AMOS – A Mid-Iowa Organizing Strategy DESCRIPTION CONTACT NAME Liz Hall EMAIL [email protected] AMOS is a non-profit community organization in central Iowa made up of 32 diverse members. AMOS pursues an agenda with multiple issues and responds to the concerns and pressures people feel. These concerns and pressures are identified through hundreds of small-group conversations, and are then explored in depth by investigative issue teams who research the facts and develop possible solutions to the problems. AMOS then acts publicly, bringing the power of organized people to decision-makers to implement the AMOS agenda. Through this three-step process, hundreds of people re-enter public life and reclaim responsibility for their future in central Iowa.
