The Indiana Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists had this to share about the situation at IU:

In my first email exchange with Sister Jannette Pruitt, I noticed her signature line included this statement, “Stand up, Speak out, Get in some Good Trouble!” Then I drove to Oldenburg and spent an afternoon chatting with her… she’s a beautiful force. www.globalsistersreport.org/qas/qa-sr-ja...

You can support the critical work of Indy Documenters, with a donation during this matching gift campaign. Democracy dies in darkness, and our Documenters work to shine a light. Thank you!
