PELATH: SIGNING OF “RELIGIOUS FREEDOM†BILL A GIANT STEP BACK FOR INDIANA’S FUTURE
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana House Democratic Leader Scott Pelath from Michigan City today issued the following statement after Gov. Mike Pence signed SB 101, the “religious freedom†bill, into law:
“Today marks a giant step backward for Indiana.
“We are allowing people to discriminate against others under the phony cover of religious belief.
“This is progress? To conjure up images of people being denied service at lunch counters?
“Of course, none of this will register with the misguided souls who crafted this outrage. The dismay of interests as diverse as Cummins Engine, the Disciples of Christ Church, and the organizers of the Gen Con convention mean nothing to them.
“They will remain blissful in their ignorance. They have created a problem where none existed, except in their old-fashioned thinking.
“Today’s news will delight one group of people above all. This will be a gravy train for Indiana’s lawyers, as they line up to defend this law. We will keep our expensive court system busy.
“But will this help put more Hoosiers to work with good-paying jobs? Does it show kindness and compassion for others? Does it demonstrate to the world that Indiana is a place where people should want to live and work?
“No.
“All this will bring our state is embarrassment and even shame. I hope it was worth it.â€

That’s right – and if you’re not mad now, just read further.Governor Mike Pence just signed into law a license to discriminate in Indiana.Our state is now on a dangerous, regressive course – and the governor and Statehouse Republicans have made national headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Conventions and sports groups are now hesitant to bring their business to our state, and for a group of elected officials who like to say they’re for growing our economy – they went right ahead and ignored the calls of some of our state’s largest employers. What’s more, they’ve done it in the name of discrimination. It is now legal for business to refuse service to certain individuals in the place known for “Hoosier Hospitalityâ€. Make no mistake, SB 101 sends Indiana galloping backward when we should be moving forward and finding ways to raise wages and income, sending more children to Pre-K and staying away from issues that divide us. The governor’s actions are embarrassing, disgraceful and heartbreaking for Indiana. Help us fight the divisive, outdated social agenda championed by Governor Pence and the GOP! Send a message to Governor Pence, Brian Bosma and all the Republicans in the Statehouse who don’t stand for anything but division and discrimination, and only stand with special interests. Indiana Democrats stand for equality. We deserve better, and Indiana’s welcome mat should be out for everyone. The best way to fight back is to make sure we have strong candidates and a strong message that shows Democrats are going to move Indiana forward. Please do what you can to help today, and thank you for your dedication to the state we love.

“Walk a Mile in Her Shoes,
The International Men’s March to Stop Rape,Â
Sexual Assault & Gender Violenceâ€
April 7, 2015 at the University of Southern Indiana
Inspired by the old saying, “You can’t understand a person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes,†men will literally walk one mile in women’s high heeled shoes on April 7, 2015 on the University of Southern Indiana campus to protest rape, sexual assault & gender violence. Men, women and children are invited to participate in the Walk planned by Albion Fellows Bacon Center and USI’s Sexual Assault and Gender Violence Prevention Group. Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding, Vanderburgh County Prosecutor Nick Hermann, Evansville Police Department Chief Billy Bolin, and other men are going to walk in high-heeled shoes to raise awareness about rape.
Registration for the Walk will begin at 5:00 p.m. at Mitchell Auditorium in the Health Professions building on USI’s campus. This year’s walk will feature a local male volunteer who will discuss why he has taken the steps he does to help make a difference. After the walk, Wedding, Hermann, and Bolin will pledge with students and community members to make a difference. Men, women, and children are invited to participate.
The Walk is organized by Albion Fellows Bacon Center and the University of Southern Indiana Sexual Assault/Gender Violence prevention group and sponsored by a number of USI campus organizations, including Fraternity and Sorority Life of USI, USI Student Government Association SOS Grants, and Student Housing Association of USI. Community sponsors include Holly’s House, Fraternal Order of Police #73, Lampion Center, YWCA, Boyd Electric and SouthWest Graphix among others.
A woman is raped every 90 seconds in America. Albion Fellows Bacon Center provided sexual assault services to 552 primary and secondary victims in 2014. Albion is a non-profit agency serving victims of domestic and sexual violence.  We provide emergency shelter, a 24-hour crisis line, short-term individual crisis counseling, support groups, and legal and medical advocacy to victims, their friends and family. All of the services are free of charge. For more information about this event or how to get involved, please contact Christina Wicks at Albion Fellows Bacon Center, 812-422-9372 or by email at christina.wicks@albionfellowsbacon.org. More information about the national Walk a Mile in Her Shoes: The International Men’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence can be found on the internet at www.walkamileinhershoes.org.
