We are everyday people who talk, act and get things done on critical issues affecting everyday Iowans.

Issues like having a factory farm move in next door, devaluing your property and ruining your quality of life; or shady lenders that take advantage of families.

And we’re good at it. We've stopped dozens of factory farms from building; and, over the past few years, members have helped families recover over $5 million from shady lenders.

We have thousands of members across Iowa from all walks of life – urban and rural, black and white, immigrants and lifelong Iowans – and we’re working together to get things done. CCI staff has over 100 years of combined experience. They provide the training and expertise, but it’s our members that provide the focus and the leadership and the power in numbers.

We are one of those unique organizations that is truly by the people and for the people. We believe you don’t have to stand by and just let things happen, which is probably why we’re growing so much. Sign up as a member today!
