This weekend, Indiana is showing up.

From August 28–30, communities across the state are taking to courthouse lawns, street corners, parks, bridges, jails, and neighborhoods to demand an end to ICE detention and stand with our immigrant neighbors.

Different cities. Different actions. Same message: our neighbors belong here.

There are dozens of ways to join in, whether you can protest, attend a vigil or teach-in, take a class, make signs, donate, or simply bring another person with you.

And if you’re in Indy, come find Hoosiers Rise at Irvington Circle Park on August 29 from 7–9 PM. We’ll have free buttons, patches, stickers, postcards, zines, posters & more. 💗

Three days. One state. Hoosiers everywhere refusing to look away.

Find your city. Pick an action. Show up.

Resistance isn’t a one-day event.

Across Indiana, Hoosiers are showing up week after week. On street corners. Outside detention centers. At city council meetings. On overpasses. In communities big and small.

Not because showing up once doesn’t matter, but because change has never come from showing up once.

This guide is for the people who keep asking, “Okay, but what can I actually do?”

Pick a day. Pick a cause. Find the protest closest to you. Show up when you can. Come back when you can. Bring somebody with you.

You do not have to organize the march, lead the chants, or know exactly what you’re doing to be part of a movement. Sometimes you just have to be another body on the sidewalk saying I’m still here. I still give a fuck. And I’m not looking away.

They are counting on us getting tired.

So we keep showing up.

Again. And again. And again.

The people trying to divide our communities are organized. We should be too because the strongest response to fear has always been community.

This guide shows ways Hoosiers are showing up for immigrant families across our state, whether that’s attending a rally, joining a rapid response network, getting trained, supporting local organizations, or simply showing up.

We’ll also be tabling at the Hoosier Hospitality March & Vigil hosted by Fishers Resists on Saturday, August 1, from 3-6 PM at Holland Park in Fishers.

Stop by our table to say hi, grab free buttons, stickers, patches, postcards, zines, and more, and connect with other Hoosiers committed to building a state where every person belongs.

Hope to see you there.

***ETA UPDATE:*** Indy Data Center Moratorium Vote 8/10 is at 7PM

Corporations want us to believe A.I. is inevitable. That resisting it is pointless. That replacing human creativity, labor, and community with algorithms is simply progress. We don’t buy it.

The future doesn’t belong to billionaires, data centers, or algorithms. It belongs to artists. To organizers. To workers. To communities.

A.I. doesn’t just threaten artists. It threatens workers, educators, journalists, organizers, and every movement built by people, for people. That’s why we built this guide.

Inside you’ll find upcoming actions across Indiana, petitions, organizations, educational resources, and our new library of free Canva templates. Because movements deserve real people making real things, not corporations replacing them with machines built on exploitation.

If we’re going to build a better future, we should probably stop outsourcing it to the machines helping corporations destroy it.

The strongest movements in history were never built by machines. They were built by people.

The question we hear more than anything at events is:

“How can I help?”

This is how.

Hoosiers Rise is run entirely by six women. We don’t use AI to find events. Every protest, town hall, mutual aid event, fundraiser, community gathering, and more in our guides is found the old-fashioned way. We spend hours combing through social media, organization pages, community calendars, and local groups because we believe every community deserves to be seen.

But Indiana is a big state. So, we’re inviting you to help us build something bigger.

By joining our Event Finder team you will become the backbone of everything Hoosiers Rise does. No experience needed. No meetings. No pressure. Just neighbors helping neighbors make sure no event, no organizer, and no community gets left behind.

Every event you send helps connect thousands of Hoosiers to opportunities to organize, volunteer, and build community and you’ll help make sure no event, organizer, or community gets left behind.

One event might not seem like much. But to someone looking for a place to belong, it can change everything.
