📞 🚨 Today’s Call Your Senator Alert! Tell your Senator to vote NO on SB76!
Flood the Phone: Stop SB 76. This bill forces local police agencies to cooperate with ICE. It will increase fear in our communities, decrease public safety, and create financial devastation for leg immigrants who are mistakenly detained. Call your state senator at 317-232-9400. Pro Tip: Tell the switchboard your address for your direct senator. What you say: I oppose SB 76. I want Senator ___ to vote note on this bill. I do not support cooperation between local law-enforcement and ice.

🚨 Action Needed: Oppose Indiana SB001
Our partners Mad Voters and Voices 4 Democracy are tracking the most harmful bills at the Statehouse. See the Substack link in comments on the current “Dirty Dozen.” Today’s focus: SB001, which targets the poorest Hoosiers by cutting SNAP and Medicaid.
Wednesday, February 4 Our Focus - SB001 What it does: Targets the poor. How it does it: Drastically cuts spending on SNAP and Medicaid by significantly tightening eligibility and administrative requirements for either program. It reverts Indiana to stricter federal income and asset limits, which are already laughably low limits ($5K in assets and $2,680 in monthly take-home pay). Who You Call: Committee Chairman, Rep. Jeff - Thompson at (317) 232-9651 What You Say: I oppose SB001. 1) This bill will cause millions of working families and senior citizens to lose needed food and healthcare benefits. 2) It puts an unfair burden on immigrants residing legally in the U.S. by requiring them to re-prove their status. 3) It will lead to removal of eligible people from the rolls because of the increased re-certification requirement and burdensome process. 4) It dramatically increases the administrative burden and costs on FSSA becanse of 6-month recertification requirement instead of an annual recertification requirement. PLEASE share this call to action with all your contacts.

This is an URGENT call to action and we hope that you will call your representatives to encourage them to vote no on SB012! Time is of the essence as they are voting on this NOW!
Urgent Policy Action Alert This is a quick, high-impact pro-democracy action. Act now: Call your state representative at 317-232-9400 and urge them to vote NO on SB 012, which would ban Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in Indiana. RCV gives voters more choice and can reduce polarization and extremism. Instead of letting Hoosiers learn about it or vote on it, GOP legislators have introduced SB 012 to ban RCV before the public has a chance to consider it. RCV is already used successfully in parts of the U.S., including statewide in Maine and Alaska. The Senate vote is happening now, but the bill can still be stopped in the House. A committee hearing with public testimony is coming soon, as legislators aim to end the session by next month. This is our chance to speak out. SB 012 does nothing to improve voter turnout, election trust, or governance. It simply restricts voter choice and permanently removes RCV from consideration in Indiana—another attempt to lock in one-party rule through anti-competitive policies and gerrymandering. Indiana is not a ruby-red state; it’s purple. For the sake of our democracy—and future generations—let’s defeat SB 012. Take action today and tell your legislators: don’t cripple democracy in Indiana. IndivisibleBooneIndiana@proton.me

SB 012 restricts voter choice. Ranked-choice voting is already used in places like Maine and Alaska, and lets voters express their preferences without “wasting” votes. Banning won’t fix turnout or trust—it just limits Indiana’s future. Tell your state senator to vote NO on SB 012. #HoosierActivism
Prohibition of ranked choice voting. Author Senator Blake Doriot, Senator Chris Garten, Senator Mike gas kill republican. Preemptively prohibits the use of ranked choice voting in Indiana elections. This means that voters will not be able to rank candidates by preference, and elections will continue using traditional voting methods. This bill doesn't resolve low voter turnout or improve voter access. The status on this bill is that it's past the second reading, step two of eight steps. Call to action. Call your state senator at 317-232-9400.

Trump knows his policies are so unpopular he’s likely to lose seats next year. Indiana Gov. Braun is spending $32k a day for a special session to allow him to cheat Hoosiers of their representation. Please join us alongside @madvoters.bsky.social on Monday, November 3 at the Indiana Statehouse.

Just a few things to remember as we head into the upcoming No Kings event this weekend 10/18 at the Indiana Statehouse from 11-2 pm.
Don’t sit down in a protest. Non-violence works best when it’s strategic. It’s harder to get up quickly, especially for those with mobility issues. Tear gas sinks people on the ground are at higher risk. Staying mobile helps peace marshals de-escalate. Stand, link, arms, walk, slow slowly, document silently. Consider these alternatives. Protest safety we don’t think there will be any trouble at the No Kings rally, but your safety is the top priority. In the event of a security issue or if you need assistance, look for safety marshals wearing Daglow vests or armbands. They’re there to help you. If you have a medical emergency, call 911 first. In the event of a conflict, stay calm, stay, nonviolent, stay with a buddy.
