Building Community at the Barack Event in Union Park

These Obama volunteers from Kansas City came to Des Moines last weekend to listen to Barack at a morning event in Union Park. Then they headed out into the neighborhoods for a little canvassing.

The Obama For America headquarters are located at 323 E Locust Street in Des Moines. Contact Aaron Gardner, Field Organizer at (515) 883.2008 to see how you can get involved.

For those of you living in or visiting Iowa, Union Park (map) is located at 1895 Pennsylvania Avenue. According to neighborhood leaders, Union Park is an area that has been naturally integrated for many, many years. I tried to find more history - but couldn’t - so if you know more about the area, please comment and we’ll keep the conversation going.

It’s also home of the Heritage Carousel. Look for another post about an upcoming event there.
