Ways to Support Clean Air For Everyone Iowa - Citizens' Action Network

1. Become a C.A.F.E. Iowa CAN member. Ask your family and friends to join you.

2. Host a membership drive. This is a great way to educate the public about the issue, find supporters and host an event to increase membership and educate your community.

3. Contact your local legislators. Tell them that someday you would like to see full funding for tobacco control. In these financial times, you hope they will not make disportionate cuts to the tobacco division because there is still lots of work to so.  Every Iowans who needs it should have access to tobacco cessation and we can’t stop funding youth prevention. This can be done by meeting in person, making a phone call, or writing a letter or e-mail. Contact information for your senator and legislator can be found at http://www.legis.state.ia.us/find-leg/.

4. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper.  Express your support for providing funding for tobacco control and cessation services. Encourage others to write letters to the editor.

5. Attend local legislative gatherings. Most legislators hold forums, breakfasts, etc. in their local communities monthly during the legislative session. Attend a legislative forum and ask your representatives if they support maintaining funding for tobacco control and cessation services.

7. Attend a lobby day. CAFE Iowa CAN, Iowa Tobacco Prevention Alliance, American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, and the American Heart Association are all partnering organizations who are working to prevent tobacco related illness.


Help us reach our goal by asking your family, friends, and co-workers to join.
