Faith in Indiana, founded in 2011, brings together clergy, faith leaders, and volunteers from Indiana’s 17 largest faith communities to resolve social justice issues facing immigrants and other marginalized communities. It is a member of the national Faith in Action network and represents a powerful example of faith communities working together to challenge anti-immigrant policies and narratives. Its members include Roman Catholics, Protestant Christians, Muslims, and Jews from about 160 congregations in six Indiana counties. Its members seek to develop the leadership capacity of individuals affected by racial and social injustice, to work with clergy to advance a narrative of belonging, to encourage marginalized people to vote, and to build pro-immigrant coalitions across Indiana’s diverse religious and cultural communities.
