Indiana Senate Bill 12 has been stripped down to bare bones. The categories of Sexual orientation and gender identity have been taken out of the bill by Senate Republicans. The bill will have a third look tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 21.
Senate Democrat J.D. Ford wants to be contacted at S29@iga.in.gov with your thoughts on this stripped down bill.
Senate Democrats walked off the floor in solidarity to show the absurdity of it all. A bias-crimes bill would still leave Indiana without a hate-crimes bill.
Please consider emailing J.D. Ford and express your opinion. And do it today. Thank you. ... See MoreSee Less

This manufactured need to declare a national emergency furthers a dangerous narrative that immigrants, undocumented people and those who are migrating are dangerous. Villainizing entire groups of people to justify detaining, hurting, or isolating them is not new. History shows us that without righteous indignation and faithful disruption, families will continue to be separated and lives will continue to be lost.Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fort Wayne, IN shared RevMisty-Dawn Shelly's post.

A statement from participants of the UU College of Social Justice Borderlinks (Tucson, AZ), February 2019 cohort of religious professionals:Grounded in our historic Unitarian Universalist faith, we declare that all souls and all lives are sacred and worthy, that there is an underlying unity and sacred interdependence and that our faith calls us to spread love and create justice.
We who benefit from the privilege of the freedom to travel, gathered from around these United States, to learn from and accompany those who live in the borderlands…
We’ve walked in the desert, witnessed Operation Streamline, and received many stories.
We are left with feelings of sadness, anger, grief, but also connectivity, generativity, joy, and beauty
The emergency that Trump declared is a false emergency and has malicious intent.
As in every decision backed by this administration and within the immigration system as well,
You must follow the money.
Who profits from a wall?
Who profits from detention and deportation of immigrants?
Who benefits from a population of workers increasingly vulnerable and exploitable?
Again and again the answer is corporations, private prisons, military contractors, big agriculture
The real emergency is the criminalization and dehumanization of migrants and migration.
People are dying in the desert
People are shackled in chains, criminalized for seeking safety, livelihood, a more viable future
Children are afraid to go to school and parents are afraid to go to work for fear they not might return home to one another
Immigrants are part of our community; they’re our neighbors, friends and family members
In this climate of racism and increased militarization,
Fear, death, detention and deportation are being justified as deterrence. This is decimating our communities across the country.
There is another story, a grass roots revolution of organizing, love and resilience.
Mariposas Sin Fronteras, No Mas Muertes, Coalition to End Operation Streamline, Borderlinks, Samaritans, and Flowers & Bullets are some of the groups we’ve been privileged to learn from. We owe our lives to migrants and revelation is in their struggle. This compels us to do our own spiritual work, act to redistribute resources, and amplify and center the voices of migrants and people affected by migration.
The border is everywhere. As we prepare to journey back to our respective homes, we are compelled to preach it, teach it, work with immigrants, and build bridges of solidarity and accountability, wherever we are called to serve.
