Count US Indiana

From Disability Matters by the Governor's Council for People with Disabilities 

.

Count US Indiana has partnered with Humanity in Action to announce a new Racial Justice and Accessibility fellowship program.

 

Indiana has been in the bottom 5 states for civic literacy and voter turnout five years in a row, and in 2020 specifically, Hoosiers who are Black, live with a disability, and/or have experienced incarceration were devastated by COVID-19, police brutality, job loss, and lack of access to voting and civic engagement. Despite these obstacles, Hoosiers are still fighting for their voices to be heard via protest, voting, legislative advocacy, community service, and all other means of integrated civic engagement.

​

This program is designed for those who identify as Black, live with a disability, and / or have been affected by incarceration in the state of Indiana who are determined to boost voter turnout and integrated civic engagement across their communities leading up to future elections.
