Gary Tyler is one of at least 200 people who have been exonerated from death row since 1973. More than half were Black. It is long past time to end the death penalty and reform the criminal legal system.

BREAKING: HB 1032, Indiana's mid-decade gerrymandering bill, has passed the House 57-41. The proposed map would restructure all nine districts for 2026, splitting communities and weakening hard-fought representation. Now it heads to the Senate.
