Fighting Injustice Since 2012

Together, we’re building an

Indiana where everyone can thrive.

Faith in Indiana is a vehicle for congregations, clergy, and people of faith to act collectively for racial and economic justice in Indiana. 

We believe every Indiana resident deserves to live in a safe, healthy, and supportive community. No one should be left out. That goal fuels our work with faith communities, community-based groups, partners, and individuals as we challenge the systems that perpetuate inequality in our state. 

We are a multi-racial, nonpartisan coalition of faith communities, community-based groups, and individuals who believe in the power of people … to care for their neighbors, to advocate on behalf of each other, and to make lasting change. We all share a mission to dismantle the systemic barriers to racial and economic equity in Indiana because it is a critical step in building healthier communities throughout Indiana.

Working together, we equip people to influence Indiana’s decision-makers so that they have a voice in the policies that impact our lives, our families, and our entire communities.

Here’s How We’re Building a Stronger Indiana

  • People Power

    We train Indiana residents to become skilled leaders, effective in advancing change.

  • Narrative Power

    We equip priests, pastors, rabbis, and imams to amplify the prophetic voice to shape the public narrative.

  • Voter Power

    We seek to revitalize our democracy through year-round voter engagement.

What we’re up against:

Why is racial justice at the core of our mission? Making Indiana a better place to live — a place where all of our communities thrive— requires asking the hard questions about the discrepancies that exist among us — primarily based on race, zip code, and income.

Those hard questions include:

Why Black Hoosiers are twice as likely to be jailed and 4.5 times as likely to be imprisoned than white Hoosiers. — SAVI

Why children of color are disproportionately impacted by poverty, food insecurity, and school suspensions. — Indiana Youth Institute

Why the annual median income for a Black household is $27,000 less than that of a White household. — U.S. Census Bureau 2021

Why Black men are nearly three times as likely to be shot and killed by police than white men. — Statista

These discrepancies are based on a history of racism, inequality, and discrimination — deeply rooted in our state and in our nation. We must continue our fight until they are eradicated. Only then, can we realize an Indiana that works for all of us.
