Policies are shifting. Laws are changing and it’s already touching our lives. From education and healthcare to jobs and justice, decisions are being made right now that will shape our communities for years. But here’s the thing—we have a say in what comes next.

We’re pulling up to Martin University for a night of connection, clarity, and action:

🗓 THIS THURSDAY, Aug. 14
📍 Martin University
🕓 Resource Fair | 4–7 PM
🗣 Panel | 6 PM — “Where Do We Go From Here?”

Our panelists are both in the rooms where decisions are made and out in the community doing the work, advocating, educating, and holding space. They’ll break down what’s happening, how it affects us, and the practical steps we can take to push for better before it’s too late.

Panelists:
Dr. Nichole Wilson — IU Health
Doneisha Posey — Impacto Strategies
Kristen Lampkin — Business Equity for Indy
Emory Edwards — EdChoice

This event your chance to get plugged in, meet the people already fighting for our future, and find your role in the movement.
