Indiana
Aid
Indiana AID (Assistance to Immigrants in Detention) provides direct support, connection, and resources to immigrants detained by ICE and their families across Indiana. Through both in-person and virtual visitation, volunteers build consistent relationships with people in detention, offer a listening ear, share information and resources, and help connect individuals and families with legal and community service providers. Indiana AID also provides commissary assistance to help detained individuals access food, medicine, and other necessities, along with books, messaging support, spiritual care, family assistance, and community education. Their work ensures that people experiencing immigration detention are not isolated or forgotten, while creating meaningful connections between detained immigrants and communities on the outside.
Sikh Coalition
The Sikh Coalition works to protect and advance the civil and human rights of Sikh Americans through legal advocacy, education, policy work, community empowerment, and civic engagement. They provide legal assistance for cases involving discrimination, hate crimes, workplace and school bullying, religious freedom, and profiling, while also working with schools, employers, government agencies, and communities to promote greater understanding of Sikhi. Through educational resources, Sikh awareness trainings, advocacy campaigns, grassroots leadership programs, and policy initiatives, the Sikh Coalition helps Sikh communities understand and defend their rights while building a more inclusive society for everyone.
