaign, together with the Iowa United Nations Association, is hosting a series of five forums in Iowa’s Congressional Districts. Each forum will give Iowans an opportunity to express their views on how the candidates plan to address global challenges such as peace and security, climate change, poverty and hunger, and human rights.  Candidate positions will be explored and the floor will be open for discussion. A state wide forum will be held in Des Moines on October 16th at the Iowa Hunger Summit featuring Jim Leach on “Advancing International Cooperation to Address Global Challenges.”
