    • We also email a weekly update to our supporters that includes upcoming events around Iowa, articles from the past week on the IPN blog, a petition, and an item from our resource library. Please send us your email address if you'd like to receive these emails.
  • Administer The Penalty Sharing Community, providing support for people who refuse to pay taxes for war or fines for penalties for acts of nonviolent civil disobedience.
