AMOS Institute of Public Life (AMOS IPL) seeks to create health and economic equity through relational community organizing. AMOS IPL will organize Civic Academies with 1,000 Central Iowans to identify and address the barriers and inequities created or exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis impacting the well-being of children, their families, and the community in which they're embedded. The Civic Academy Organizing Strategy will include education related to this public health and economic crisis, small group listening conversations to understand the specific barriers facing families, and launch strategic collective action to address the identified inequities. This work will develop community leaders who can advocate on their own behalf for the health of their families and community.
The AMOS Institute of Public Life is a training and education organization affiliated with A Mid-Iowa Organizing Strategy (AMOS). AMOS IPL is committed to equipping ordinary people with the skills they need to be effective leaders in their workplace, in their congregations and in their communities.
