Senate Elections Committee votes to cut early voting without opportunity for public comment. 2/16/26: In today's committee hearing, chairman Sen. Mike Gaskill (R) offered an amendment to HB 1359 that would shorten early voting from 28 days to just 16 days in Indiana. THis was passed without opportunity for public comment. When questioned about this, Sen. Gaskin said that the committee heard a similar bill last year, so people had the chance then to testify. That was a COMPLETELY SEPARATE SESSION! The public deserves to have a say in massive policy changes like this one: sneaking it in after that opportunity is an affront to democracy and the will of voters. Tell your state senator to vote NO to HB 1359 as amended at www.madvoters.org/bill-tracker
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.
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.
Due to the impending snowstorm expected in our area, we have decided to postpone this weekend’s scheduled celebration. The event has been rescheduled to Saturday, February 14, 2026 at Broadway United Methodist Church at 609 E. 29th St. Indianapolis, IN. The safety of our community is our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding. Please stay safe and warm, and we look forward to celebrating with you next month!
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
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.

🛡️ Staying Safe at No Kings 2.0 Your safety matters. Here are a few simple steps to stay aware and prepared at the rally:    Stay aware of your surroundings — keep an eye on what’s happening around you.   If you feel sick or injured, medical support is available at the Medic Tent at the front of the rally.   Identify 2–4 exit routes when you arrive in case you need to leave quickly.   Listen for safety announcements from the stage and follow directions.   Look for Safety Marshals in high-visibility vests — they are here to help.   Do not engage with counter-protesters — move away calmly.   If you ever feel unsafe or uncomfortable, leave the area immediately. No Kings Indy works in cooperation with the Indiana Capitol Police and Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department to support everyone’s safety. 👟 Come prepared. 💛 Look out for each other. ✊ We keep us safe.
Know before you go checklist
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.

JD Vance came to Indiana to meet behind closed doors (and unnecessary dramatic curtains) to convince Governor Braun to gerrymander the only two Democrat held seats in the state of Indiana out of their positions for the benefit of Donald Trump. Indiana already has a gerrymandered super-majority, but that's not enough for them. They know their heinous policies are unpopular with the American people, so they have to resort to more cheating to get what they want. While MadVoters held a sit-in at the statehouse, 300 people showed up at the Indiana governor's mansion to say SAVE OUR SEATS - NO MORE GERRYMANDERING!

Wednesday afternoon's group met with Senator Todd Young’s staffer, Roni, for a thoughtful and productive conversation—she took so many notes her pen literally ran out of ink! 👏 Two advocates joined us to share their vision for the Crooked Creek Cultural Campus—a vcommunity space focused on education, arts, culture, and connection. We were thrilled to hear that the Senator’s team will follow up with them directly to explore support for this project. 📆 We also asked about the timeline for the Build Back Better bill in the Senate. While we didn’t get a firm answer, the goal is to move things forward by July 4. 🤝 Democratic candidate for Secretary of State Friends of Blythe Potter showed up, because she believes in reaching across the aisle. She made it clear: Senator Young is in a prime position to not only do the right thing, but to be a leader in the Republican party. She called on him to step up: be honest with the public about what’s happening, why it’s happening, and why others refuse to act. Indivisible Central Indiana is grateful for everyone that showed up this week! These conversations matter—but only if we keep showing up. Let’s make sure our leaders know: we’re watching, we’re organizing, and we’re not going anywhere.
Title: Death Spiral: Republicans’ Medicaid cuts threaten the health care of all Americans—even people on private insurance. 1. Medicaid cuts cause millions to lose health care. 2. People without coverage can’t pay for the care they need. 3. Rural hospitals lose significant revenue. 4. Health care workers are laid off, rural hospitals close. 5. Entire communities lose health care services. Source: CAP “Medicaid Cuts Would Threaten Rural Hospitals” (2023); iStock/Getty Images.
5 individuals smiling at the camera outside of US Senator Todd Young’s office. 📣 Tuesday mornings group met with Monica from Senator Todd Young's staff to share real stories from real Hoosiers—and why policies coming out of Washington matter. 👩‍🔬 A newlywed PhD student studying Parkinson’s worried about losing her identity if she changes her name—and whether there will be enough research funding to finish her work. 🏥 A married couple—an ER doctor and a primary care physician—explained how cutting access to primary care drives up ER visits and costs. The ER doc also raised alarms about proposed cuts to life-saving medical research on heart disease. 🍎 A public school teacher spoke up about hungry kids struggling to learn—and advocated for his own rights and dignity as a teacher with Autism. ✊ And a union member reminded us all: when the rights of any group of workers are stripped away, it sets a dangerous precedent for all of us. ⚓ We expressed our appreciation for his leadership on The Building SHIPS in America Act, a bipartisan effort to revitalize our nation’s shipbuilding industry and strengthen U.S. manufacturing jobs. These conversations weren’t about party lines—they were about people, dignity, and the future we’re building together.
