When people are struggling in a moment of crisis, they should get the care they need not locked behind bars. Law Enforcement officials will be accountable to the communities they serve and deploy force only as a last resort. And we fund our lives with community violence reduction strategies that promote healing and redemption, shift resources away from the mass criminalization of Black people, immigrants, and poor families.

As people of faith, we are called to welcome people who travel far from home to make a better life for their families. We work so everyone – no matter when they arrived, how they pray, or how they make a family – can access all the benefits of our communities – healthcare, education, and driver’s licenses, and more. We support a path to full citizenship for all 11 million undocumented immigrants. We oppose any policies that separate family members from each other or promote division and hate.

Whatever our color, background, or zip code, we want our children to have an education that imparts honesty about who we are, integrity in how we treat others, and freedom to pursue our dreams. All of our children deserve an excellent public education, from preschool to college, without taking on debt.

From Gary to Evansville, we are coming together to create an Indiana where we heal the damage done to our communities, so we can have healthy air, water, and land for generations to come. We imagine an Indiana with great jobs in clean industries, clean energy to power our lives at home and work, and healthier communities.

We imagine a world in which every family has what we need to get and stay well. Every working person has a safe, good job. And Everyone has a place to call home at the end of the day. No matter where a person lives, what they look like, or what’s in their wallets. Faith in Indiana is organizing for quality affordable healthcare, housing, and good jobs, no exceptions.
