About Us
Mission: 

Our work is not about one person, one party, or one issue. It’s about all of us — we the people — coming together and daring to create a more perfect Indiana.

Programs: 

We use integrated advocacy — litigation, policy advocacy and lobbying, community organizing, and public education — to defend the rights and liberties guaranteed by the U.S. and Indiana Constitutions and civil rights laws. Our work includes protecting:

  • Freedom of speech, association, assembly, and the press
  • Freedom of religion and the separation of church and state
  • Due process and fair treatment by government
  • Privacy and freedom from unwarranted intrusion
  • Equal protection under the law, including racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, disability rights, immigrants’ rights, and the rights of people who are incarcerated

We hold the government accountable in the courts and the Statehouse, and we partner with Hoosiers in communities across Indiana to safeguard individual freedom.
