Help Stop Indiana from Passing Discriminatory Bills

Help Stop Indiana from Passing Discriminatory Bills

The Issue

 Indiana is trying to pass Senate Bill 0590 and House of Represenatives Bill 1402.   In 0590 it is proposed that English should only be used besides in certain cases.  This is similar to an official language and is discriminatory, inhibiting culture for many, including those that are not immigrants and those that are documented alike.  This would also incriminate those associated with undocumented immigrants, forcing people to turn on one another.  These are only two of the problems in the bill.

In Bill 1402 it is proposed that undocumented immigrants not be allowed to participate in higher education.  

Please help us stop these bills from passing.  Read ahead on the proposed bills with this link and Sign this petition if you are in accordance that these bills should not pass.  Feel free to make any changes to it-and/or call the IN legislators.

Thankyou.
