The more you know, the more you can help promote independent living in Iowa! You can start by signing up for advocacy education e-mails from the Iowa SILC. The SILC will send out an e-mail when there is federal or state legislation pending that will affect persons with disabilities in Iowa. The information in the e-mail will tell you what the legislation is and how it affects Iowans with disabilities. You will be given contact information for the federal or state legislators involved in making decisions regarding the legislation, and you can then choose if you want to contact them and tell them what you think about the legislation.

To be added to the SILC e-mail distribution list, please fill out the form below. We do not share or sell your email information, and it will only be used by the SILC.

Our federal and state legislators NEED to hear the voices of Iowans with disabilities. For assistance with how to advocate for what you believe, please contact your local Center for Independent Living.

The Iowa SILC is always looking for new Council Members to ensure we have a good statewide representation from various geographic locations, as well as members who represent different types of disabilities.

If you have a passion for helping to grow the Independent Living Movement and Network in Iowa, and wish to be considered for appointment to the SILC Council, please go to the APPLY to Be a SILC Council Member.
