Inside
the Statehouse: MLK Day Edition
Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was a larger than life figure. His efforts in the Civil
Rights Movement continue to inspire and motivate activists to this day.
Dr. King once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is:
'What are you doing for others?'" On this day when Dr. King’s legacy of
activism and social justice is recognized, the Indiana Institute for Working
Families invites you to do something for working Hoosier families.
Listed at the bottom
of this post are the bills the Institute is following this legislative session.
The links will take you to the summary page for each specific bill where you
can find the text of the bill, committee and floor votes, fiscal impact
statements, and proposed amendments. The Institute will also be summarizing key
legislation from our policy agenda each week, right here on Inside the Statehouse!
No matter our personal
circumstances, we can speak up and ensure public policy is meeting the needs of
all who call Indiana home, including the third of Hoosiers who live below
economic self-sufficiency and can’t afford the basics. As our voices and
stories join the narrative, we answer Dr. King’s persistent and urgent
question.
For more resources as
you track a bill, like the Indiana Institute for Working Families on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. If you
believe in our work and want to amplify our message at the Statehouse, we welcome your donations.
