✶ STANDING IN SOLIDARITY ✶

The people trying to divide our communities are organized. We should be too because the strongest response to fear has always been community.

This guide shows ways Hoosiers are showing up for immigrant families across our state, whether that’s attending a rally, joining a rapid response network, getting trained, supporting local organizations, or simply showing up.

We’ll also be tabling at the Hoosier Hospitality March & Vigil hosted by Fishers Resists on Saturday, August 1, from 3-6 PM at Holland Park in Fishers.

Stop by our table to say hi, grab free buttons, stickers, patches, postcards, zines, and more, and connect with other Hoosiers committed to building a state where every person belongs.

Hope to see you there.

ARTISTS AGAINST A.I. - Data Center Events & Free Canva Templates

Corporations want us to believe A.I. is inevitable. That resisting it is pointless. That replacing human creativity, labor, and community with algorithms is simply progress. We don’t buy it.

The future doesn’t belong to billionaires, data centers, or algorithms. It belongs to artists. To organizers. To workers. To communities.

A.I. doesn’t just threaten artists. It threatens workers, educators, journalists, organizers, and every movement built by people, for people. That’s why we built this guide.

Inside you’ll find upcoming actions across Indiana, petitions, organizations, educational resources, and our new library of free Canva templates. Because movements deserve real people making real things, not corporations replacing them with machines built on exploitation.

If we’re going to build a better future, we should probably stop outsourcing it to the machines helping corporations destroy it.

The strongest movements in history were never built by machines. They were built by people.

HELP US BUILD THE MOVEMENT

The question we hear more than anything at events is:

“How can I help?”

This is how.

Hoosiers Rise is run entirely by six women. We don’t use AI to find events. Every protest, town hall, mutual aid event, fundraiser, community gathering, and more in our guides is found the old-fashioned way. We spend hours combing through social media, organization pages, community calendars, and local groups because we believe every community deserves to be seen.

But Indiana is a big state. So, we’re inviting you to help us build something bigger.

By joining our Event Finder team you will become the backbone of everything Hoosiers Rise does. No experience needed. No meetings. No pressure. Just neighbors helping neighbors make sure no event, no organizer, and no community gets left behind.

Every event you send helps connect thousands of Hoosiers to opportunities to organize, volunteer, and build community and you’ll help make sure no event, organizer, or community gets left behind.

One event might not seem like much. But to someone looking for a place to belong, it can change everything.

Join our Signal chat through the QR code or link in our bio. The more eyes we have across Indiana, the more complete our guides become. Together, we can make Indiana feel a little smaller and our movements a little stronger.

Sign the Petition to protect Big Oaks Refuge

For years, Hoosiers have enjoyed hunting, fishing, wildlife education, and outdoor recreation at Big Oaks Wildlife Refuge. Now, questions about its future are growing as funding challenges and ongoing negotiations create uncertainty. Hoosiers deserve transparency about what is happening and what comes next.

Big Oaks is more than protected land. It supports local businesses, tourism, conservation efforts, and public access to Indiana's natural landscape. Decisions that affect our communities, economy, and outdoor heritage should be made in the open, not behind closed doors or hidden behind non-disclosure agreements.

I'm fighting for transparency and accountability. Hoosiers deserve honest answers, clear communication, and a seat at the table when decisions impact places like Big Oaks. We must protect our public lands, support our local communities, and ensure government works for the people, not in secrecy.

If you believe Big Oaks should remain accessible and properly funded, I encourage you to sign the petition and make your voice heard. The link here: https://www.change.org/p/save-big-oaks-national-wildlife-refuge-restore-funding-and-protect-public-access?utm_medium=custom_url&utm_source=share_petition&recruited_by_id=dd686720-7cb1-11e4-9d29-1dca3a17391b

Indiana SOS Candidate Beau Bayh answers Qs about Marc Rowan/Apollo Global donations from a local Trauma Therapist

Some background information for more context: https://www.thedp.com/article/2026/02/penn-marc-rowan-jeffrey-epstein-files-emails

This is a clip of Beau Bayh answering questions about his campaign donations from Marc Rowan who is an out of state MAGA billionaire and CEO of Apollo Global from a local trauma therapist.

Marc has donated millions of dollars to Trump and currently sits on Trumps "board of peace" along with Marco Rubio.

His company Apollo Global has financial ties with Jeffrey Epstein (all of this is public information).

I’m sharing Beau Bayhs public response here.

Bobcat hunting & trapping (using cruel wire snare traps and jaw-toothed leg traps) w/ new quota of 400 individuals can lead to complete eradication of bobcats, please mail your comments if you oppose hunting/trapping our beloved bobcats!

Most people do not want them hunted or trapped. 71% of Hoosiers opposed trapping and hunting bobcats.

Lack of evidence. DNR has shown NO official population survey has been conducted. ZERO research done. This means there is no way to know what the actual bobcat population is. They admitted this in 2019.

Bobcats are integral to the health of Indiana’s ecosystems. Along with other predators like foxes and coyotes, they control populations of prey species. Without bobcats, other predators are at risk of overpopulating, further disrupting the food chain and ecosystem health.

A bobcat's main diet is rodents, rabbits, and hares. By keeping rodent populations in check, zoonotic diseases rodents cause like Rocky Mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, tularemia, and Alpha-gal Syndrome, and Lyme disease, are reduced. The economic burden of diagnosed Lyme disease is close to $1 billion per year in the US, according to NIH. Diagnosed Lyme disease costs the state of Indiana $1,200 per patient. Fewer predators mean more rodents and more zoonotic diseases.

Wire neck snare traps and jaw-toothed leg traps are cruel and painful. Other untargeted species including people's pets have been caught in them. Bobcats and other animals can remain in these painful traps for days before hunters check them.

Bobcats were endangered in Indiana from 1969 until 2005. Conservation efforts led to their population increase. When the initial LSA Document #24-383 to trap bobcats was proposed, over 3,000 opposing comments were sent in and DNR still passed the killing quota of 250. THEIR OWN POPULATION MODELS show that a quota of 400 and over will lead to bobcat eradication...yet NOW they want to bump that quota up to 400. LOL WHAT.

Hoosiers who want to weigh in on the proposed expansion of bobcat hunting in Indiana can do so until May 19. Please make your voices heard! We cannot give up. The quota needs to be 0. There is just not enough evidence trapping/hunting of any bobcat! DNR has failed to provide any statistical or scientific analysis of bobcat populations.

Further research is needed to determine if there even is an unhealthy population size that requires control!!!!!

Emailed comments must be sent to lianderson@dnr.in.gov. Only comments sent to that address will be officially considered.

Comments can also be mailed to the following address:

Two people are dead. Dead inside Indiana’s Miami Correctional Facility ICE detention unit in just the first months of 2026.

Let that sit with you. This is not happening somewhere far away. This is Indiana. This is now.

How many deaths make a crisis? How much neglect makes cruelty? How many families have to be torn apart before people decide this matters?

This is not politics as usual. This is not “just policy.” This is life and death, happening here, in our state, right now.

People are being detained. People are being denied care. People are disappearing into a system built to dehumanize them. And if that doesn’t stop you in your tracks, it should.

On May 16, people across the state are showing up to demand an end to ICE detention, to defend immigrant neighbors, and to make it clear that cages, medical neglect, and dehumanization are not justice.

❁ Show up for the living
✿ Honor & mourn those we’ve lost
❀ Fight like hell for those still inside

History remembers what people tolerated.
History also remembers who stood up. Be the second one.

Delegates will vote at the convention for the secretary of state nominee.

If your county/area does not have delegates on the ballot it means your area is uncontested (more open positions than people who filed). Some uncontested counties/areas will still have open positions to appoint more delegates!
