Our statement on the killing of Herman Whitfield

The time for reform has passed. A shift must begin to engage deep care of community members in crisis: ensuring that they have adequate support for their mental health needs, that there are competent providers responding to those in crisis, and that the means to supply and exceed these needs is not excused away as a lack of financial resources when the reactive police force boasts a budget of over $260M but fails Black bodies in need.

Tell Indiana State Senators to oppose crime bills!

The Indiana State Senate has introduced 5 crime bills that increase our reliance on police and jails, while doing nothing to address the poverty and inequity that endanger our communities. Rather than reduce violence, police and jails are a source of violence, particularly for poor and working class Black, Native, and brown communities.
