This is not a typical protest. Before arriving, please read A Call for Peace between Officers and Civilians.
To make this action positive and effective (to prevent distraction from the laws we're trying to get enforced), only bring posters or signs with THESE MESSAGES written on them.

Signage with other messaging will not be affiliated with SR or this Event. Email StudentReformationists@gmail.com to request a similar sign idea.
Familiarize yourself with THESE LAWS and THESE GLOSSARY TERMS prior to arriving. Remember, SR will be editing and refining all content throughout this Call to Action up until the Event. When you come across unfinished material, know that it will be made clear soon.

OFFICIAL REQUEST FOR VOLUNTEERS.
AFTER COMPLAINTS ARE FILED, WE WALK TO THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURTHOUSE:
After all Criminal Complaints have been filed, Participants, led by Officers of SR, will walk next door to the U.S. (federal) District Courthouse. This is where SR will file the CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against the same persons who are Defendants in the Criminal Complaint. Basically, 18 US Code § 241 Conspiracy against rights is a criminal statute, and 42 USC § 1985 Conspiracy to interfere with civil rights provides a right of action for the recovery of damages. If you are unsure the difference between criminal and civil law, read this.
ATTN: ALL EXECUTIVE BRANCH PERSONNEL:
In the event that Kim Reynolds, Donald Trump, and/or any Officer, of any agency abuses their Authority via commanding:
-
Any member of the Executive Branch to arrest and/or impede or obstruct, in any manner, from allowing Citizens access to our Due Process Rights (e.g. not allowing us to file the Complaints and/or Class Action), and/or denying Due Process based on some legal argument or case ruling (we will challenge any such ruling as facially unconstitutionally) or
-
The Executive Branch not to make the arrests related to our Complaint,
Please note that, if anyone were try attempt to prevent the execution of the laws cited in the criminal complaint, that person(s) could be tried with seditious conspiracy. 18 USCA § 2384.
SR formally requests any and all Executive Branch Personnel to protect civilians against any and all such tyranny. If a tyrannical and/or oppressive order is given to you from the top-down, please remember the words of Abraham Lincoln, “The people – the people – are the rightful masters of both congresses and courts – not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it.” We hereby pre-emptively respectfully thank you for your service, and humbly request your protection. The signing of the Magna Carta embedded the fact that neither King nor President is above a true Law.
The following flier (which may be downloaded here) will be sent to Kim Reynolds and Donald Trump on 3/24/2025 (best viewed on desktop computer):
IF OFFICERS ARE ORDERED NOT TO MAKE ARRESTS, SR's PRESIDENT WILL INITIATE THE ARREST:
Although the below flier explains that Iowa Code 804.24 authorizes Citizens to make a Citizen's Arrest, Participants are strongly discouraged from doing so because we do not want anyone to feel threatened. If Officers are commanded not to make the arrests, SR requests any and all Officers to stand down, even if ordered to do otherwise, so that the President of SR may safely approach, unarmed, to make an arrest. Miranda Rights will be read, and the paperwork will be in order. SR respectfully requests safety and protection for all Civilians. Thank you, Officers!
FLAGS REQUESTED
Due to their meaning in relation to this particular action, the presence of THESE SPECIFIC FLAGS is requested. Please bring them, and treat them respectfully.
SOLIDARITY FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS!
Every statute cited throughout the Complaint and the Petition, including 42 USC §§ 1985 and 1986, not only apply to trans rights, but also to women's rights. This is mentioned due to the (politically) recent attacks on the right to abortion, for example, a well-established, court-created "unenumerated right" guaranteed by the Ninth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
SR respectfully calls upon everyone reading this to have compassion and wisdom instead of turning against fellow Citizens. When politicians "divide and conquer", we must remember: "united we stand, divided we fall."
A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM STUDENT REFORMATIONISTS
As Officers and Founding Members, we would like to share why we created this organization. Following numerous political attacks by high profile individuals against DEI initiatives, women's rights, and transgender folk in recent years, Iowa State University's Center for LGBTQIA+ Success was shut down due to what appears to be a 9 individuals who were appointed to the Iowa Board of Regents by Governor Kim Reynolds.
The Iowa Civil Rights Act protects various classes of persons who have historically been discriminated against. Today, as politicians do their same old story of divide and conquer, riling up malice toward LGBT+ folk and international students,
HELP SPREAD THE WORD
March 31 is almost here!!! This is an all-hands-on-deck, Paul Revere-level First Amendment moment!! Student Reformationists kindly requests everyone reading this to forward it, alongside supportive words telling them why you think it is important, to (1) one person and (2) one organization. If everyone forwards this web page to one person and to one organization, we can make this moment go anti-viral! Also, please DOWNLOAD BOTH EVENT FLIERS, and distribute them anywhere and everywhere. Thank you for doing so!
THANK YOU, MILITARY VETERANS!!
Thank you dearly, Military, Law Enforcement, and Veterans for protecting our First, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights, and numerous other rights unmentioned. Thank you for our safety. Thank you to all government officials who feel like you work thanklessly for no reason, at times. As civilians, it seems easy to take these things for granted, and to feel resentment toward the government due to so many politicians and news media personnel, for example, saying terrible things about transgender people; we are in the news nearly every day, and often not with a positive light shining on our "community" (people we can relate to via having a shared experience, to a measure).
ABOUT STUDENT REFORMATIONISTS:
The Iowa State University Chapter of Student Reformatationists (SR) was established at the beginning of the spring 2025 semester, with the help of Wild Willpower PAC (WWP).
Student organization are in a unique position to be able to speak our minds and share our findings with the world.
We intend to become an intercollegiate student organization dedicated toward building lawsuits and performing respectful, effective activism in favor of the advancement of human rights and improvement of the general welfare of the American people and, in turn, people across the globe.
SR invites ISU's pre-law students who have a strong sense of justice and a desire to use legal knowledge to make a positive impact in society to team up with artists, activists, speakers, graphic designers, concerned community members, and law students, paralegals, and interested scholars from colleges and universities in order to create winning, just lawsuits and public information campaigns to let the public know what is happening and offer feedback.
SR works toward educating fellow students, faculty and staff, and the general public on important issues of our times, and to work with integrity and toward humanity's common good.
