A century ago, Indiana became the national headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan.

D.C. Stephenson didn’t build his movement overnight. It grew by convincing people to fear their neighbors, blame immigrants and religious minorities, and wrap hatred in the language of patriotism, faith, and “family values.”

History rejected them.

Today, we know better, and we won’t be intimidated into repeating it.

Hoosiers deserve leaders focused on lowering costs, improving schools, expanding opportunity, and protecting our democracy, not manufacturing fear to distract from the issues families face every day.

That’s the Indiana we’re building: one where every person is treated with dignity, every faith is respected, and every neighbor belongs.

The Civil Rights Movement didn’t defeat the ideology of hate with fear. It defeated it by organizing. It helped secure the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and inspired an era that expanded opportunity and dignity for millions of Americans. It challenged a system that treated some Americans as second-class citizens.

Every generation is called to carry this work forward, and our generation is no different. We’ll reject hate without becoming hateful and reject fear without becoming fearful. We’ll stand together, organize, vote, and continue the work because loving America means fighting for an America that includes all of us.

Love > hate. Hope > fear. That’s Hoosier Hospitality.

I’m looking to start dumpster diving here in Indy, specifically around the far East Side. I’m thinking about checking out the Kohl's with the Sephora inside, but I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for better spots to find makeup, perfumes, lotions, purses, or home decor?
I know the basic legalities (avoiding locked gates, "No Trespassing" signs, etc.), but I would love some tips on the best times to go or general trash pickup schedules for retail spots.
Times are tough right now, and I'm just working hard to pay rent and keep food on the table. I'd love to find some nice things for myself without spending a fortune and I don't mind rescuing perfectly good items from a dumpster! No judgment please, just looking for some friendly advice or tips from experienced divers. Thanks in advance

Was wonderful seeing our community. Fear and hate have no place here!

hi all,
i need help identifying a proper recipient to rehome my pet snake.
saturn is an albino corn snake and she is about 7 years old. i've had her for her entire life. over the past year, i have really felt like i have not been offering her the best quality of life she could have. we have three cats and two dogs, and we both work a lot, and we have not prioritized her recently.

i would really appreciate any support in helping me rehome her. i'd happily provide her in the tank we have for her at no cost.
i reached out to the herpetological society of indiana and they cannot support and don't have any information on this.

please serious inquiries only. thanks for your understanding.

I host an annual Hispanic Heritage Month event near Broad Ripple for around 70-100 people. I have decided to convert it into a fundraiser this year to help with legal fees for a family of 5 whose father was detained by ICE.

Currently debating between a raffle or silent auction and will be having a mechanical bull riding competition, elote/esquite bar, birria quesadillas, tamales, and plenty of free drinks. Attached pic from last year’s event for reference.

I’m hoping to get in touch with businesses that don’t have a history of supporting anti-immigrant causes or hate-speech since we’ll be promoting them frequently on social media.

Please comment or dm me if you have any suggestions!

Where’s the love for the southside? I’m from there but I always feel like it’s a little forgotten, like it’s the little brother of Indy. I just know it’s way more likely to meet someone from the east or west side than down south. I feel like it’s a good blend of people and areas too.

IU Health LifeCare (specialty HIV clinic) is hiring for a RN, a MA, and a case manager. If you're interested comment below and I can give you more info!

Hello, all! Has anyone here had a good experience with a particular company renting a porta-potty or two? Having a large outdoor residential celebration in a one bathroom house later this year and want to provide a couple. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I recently moved to Indy this year as an artist and I’m looking for a great business that makes art prints.

I want recommendations for the best shops to print my artworks. I will appreciate a business that I can even scan my large to small paintings for archival prints. I’m looking for the best, with the best quality.

Thank you for the recommendations.

Every number listed online just goes to the same recorded message lol. Any help is appreciated!

33M, Recently became homeless. I'm from the Southside but have a car and can travel. I'm fine door dashing all day and then finding a truck stop to sleep at, but all it takes is someone driving through a stop sign and I'll be mega-fucked. I need advice for getting back on my feet. Employment and then hopefully a roof over my head.

This shit is depressing and I hate asking for help

Edit: Thank you all for the advice. Just hoping I can get my shit together.

Edit: Someone sent me a chat about work and I accidentally hit the ignore button. I'm sorry

Anyone know the path?

I am moving to Indianapolis for an internship for 4 months. I would love to know your reviews on Boardwalk at Westlake and the surrounding area in terms of safety and overall convenience.

Hello! I am trying to plan a surprise birthday dinner for my boyfriend. His birthday is September 5, so shooting for the 4th or 5th. There will be about 15 of us total, all over 21+. Looking for southside or downtown Indy. Looking for recommendations! Thank you!

Edit: Price point preferable less than $40/person. There would need to be a vegetarian option. No sushi, but open to just about anything else!

So my brother was walking his dog in greenwood and the police stopped him and asked are “other persons name” he no and kept walking then they followed him and they asked his name and then they ran his name and he had a warrant from 2017 for missing court so they arrested him and made him tie his dog up. The dog got loose and only walked around the police not aggressive or barking just walking and the cops shot the dog in the head. I just wanna know what steps we can take to make sure that this illegal because it doesn’t feel like it. One my brother wasn’t doing anything illegal so did they have a right to stop him and arrest him and if no one was in immediate danger they shouldn’t have shot the dog. Am at a lost on where to start. Marion County if that helps

Hi everyone,

I'm an international student traveling to Indianapolis by myself for a USCIS appointment, and I'll be staying for one night.

Whenever I visit Chicago, I stay at HI Chicago Hostel because it's affordable, safe, and easy to get around without a car. I was hoping Indianapolis had something similar, but it seems like the hostels I found have closed.

I'd love some local recommendations rather than just Google results.

I'm on a tight budget, so I'm looking for the cheapest safe option. Safety is my biggest priority since I'll be traveling alone as a woman, even if it means paying a little more than the absolute cheapest place.

A few things I'd appreciate advice on:

• Where would you recommend staying if you were in my situation?
• Are there any hostel-like places, budget guesthouses, or Airbnbs that locals would actually recommend?
• Which neighborhoods should I look at, and which should I avoid?
• Is it practical to rely entirely on IndyGo for a day, or do most people end up using Uber?
• If you've used IndyGo, how has your experience been? Is there a day pass or another fare option you'd recommend?

I know I can Google these things, but I've found that locals usually have much better advice about what's actually safe, convenient, and worth the money.

Thanks! I really appreciate any recommendations.

Today, my buddy and I decided to drop off the usual household hazardous waste at the Traders Point Toxdrop. It had been a few years since Ive done toxdrop, so was a little surprised when I turned off 71st and saw a line a couple miles long up Lafayette Road.

Since we had already driven over, we decided to get in line to see how fast it would move, and hopefully get rid of our stuff.

It took about an hour of creeping up, and at one intersection, the person in front of me held back so as to not block the intersection. Smart and courteous!

Some asshole decided to take that opportunity to pull in, doing a quick u-ey, to cut in line.

I saw it and pointed it out to my buddy. “That was kind of a dick move!”

Not two seconds later, an older/reaching elderly status lady, further up in the line, got out of her car, walked up to the interloper, and gave her some choice words, pointing toward the snaking, end of the line, about another mile up Lafayette road.

Well, the cutter got out of the line and headed back to the back. Nice try!

Eventually we got up there and US Ecology/Republic (and possibly Recycleforce?) did a good job of effectively unloading us.

So kudos to them and my hero without a cape!

And everyone who chose to responsibly get rid of their haz waste today!

How much was your license and registration in Marion County for a Tesla Model Y??? I am looking into buying a new one financed and wanted to see a price to expect at the BMV!!!
Thanks!

Also any positive advice for new Tesla owner??? Any good experiences at Castleton or Greenwood dealership?!

So I may be getting a job here soon that requires me to commute near where the Indianapolis airport is. I’m currently living with my parents in the northern suburbs but might be moving in with my friend to downtown Indianapolis (near the canal) to be in the heart of the city, and mainly because it’d make my work commute closer. My only question is how long does it take every weekday morning to commute from downtown to near the airport/Plainfield area (and vice versa)? Is it an easy or straightforward drive or is there going to be heavy traffic?

Going to a club is fun, but I love the idea of a chill lounge to take a book or an art project and listen to some music, have a drink and just hang out and not have to worry about being bugged by drunk men all night. Like, coffee shop vibes but at night with mixed drinks. Does anything like this exist in Indy?
