Project Description:
This project seeks to establish an Advocacy & Policy Hub in Indianapolis to center "least-heard" neighbors in policy-making conversations. The Hub will blend faith-based pastoral care with grassroots advocacy, empowering those directly impacted by systemic issues to tell their stories and craft their own solutions. Through coaching, civic education, and strategic collaboration with officials, the project aims to develop compassionate policy alternatives and foster deeper civic participation.
