HB 1333 has been a wild ride. The language that would have allowed data centers and other big industrial developments to be constructed in certain rural communities without public input appears to have hit a wall, and won’t be moving forward. Your voice matters, Hoosiers!

In the news: Noblesville schools, rated as among the best in the state, are laying off staff and cutting their budget in response to funding shortages. These funding shortages came about in part due to policy decisions by our state lawmakers. Our public schools deserve to be fully funded.

Lawmakers are moving forward on SB 76, a bill that mandates that schools, universities fully cooperate with ICE and other immigration authorities, or risk fines. 🚨The bill is scheduled for the House on Monday. Call your state representative at 317-232-9600, or visit MADVoters.org/bill-tracker.

🚨🚨🚨 UPCOMING COMMITTEE HEARING! SB 76 targets our immigrant communities, undermines public trust, and threatens our civil liberties. This bill is scheduled for a Judiciary Committee hearing this Monday at 10:30am in room 156B.

Earlier today, the House Education Committee voted to support a bill that would allow teachers and administrators to post the Ten Commandments in public schools. Every student deserves space to learn that is free from coercion and indoctrination, and HB 1086 clearly violates the First Amendment.

What happened at the Statehouse yesterday? The House did not convene due to the weather, but the Senate did. Here are some highlights. Visit MADVoters.org/bill-tracker to learn more, contact lawmakers, and see tomorrow’s schedule! #madvoters #mutuallyassureddemocracy #getmadindiana #INLegis

⁨After Monday, bills that haven’t been passed by their committee will become “dead" - ineligible to move on. Swipe to see some of the bills that appear to be moving forward.

⁨📷⁩ ⁨Amber Dowd knows firsthand how Indiana’s abortion ban compounds cruelty and grief. Last year, she had to navigate a system made hostile by lawmakers’ restrictive policies to access the care she needed. Now, those lawmakers are trying to add even more barriers to care with SB 236.

Yesterday, the Indiana Senate Judiciary Committee advanced SB 236, which would ban abortion pills & create citizen bounty hunters. Hear attorney Kathleen Delaney explain how this could impact Hoosiers. Contact your Senator at MADVoters.org/bill-tracker and urge them to vote NO to SB 236.

⁨📷⁩ ⁨Indiana House Republicans have filed a bill to force our public schools to post the Ten Commandments in every classroom and library. This is blatantly unconstitutional, and will almost certainly lead to costly taxpayer-funded lawsuits as lawmakers trample on the separation of church and state.

Despite hours of expert testimony explaining how SB 236 would worsen maternal outcomes, reduce healthcare accessibility, invade privacy, and sow chaos in Indiana’s legal landscape, most of the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee decided to advance the bill anyway.

Indiana Just Voted NO on Feeding Hungry Students SB1 Amendment 2. The amendment would have allowed Indiana to participate in the SUN Bucks program, a federal initiative that provides summer SNAP benefits to eligible children. These funds are a lifeline when school is not in session.

SB 88, which tramples on the separation of church and state, is scheduled for a public committee hearing on Wednesday. Want to see the other bills we’re tracking? Visit MADVoters.org/bill-tracker. #INLegis #madvoters #getmadindiana #mutuallyassureddemocracy

SB 236 further targets reproductive freedom and privacy in Indiana, and it’s scheduled for a public committee hearing on Wednesday.

A bill to erase legal recognition of trans, non-binary, and intersex Hoosiers is scheduled for a public committee hearing on Wednesday morning.

Heads up, Hoosiers! Several high alert BAD bills are scheduled for a public committee hearing this Wednesday. Here’s what you can do: ✊ Pack the committee hearing room in solidarity against the bill. 📞 Call your legislators about the bill using our bill tracker: MADVoters.org/bill-tracker

New year, same fight. We are MADVoters, an Indiana volunteer-powered group. We aren’t part of a national organization or a political party. We’re dedicated Hoosiers who believe a more just and thriving state is possible when voters are empowered and engaged, and we’re here to help make that happen.

From overcoming unprecedented mid-decade redistricting, connecting with more Hoosiers than ever, to launching our first-ever billboard campaign, 2025 has been one for the history books! Cheers to continuing to empower civic engagement and building a better Indiana in 2026!🥂 #madvoters #getmadindiana

The Indianapolis Local Education Alliance recommended via vote that governance of IPS be turned over to an all-appointed entity, rather than the current school board. If lawmakers turn ILEA’s recommendation into law, it would mean a shift away from public education to a more privatized model.

⁨🎥⁩ ⁨Can you hear the people sing? A chorus of jubilation rang out last week outside Senate chambers as Trump’s election rigging scheme was defeated 31-19. We’ll carry this energy into the 2026 legislative session when it begins early next month. 💜✊⁩

From our latest MADVoices essay covering the defeat of redistricting: “This victory is a reminder that democracy isn’t defended only in elections... When people show up together, even entrenched systems can be challenged.” Read more at www.madvoters.org/post/a-hoosi... #madvoters #getmadindiana

Last week’s defeat of Trump’s election rigging scheme was an incredible triumph for the people of Indiana. We are so proud and honored to stand shoulder to shoulder with our fellow Hoosiers in defense of our votes and voices. Here are some highlights of the last few months.

Hoosiers, we did it! YOU did it! Trump’s election rigging scheme was just voted down 31-19! PEOPLE POWER FOR THE WIN!

The Senate will vote THIS AFTERNOON on the redistricting bill! Contact your Senator ASAP and urge them to vote NO. Use our easy online action form at MADVoters.org/no-cheaters, or call the operator at 317-232-9400. Please join us at 12:30 as we Pack the Statehouse in Purple for Fair Maps! 💜✊

Today, Sen. Mike Young (District 35-Speedway, Plainfield, Clayton) claimed that “out-of-state, Soros-funded Democrats” were the ones fighting Redistricting. THIS IS NOT TRUE. This has always been a Hoosier-powered movement made up of locals who don’t want DC dictating how we do things in Indiana.

✊ Pack the Statehouse with us at 12:30 on Thursday 12/11. The lawmakers who support redistricting can’t tell us who paid for the maps, when they got the maps, or how the maps were developed… Enough with the games and power plays. Hoosiers deserve transparency, accountability, and honesty.

🏁 LAST CHANCE, HOOSIERS! Please join us this Thursday at 12:30 as we Pack the Statehouse in Purple for Fair Maps! 💜✊ The Senate will vote on Thursday on the redistricting bill, and if they pass it, it will become official and head to Gov. Braun’s desk for his signature.

Neither the bill’s author nor its sponsor can tell us how much the new maps cost. Are Hoosier taxpayers footing the bill for Trump’s election rigging scheme? Sen. Mike Gaskill’s response? “I don’t know what the maps cost or who paid.”
