Johnson County Democrats - Iowa

3 successful parades! Thank you Coralville, Oxford, and Hills for hosting some wonderful celebrations! Happy 4th! ♥️🤍💙

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Borlaug Elementary community. Tragedy is never easy, & our hearts are w/ those affected. We hold space for the students, families, staff, & loved ones who are grieving and send wishes for comfort, strength, and support in the days ahead.

Happy National Voter Registration Day! Make sure to vote where you sleep!

Make sure to get a bag of popcorn when you visit us at the Johnson County Fair! #jcdems #democrats #jcf26 #joco #fair

If only working families could vote themselves extra vacation days.

We mourn the loss of two more U.S. service members & extend our deepest condolences to their families, friends, & fellow service members. As we honor those lost, we must continue to demand answers, transparency, & accountability from those making decisions that place American troops in harm's way.

One post and we get blocked by Zach Lahn’s campaign on Instagram. Someone is having big feelings 🤣

So much room for activities!

Happy Pride! Another successful Iowa City Pride parade!

Miller-Meeks was in Johnson County 3 times during the last congressional break & every single event was closed-door. Not 1 opportunity for residents to ask questions or hear from her. Just curated photo ops & social media posts trying to rebrand the shortcomings of the “Big Beautiful Bill.”

Happy Easter to all who celebrate! May this season of renewal bring hope, peace, and new beginnings to you and your loved ones.

During Women’s History Month, we’re proud to spotlight three incredible women advocates in Johnson County who are creating meaningful change in our community. This initiative, created by our DEI Committee, celebrates their leadership, compassion, and dedication to uplifting others.

NEW: Under Trump, the national average gas price has soared to $4 a gallon. Americans just experienced the largest monthly increase in gas prices ever recorded. Trump’s war with Iran is raising prices everywhere.

We recognize and uplift the voices, experiences, and contributions of trans individuals today and every day. And we recommit ourselves to building a world where everyone is safe, respected, and empowered to be exactly who they are. You are seen. You are valued. You belong. 🩵🤍🩷🏳️‍⚧️

Johnson County Democrats county Convention. We are ready to get Democrats elected!

Happy Pi Day! 🥧 π = 3.14 Minutes it takes to check your voter registration ≈ 3.14 Coincidence? We think not.

Today we celebrate by recognizing the diverse voices, talents, & leadership of women everywhere. We’re grateful for the women who shape our world every day. Let’s continue building spaces where women of all backgrounds and identities feel respected, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Hope she has her blankie nearby

We mourn the loss of the three American service members killed in the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran. We hold their loved ones in our hearts and honor their ultimate sacrifice. We are also thinking of those injured and praying for their full and speedy recovery.

The decision to bomb Iran raises serious concerns about proportionality, congressional authorization, and long-term strategy. The U.S. experience in Iraq and Afghanistan demonstrates that military force without a clear, achievable objective can spiral into decades of instability.

We honor the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson, a tireless champion for civil rights, economic justice, & political empowerment. He reminded us to “keep hope alive”. This is not just as a slogan, but a call to action. We remember his courage, his faith, & his unwavering commitment to justice.

REMINDER: SSB 3113 is in subcommittee TODAY at noon! There's still time to leave public comment on the legis website: bit.ly/SSB3115

Still thinking about this halftime show this morning. The only thing more powerful than hate is love.

Update: they still haven’t made any comments. They must think we haven’t noticed or hope we will forget. There comes a time when silence becomes betrayal. — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

School funding is moving in the Iowa Senate. Here's Sen. Zimmer to tell you about the bill that advanced out of the Senate Education Committee this week.

The silence is deafening

This Black History Month, the Johnson County Democrats proudly honor the immeasurable contributions Black Americans have made to our community, our democracy, and our nation. We recommit ourselves to listening, learning, and elevating Black voices.

National Vigil for Alex Pretti at the Iowa City VA Medical Center

Everyone still think athletes will avoid DHS (ICE, CBP etc) racial profiling? #WorldCup ⚽️

Micayla Pretti, younger sister of Alex Pretti, speaks out. "Alex was kind, generous, and had a way of lighting up every room he walked into. He was incredibly intelligent and deeply passionate, and he made people feel safe. But most importantly, he was my brother."

While Chuck and Joni are in Clive, let’s make sure all the voicemails are full

As of today, 1/26/26 at 10 PM CST.

Silence is loud

The chaotic tactics of ICE and DHS are the costing human lives. Minneapolis should never have this level of violence. DHS must step back and reassess before more people are harmed. Our hearts are with our Minnesota brothers and sisters. When is enough enough?

Anyone on Skylight or want to see our content on YouTube? We are checking the vibe on where everyone is going after the TikTok ownership change.

Dr. King reminded us that “justice too long delayed is justice denied.” We reflect on the inequities that persist and reaffirm our commitment to confronting them through service, advocacy, and peaceful protest rooted in love, dignity, and respect.

Happy Statehood Day, Iowa. 178 years in, too many workers are leaving, budgets are strained by one-party rule, and our state leads the nation in cancer diagnoses. Johnson County Democrats are fighting for working families, healthcare, and an Iowa people can afford to stay in. The work continues.

Happy Kwanzaa! As we honor the principles of unity, self-determination, collective work, & care for one another, we hold space for those facing hardship this season. May this time be one of reflection, resilience, & renewed commitment to building a more just & compassionate community for all. 🖤❤️💚

Merry Christmas from the Johnson County Democrats. As many celebrate today, we also hold space for those who are struggling, those facing financial stress, health challenges, grief, loneliness, or uncertainty about what comes next. Remember, you are not alone.

Many moments of hope and community in 2025. Looking forward to continuing our work in 2026
