When you take the time to become knowledgeable about and active in the political process, you are serving your community—and your country.
In order to keep our nation’s democracy thriving, every one of us needs to stay informed about the issues of the day and the long-term impact of political decisions. We need to make our voices heard when we aren’t pleased with what we see happening in the political arena. We must participate in elections at every level—local, state, and federal.
IU Indianapolis offers a variety of ways you can get engaged. Make your thoughts known at Democracy Plaza. Get involved with the Social Justice Scholars. Join a student organization. Or incorporate civic learning in your curriculum.
IU Indianapolis is home to a number of units dedicated to civic learning and political activism and education.
