Indiana Forward: Hoosiers for a Hate Crimes Law

Indiana is 1 of 5 states without a clear & inclusive hate crimes law. Now's the time to change that. It's good for our people AND our economy.

STATEMENT ON BIAS CRIMES BILL CONCURRENCE: We are proud to have helped advance the conversation on this topic with the support of many lawmakers who also believe in a comprehensive solution. #INLegis #IndianaForward

STATEMENT ABOUT SB198: After consultation with the @ADL, the Indiana Forward campaign and the ADL believe Senate Bill 198 neither protects all Hoosiers, nor moves Indiana off the lists of states without a bias crimes law.

Halfway is not the #Hoosier way. ACT NOW by telling @GovHolcomb that a comprehensive #biascrimes law is about the safety of Hoosiers and enacting good public policy. #IndianaForward #INLegis

EVERYONE means race. EVERYONE means sexual orientation. EVERYONE means EVERYONE. Don’t let this issue be decided behind closed doors – contact Sens. Bray and Bohacek and tell them why they should DISSENT on SB198. #INLegis #IndianaForward

For Indiana’s bias crimes law to be effective, it must include the FULL list of characteristics that our campaign is advocating for. CALL GOVERNOR HOLCOMB NOW and express why Indiana deserves better. #INLegis #IndianaForward

Indiana needs and deserves a comprehensive bias crimes law that makes us relevant and competitive in today's society and talent-driven economy. SB 198 doesn't get us there yet, but we will continue to push for a fully inclusive bill #INLegis. @INCompetes
