Our Legislative Advocacy

Our advocacy work is just one of the ways we advance civil liberties in our state. We spend a significant amount of time engaging in the legislative process, monitoring key issues, and talking with Indiana legislators. We aim to support bills that strengthen our Constitutional rights and defeat bills that threaten them, but we cannot do this work without you. Use the tools and resources below to engage in the ACLU of Indiana's legislative advocacy efforts.

Mid-Cycle Gerrymandering (HB 1032)

House Bill 1032 redraws all nine congressional districts to be used starting with the 2026 elections. It stretches districts to give one party an unfair advantage and breaks up many communities in the process, including Indianapolis, which would be split into four districts. It suspends the usual requirement that precincts can’t cross congressional lines during that election cycle and directs the state’s election division to help county voter registration officers implement changes.

End of Life Options (HB 1011)

This bill would give mentally capable, terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less the option to obtain and take medication that would allow them to peacefully end their lives. It contains numerous safeguards against possible abuse, including requirements for witnesses, self-administration of the medication, mental health evaluations, and criminal penalties for coercion. We support this bill because it upholds the fundamental right of individuals to make deeply personal decisions about both life and death. Decisions about end-of-life care are immensely personal. Every terminally ill individual should have the liberty to choose how they spend their final days and face death. This autonomy includes access to the full spectrum of end-of-life care options, including hospice, palliative care, and the right to seek physician-assisted aid in dying.

Allowing Additional Execution Methods (SB 11, HB 1119)

Senate Bill 11 and HB 1119 represent a disturbing and barbaric escalation of state power. Instead of shifting away from capital punishment, both bills would allow the state to execute people by firing squad under certain conditions. HB 1119 would also allow the use of nitrogen hypoxia – which causes suffocation. The United Nations says the method “will likely violate the prohibition on torture.” Both bills would allow these violent execution methods to be implemented behind a veil of secrecy that would make it practically impossible to investigate mistakes, unsafe practices, or constitutional violations. We oppose these bills because they are inhumane and push Indiana further down the path of expanding the death penalty — a cruel, irreversible practice that should be abolished.
