The League of Iowa
Human & Civil Rights Agencies

Welcome to the League of Iowa Human & Civil Rights Agencies is a statewide organization of the Iowa Civil Rights Commission (ICRC), the Iowa Department of Human Rights (DHR) and the 29 local civil and human rights commissions in the State of Iowa.

On behalf of the Webster County Cultural Diversity Team, VISTA member, Jarrod Feld, applied for a Pepsi Refresh Grant to fund the creation of a MLK community garden in Ford Dodge. However,  there’s a twist.  All grants are awarded based solely on popular vote!  One vote per day is allowed from each computer during the month of February.  At the end of the voting period, the top ten vote-getters will receive the grant money.  Please take the time to create and account and vote for thecommunity garden project.  The Refresh Project will not share or use your email address for any reason.
