Indy Action Coalition Kicks Off Fall Season
Indy Action Coalition kicked off our fall season of organizing, hosting 75 people from a dozen faith-based organizations to start fall listening sessions. Listening sessions are not just about identifying the next set of issues the group will fight for; they are about inviting a new generation of leaders to join in the fight for a more just world. This group of leaders has committed to over 13 listening sessions that will engage 360+ people! Strong and effective campaigns are built because of the collective participation that starts in the listening season. Following these listening sessions, IAC will launch a research phase to uncover the solutions to the challenges and issues that are uncovered.
Everyone is welcome to join at any time! St. Luke’s is hosting our listening session on October 9 at 6:30PM. You can sign up to get on our mailing list or to be contacted by our leaders.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT!
Indy Action Coalition is a grassroots, multi-faith, community organizing movement, building people power to bring about safe, inclusive, and healthy communities. They operate under the Live Free Indiana umbrella, and are connected as a sister movement to Indianapolis’ Black Church Coalition and Validus Movement, making this the largest organizing effort in the state. Our first campaign this spring resulted in $17 million committed in the city budget for Streets to Home Indy, Indy Peace Fellowship gun violence reduction strategy, and Clinician-Led Crisis Response.
