Ottumwa Say No to Coal Teach-in

Start: Thursday, August 17, 2023 6:00 PM

End: Thursday, August 17, 2023 8:00 PM

We are visiting communities with coal plants across Iowa to grow our movement demanding an end to fossil fuels and a just transition to a 100% clean energy system. Our next stop is in Ottumwa which is just south of a coal plant co-owned by MidAmerican and Alliant Energy on the Des Moines River.

Join us for a free dinner from Pupuseria Juanita's Restaurant and to discuss the:

  • negative impacts of local coal plants,
  • benefits of transitioning to clean energy, and
  • ways we can take action to reverse the climate crisis while uplifting our communities.

Everyone deserves clean air, clean water, and a habitable environment. Coal-burning power plants endanger those rights for all of us. Especially in communities where they're located. While local residents are suffering the consequences of coal-burning, MidAmerican Energy is making record profits. Enough is enough.
