Welcome to the new We the People: Indiana United. Our goal is to be a hub for local activists and organizations. We’re a diverse group of people who are plugged in to different issues and groups around the state, but we primarily believe in equal rights for ALL people.

​

In our work as activists, we’ve noticed that groups tend to be siloed off—not because they don’t want to connect with others, just because everyone is so busy and there are so many things worth fighting for! We want to be a bridge to connect activists and the organizations that need their support.

​Upcoming Events

Our history

We’re just starting out as a group, so our history is pretty short! We all met through a different protest organization, and we found we all enjoyed working together and have some common outlooks and goals.

 

Our members, however, have a long and storied history in protesting around the state. We’ve all fought for human rights, equality, and freedom for decades. The only new part of our fight is us working together under our new name.

 

We have combat veterans, lifelong Hoosiers, religious people, atheists, trans people, gay people, bi people, straight people, and all sorts of people who believe that our state can do and be better.

Want to join us? Come to one of our protests, which will be the first Saturday of the month, beginning in October. You can also email us at wtpunitedindiana@gmail.com, or reach out to us on our social media. 

Our goals

  • Uphold our founding principles and documents, including the Constitution and the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for ALL people.

  • Build systems in the government and community that promote and support equality.

  • Promote fair elections without interference from big money and help facilitate people voting in them.

  • Remove Trump and likeminded state politicians and their policymakers.

  • Be a community resource and build connections between existing resources and groups.

Join us!

We’re doing the work that so many other groups are doing. If you’ve already found your organizing home in a different group, please come to our events to learn more about what’s going on around the state and be a part of our overall movement.

If you’d like to join us, but have commitments to other protests groups, please sign up! You can be as involved as you’d like. If you find you have some time, go ahead and join in when you can! Most of our members have commitments to a diverse group of organizations, which we believe strengthens us as a whole.

We have retirees, full-time workers, parents, and grandparents on our team. We fully understand that We the People United cannot be anyone’s full-time commitment, and we’re happy to make the best use of the time you can give us.

If you’re ready to get started, welcome! Please send us an email with your Signal details (if you have them) and if there’s a particular working group you’d like to join. If you have skills or passions you don’t see a place for below, please include them in your email!

Our Working Groups

These are our active teams. If you want to be a part of We the People and don't know where you'd fit, just email us and we'll help you find your spot! You can always join multiple groups and switch between them as you find your footing, too.​

 

If you have talents you don't see represented here, please email us and tell us all about it! We're always growing and expanding.
