Cedar Rapids Waterloo Iowa City & Dubuque, IA, November 2, 2026 — A directive previously issued to cover the ‘Solidarity’ mural in Dubuque has been reversed by city officials. The original order originated from a presidential campaign team.
The ‘Solidarity’ mural, a significant piece of public art within the city, had been the subject of a directive to be covered. This directive was reportedly issued by representatives of a presidential campaign team operating in the area. However, Dubuque city officials have since taken action to counter this instruction, effectively rescinding the order to conceal the mural.

Following the reversal of the covering order by city officials, the ‘Solidarity’ mural is now expected to remain visible. The decision by officials to reverse the directive suggests a differing perspective on the mural’s presence or the campaign’s request. No further details regarding the timeline of these events or any public reaction have been provided.
The process by which the directive was issued and subsequently reversed, including any communications or meetings between the campaign team and city officials, has not been elaborated upon. The outcome of this situation is that the ‘Solidarity’ mural will continue to be displayed without obstruction, as per the reversed decision by Dubuque authorities.
