Natalie Sugira, ONE’s Iowa Outreach Coordinator, helped kick off Iowa State University’s political action week by talking to students about her life experiences and the power of civic engagement.
Held on Iowa State University’s central campus, students were invited to stop by for an affordable lunch, political discussion, and to hear various speakers discuss issues important to modern society. ONE staff and many student volunteers set up a table and talked with students as they were getting out of class. While Natalie spoke, ONE members walked around with clipboards and ONE bands signing up people in the audience. The next day there was a great article about Political Action Week in the Iowa State Daily featuring quotes from Natalie’s speech as well as a great photo of ONE members. Check out the story here.
