June is a busy time with Immigrant Heritage and Pride month, World Refugee and Father’s Days! You can celebrate by donating to Iowa MMJ as we provide critical immigration legal services and come together to make Iowa welcoming for all. Also, head on over to Bartender’s Handshake for their June Community Cocktail benefiting Iowa MMJ! Keep checking back for other events highlighting the talents of Iowa’s immigrants and refugees this month!
