Across Indiana, Hoosiers are continuing to organize for a free Palestine.

From vigils and rallies to teach-ins, study groups, fundraisers, and community gatherings, there are ways to learn, connect, organize, and show up across the state.

Swipe through to find upcoming events in Bloomington, Evansville, Elkhart, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Lafayette, Muncie, and West Terre Haute, plus organizations to follow and resources to keep learning.

Palestinian liberation is not a moment, a trend, or something we stop talking about when it disappears from the headlines. Solidarity means continuing to pay attention. Continuing to learn. Continuing to organize. Continuing to show up.

Free Palestine, always. 🇵🇸

Class is cancelled due to revolution.

Across Indiana, students are organizing on their campuses, building community, fighting for each other, and refusing to stay quiet while their futures are decided for them.

We put together this guide to make it easier to find the student organizers already doing the work. Inside you’ll find upcoming events and student-led groups at Ball State, ISU, USI, IU Bloomington, IU Indianapolis, Notre Dame, IU South Bend, and Purdue.

From racial justice and immigrant rights to queer liberation, reproductive freedom, Palestine solidarity, feminism, gun violence prevention, labor, and more, there is a place to get involved.

Find your people. Follow their work. Show up to an event. Join an organization. Start organizing where you are.

Students have never just inherited the future. They’ve fought for it. And there’s a whole lot worth fighting for.

Indiana, this is the moment to show up for each other! ICE activity has increased significantly across our state since August 31. Our neighbors need more than our outrage right now. They need our solidarity, our resources, and our courage. Fear is the goal. Isolation is the goal. We refuse both.

We put together this guide so Hoosiers know what to do next.

Inside, you’ll find rapid response networks and trainings, resources for people detained by ICE, immigration legal assistance, mutual aid and bond funds, Know Your Rights materials, upcoming actions, and ways to hold those cooperating with ICE accountable. Spanish translations are included throughout.

Save it. Share it. Learn it. Send it to your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. Join rapid response. Donate if you can. Show up when your community calls. We do not need everyone to do everything. We need everyone to do something.

They want our neighbors afraid and alone. We answer with community, information, resources, and solidarity.

We don’t panic. We organize. Solidarity over fear. Always.

Labor Day Plans? How about coming to our monthly General Meeting on 9/7 at 7pm!

Hear from our Community Defense Committee about the horrific ICE activity and what steps we can take to keep ourselves and our neighbors safe; hear a draft platform from our Electoral Working Group; and learn more about how to get involved the Bread and Roses Bash benefitting Exodus Refugee on September 19.

This weekend, Indiana is showing up.

From August 28–30, communities across the state are taking to courthouse lawns, street corners, parks, bridges, jails, and neighborhoods to demand an end to ICE detention and stand with our immigrant neighbors.

Different cities. Different actions. Same message: our neighbors belong here.

There are dozens of ways to join in, whether you can protest, attend a vigil or teach-in, take a class, make signs, donate, or simply bring another person with you.

And if you’re in Indy, come find Hoosiers Rise at Irvington Circle Park on August 29 from 7–9 PM. We’ll have free buttons, patches, stickers, postcards, zines, posters & more. 💗

Three days. One state. Hoosiers everywhere refusing to look away.

Find your city. Pick an action. Show up.

Resistance isn’t a one-day event.

Across Indiana, Hoosiers are showing up week after week. On street corners. Outside detention centers. At city council meetings. On overpasses. In communities big and small.

Not because showing up once doesn’t matter, but because change has never come from showing up once.

This guide is for the people who keep asking, “Okay, but what can I actually do?”

Pick a day. Pick a cause. Find the protest closest to you. Show up when you can. Come back when you can. Bring somebody with you.

You do not have to organize the march, lead the chants, or know exactly what you’re doing to be part of a movement. Sometimes you just have to be another body on the sidewalk saying I’m still here. I still give a fuck. And I’m not looking away.

They are counting on us getting tired.

So we keep showing up.

Again. And again. And again.

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.

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.

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.
