Indiana Town Halls is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization founded to help revitalize Hoosier democracy


Our mission is to empower citizen engagement through interactive civic dialogue between and among inclusive groups of Hoosiers, their candidates, and elected representatives.

News Indiana aims to raise civic engagement among Millennial and Gen Z Hoosiers by making it easier for them to be informed. It shines a spotlight on politics and policy journalism from across the state, sharing excerpts on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook.

Noticias Indiana is the Spanish-language version of News Indiana, serving the more than 300,000 households in the state that speak Spanish as their primary language.
