Newsletter: Get Ready To Vote

March 22, 2024

Where we were this week:

You might be asking yourselves: Why should Hoosier women worry about what happens to superstar women in Hollywood? Because if it’s happening to them, amid their privilege, it can happen everywhere and to anyone. And it is. 

Last night, Women4Change was at the Kan-Kan Cinema for a screening and discussion of This Changes Everything, a film about gender disparity in Hollywood. Following the screening, Women4Change CEO, Angie Carr Klitzsch, joined a panel for a discussion of the film. The panel included local filmmaker Hannah Lindgren, PhD film student Coye Lloyd, and local film programmer Diana Gingerich.

Women4Change was also at the INspire Her Summit yesterday, an event put on by Girls Scouts of Central Indiana, Girl Coalition of Indiana, and Pass the Torch for Women. We left with a renewed sense of purpose and passion to continue making change for Hoosier women.

On Thursday evening, Women4Change CEO, Angie Carr Klitzsch, joined our friends at the Junior League of Indianapolis to discuss all things civic responsibility and participation.

College Students: Your Vote Counts!

Voting as a college student can seem tricky, but we’re here to help. Whether you want to vote in your college town or your hometown, you have options. Use the checklist below to make sure your vote, and your voice, is heard this election season. 

Did you know?

Did you know all of these election positions will be on your ballot this year?

Let's talk about the elected role: "Precinct Committeemen"

We'd like to draw your attention to the elected position: "Precinct Committeemen."

The role of a Precinct Committee Person-PCP (how most other states define the role) is a lesser known but vitally important role and could play one of the most important parts in improving Indiana's flailing voter turnout rates, if Indiana gets it right. The role of a PCP is to represent their party, and communicate with their constituents on where to vote, how, and provide a wide variety of voting resources and connect their precincts to voter registration forms and absentee, provisional, and early voting, etc. 

As it stands in Indiana, even if a woman runs for this elected position, and wins, her official elected position is "Precinct Committeeman." We think that's a problem for Indiana. Women4Change encourages the State of Indiana to adopt factual terms on our official forms.
