About Us

We’re a group of nonpartisan Hamilton County, IN residents who formed in July 2025. Our goal is use education, the arts, and stories to inspire local citizens to become active in our democracy: to expect and demand that it be stronger and more inclusive. We do this by publishing articles on our Substack and hosting events that bring our community together for dialog, connection, and learning.

Our mission is help HamCo residents connect, learn, and act together with others in our community.

Local grassroots involvement leads to stronger communities, which leads to a stronger, more democratic America.
