This week, Iowa women gathered together at house parties across the state. They heard from Dr. Jill Biden via conference call about the importance of women getting involved in the upcoming election and planned next steps for action in organizing other women in their communities.
Dr. Biden spoke about the steps that President Obama has taken to advance women's issues, and the important role that Iowa's women and families will have in building support for the Obama - Biden team locally.
“Since the day he took office, President Obama has been a staunch advocate for Iowa women, working to protect and advance policies that promote fairness, equal opportunity and a level playing field,” - Dr. Jill Biden
