🚨Public libraries need your help! Newly-added language to SB 4 endangers the financial independence of public libraries, and could lead to them being defunded completely.

⏳ This bill is scheduled for Monday 2/23 - take action now!

🚨 Make the call, send the email, pack the voicemail! Please contact your State Senator and urge them to support Amendments 1, 2, or 3 to HB 1359, which will restore Indiana’s early voting window. Otherwise, Hoosiers will have their early voting time nearly cut in half for the upcoming elections.

Sen Gaskill led efforts to slash our early voting window, which would lead to significantly longer voting wait times for voters - WITHOUT ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT!

Contact your Senator at 317-232-9400, or visit MADVoters.org/bill-tracker, and tell them to vote NO on HB 1359 as amended.

HB 1333 has been a wild ride. The language that would have allowed data centers and other big industrial developments to be constructed in certain rural communities without public input appears to have hit a wall, and won’t be moving forward. Your voice matters, Hoosiers!

In the news: Noblesville schools, rated as among the best in the state, are laying off staff and cutting their budget in response to funding shortages. These funding shortages came about in part due to policy decisions by our state lawmakers. Our public schools deserve to be fully funded.

State lawmakers should not be putting Hoosiers in harm’s way by inviting masked, unidentified agents into our schools and communities, especially since those agents already have blood on their hands.

Lawmakers are moving forward on SB 76, a bill that mandates that schools, universities fully cooperate with ICE and other immigration authorities, or risk fines.

🚨The bill is scheduled for the House on Monday. Call your state representative at 317-232-9600, or visit MADVoters.org/bill-tracker.

By moving from annual to semiannual (every 6 months) eligibility renewals, the risk of "procedural disenrollment,” where eligible people lose coverage due to missed paperwork, is increased. This would also increase administrative burden and administrative costs.

The bill also increases mandatory work or training requirements to age 64, and requires verification of immigration status and reporting of non-verified individuals.

SB 1 significantly tightens eligibility and administrative requirements for SNAP and Medicaid, which is estimated to lead to significant benefit cuts or terminations for millions, including working families, people with disabilities, and seniors.
