Since March 5th, 2022, IowaWTF has united middle school, high school, and college students across the state in over 40 schools to walk out 2 years in a row, worked with various other youth-led organizations regarding LGBTQ+ issues, gun violence, and anti-racism, organized marches and rallies throughout central Iowa, and produced educational resources and tools to get students comfortable on Capitol Hill.
