Hoosiers across the state will hold service projects aimed to help our communities
Community service effort is part of the “America United” effort by the Biden-Harris Inauguration to restore the soul of America and bring the country together
INDIANAPOLIS – Next week, Indiana Democrats will join the national movement to help restore the soul of this nation by holding community service events across Indiana ahead of next week’s inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Service projects next week will reflect the “America United” initiative by the Biden-Harris Inauguration and will help create a path to a brighter future for all Hoosiers and fulfill a commitment by Hoosier Democrats to unify and heal the state during what has been some uncertain times for all families.
NOTE: Safety is the top priority for all events next week. Community service events will reflect the commitment by the Indiana Democratic Party and the Biden-Harris Inauguration to protect the health and safety of Americans while ensuring an inclusive event that brings all Americans together.
