01
Know Who is Who
Recognizing Indiana Senators and Representatives will help put a face to names on bills, but it can also better prepare you for conversations and providing testimony during session. At the coalition, we focus on bills that concern education, equity, and justice.
02
Speak the Lingo
Once you know who you're speaking to, it's time to learn how to talk with them to get your message heard. Being able to talk the talk concisely will allow legislators to maintain their schedule and you to be recognized as a voice of reason at the Statehouse.
03
Understand How it Works
In an era filled with executive orders, it's important to understand how a bill truly becomes a law. Understanding the nuances of processes during General Assembly will help you be better prepared to address issues as they arise.
04
Have a Game Plan
Now that you know who and how, it's time to strategize how you share the why. Going into a meeting with your legislator or the author of a bill you oppose requires strategy so that your recommendations have the best chance of getting incorporated into policy.
