This Saturday, Aug. 2, 2025 is another National Day of Action, and the theme is “Take Back America.”
If you feel powerless or angry or fed up, there’s something you can do and it will help not only you but your fellow neighbors. Come to Big Catch Plaza from 1-2 p.m. with a sign (or not) and show passing motorists you care about what’s happening to our America. That’s the part that will help you, because you will feel heard and will be among others who are just as frustrated.
The part that will help your neighbors is the donation table for the Des Moines Food Bank. Despite what the Trump administration is boasting, grocery prices are NOT going down and the economy is NOT thriving. What helps the local food bank most is cash donations, enabling them to buy in bulk the items people need the most. But non-perishable food donations are also appreciated. Anything helps…
