Iowa Freedom Summit 1/9/21 – RECAP (submitted by Tom Barr)
If you didn’t get to attend this Zoom Conference I am listing the “Link” below for your use. We had 6 speakers, all of whom were good and informative. But if you can’t watch them all, please at least go to the 54.7 minute of the 1 1/2 conference and listen to Heather Brown, a survivor who spoke of her personal experience.
I would suggest you don’t need to watch the video, but please ‘listen’ to her comments. Well worth your time. Link:
