Creating a safer community for everyone

  • After Eric Logan, a black man, was killed by the police in South Bend in 2019, we organized alongside partners and worked with the Mayor of South Bend to adopt a police discipline matrix and a new use-of-force policy. We train people of faith to lead together with moral clarity.

We’ve won real victories that have changed lives.

Winning mental healthcare funding

  • When the county jail was full of people struggling with mental illnesses and substance abuse, we organized to win a mental health crisis response center, securing $2.7 million from the City of South Bend and $600K from St. Joe County for a mental health crisis center which opened March 2024.

  • We led the “Call for Care” campaign in 2023. We organized uncommon partners to execute an inside-outside strategy with an alliance of faith groups, the Indiana Sheriff’s Association, mental health providers, and other power-building organizations like Hoosier Action who amplified the same message: “fully fund SB 1.” In May 2023, our leaders helped pass transformative mental health care reform and move $100 million to build out a crisis care system across the state.

Ensuring access to housing for all

  • When people experiencing homelessness needed urgent shelter, we organized with partners to secure $1.5 million from the City of South Bend to invest in a low-barrier shelter.

  • We believe that when we organize, we can create a world that is more just, safer, and more caring for everyone, no matter the color of your skin, how you pray, or how much money is in your wallet.
