Community Response to Raid on Meatpacking Plant
The recent raids on meatpacking plants in the North Central region have had repercussions not only on the households and firms immediately impacted, but have set up a climate of fear throughout the region.
The North Central Regional Center for Rural Development is organizing a multistate research group to examine community response to the recent raids on meatpacking plants. Land-grant university scientists from Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska attended an initial virtual meeting. A second face-to-face research design meeting is planned. The intent is to link to groups in meatpacking communities responding to the increased fear and its impact on local economies and community social capital.
If you are interested in being a part of this research effort, please contact Cornelia Flora, NCRCRD director, at cflora@iastate.edu, (515) 294-1329.
