The Indianapolis Liberation Center is a physical and virtual community hub dedicated to advancing the causes of all marginalized, oppressed, exploited, and dispossessed people in Indianapolis and beyond by uniting and working to overcome the divisions imposed on us by the oppressing classes.
By engaging in regular and various kinds of educational, cultural, social, political, and other work, our mission is to foster a sense of collectivity and revive our community’s long-standing belief in the possibility and necessity of creating a different and better world.
Each of the hundreds of cultural, political, educational events, campaigns, meetings, workshops, and struggles we’ve led and hosted since our founding in January 2021 worked to facilitate collaboration between community members, organizers, and those who want to learn how to become organizers.
People of all ages are always welcome at the Indianapolis Liberation Center. We do not segregate based on age, and children are encouraged to participate at Center events in whatever way they and/or their caretakers desire. To remove barriers to parents and other guardians remaining active and present as well, childcare is always immediately available upon request.
The Center is maintained solely by the work of volunteers and the donations of people from our community, our member organizations, and affiliated groups. While posing significant obstacles, it is the only way to ensure our complete political independence.
Interested in Joining the Liberation Center?
The Indianapolis Liberation Center is all about building. Membership is open to all organizations, coalitions, collectives, and other groupings that want to build with others, struggle against oppression, and work for a better future. As a hub working to bridge the divisions historically imposed on us, we welcome groups working for justice for any oppressed, criminalized, dispossessed, exploited, or marginalized community in the city.
Working for liberation takes many forms, and we welcome groups that engage in all kinds of activities, including but not limited to: artistic and creative practices, education, mutual aid and other forms of outreach, and community building.
Membership also takes different shapes depending on the needs and capacity of the Center, the city, and your group. Whether your group has been in the trenches for decades, is newly emerging, or is still taking shape, we will all benefit from working more closely and collaboratively.
Wherever you’re group is at or whatever your goal is, joining the Liberation Center starts with relationship building. If your existing, emerging, or potential group aligns with our mission, email us at info@indyliberationcenter.org and let’s start the conversation!
Be sure to include:
- Your name and contact information
- Your group’s name and history
- A brief description of your mission, goals, and previous work
