The goal of the Black Caucus is to amplify Black democratic voices in Indiana, expand on our political power, and advocate for issues that are vital to us, our family, friends, and neighbors. From city halls, county commissioners, councilors, trustees, mayors, and state legislators — black people are essential to the growth and progress of the Indiana Democratic Party and within the Indiana General Assembly. By joining the IYD Black Caucus, you will play a pivotal in shaping a brighter future for Black Dem in Indiana.
We have seen the seismic, revolutionary change that comes from the activism of Black women. Our Black History Month t-shirt, made by Black-owned #317GetAGrip in Indianapolis, will honor and touch on the powerful women in our state — past, and present.
