On March 7, 1965, 600 ordinary people marched in Selma for the right to vote. They faced brutal violence, but they kept marching.
And just like 1965, we have the power to show up and fight back.
Meet the dedicated @lwvindiana.bsky.social team making a difference at the Hoosier Vote Summit today, fighting to ensure every citizen has an equal voice in our democracy! 🗳️✨ @lwvindiana.bsky.social #HoosiersVote #CivicEngagement
The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of Americans of all ages and races, but younger voters and voters of color would suffer disproportionately. bit.ly/4rA2p4R
🚨 Tell Congress: Oppose the SAVE Act Suite of Bills
The SAVE Act, SAVE America Act, and Make Elections Great Again Act would disproportionately burden military families, married women who’ve changed their names, disaster survivors, and communities of color.

🚨 URGENT ACTION
Indiana lawmakers amended SB 76, making it far more dangerous. The bill now forces K–12 schools, colleges, hospitals, and local agencies to cooperate with ICE, allows access to student records, and imposes $10,000 fines for noncompliance.
👉 ACT NOW: actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...
🚨 ACTION ALERT: In House Committee TODAY — Oppose SB 76
SB 76 puts immigrant Hoosiers at risk and creates serious legal, privacy, and cost concerns.
👉 Take action now:
actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...
🚨Action Alert 🚨
Monday, the Senate Elections Committee is considering HB 1359, which would allow ballots to be scanned without secrecy envelopes — introducing risks to ballot chain of custody.
This bill creates uncertainty we can’t afford.
👉 Oppose HB 1359:

SB 236 is a harmful and unnecessary attack on medication abortion that would invite surveillance of pregnancy outcomes and further endanger Hoosiers.
Contact your Senator ASAP and urge them to oppose this bill.
🔗 actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...
🚨 Oppose SB 182
SB 182 would erase legal recognition of trans, nonbinary, and intersex Hoosiers by redefining sex and gender in Indiana law and banning updates to birth certificates.
📣 Take action: actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...
🚨 SB 277 would significantly weaken IDEM’s ability to protect human and environmental health, including changing more than 40 mandatory environmental protections into discretionary actions.
📣 Contact your legislators and urge them to oppose SB 277:
🔗 actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...
🚨 Oppose SB 267 – Lobby Registration
First Amendment advocates warn this bill could infringe on constitutionally protected advocacy and chill lawful civic engagement.
📣 Urge your legislators to oppose SB 267:

We hope you’ll still join us!
SB 267 isn’t transparency—it’s government overreach.
It chills free speech and the right to protest.
Contact your Senator ASAP.

📣 Bills continue to be filed at the Indiana Statehouse.
Here are some of the bills we’re watching closely.
As these bills move forward, it’s critical that lawmakers hear from Hoosiers who care about public health and safety, gun violence prevention, and community well-being.
