According to The Fulcrum - Leveraging Our Differences, a platform where insiders and outsiders to politics are informed, meet, talk, and act to repair our democracy and make it live and work in our everyday lives, In Indiana, Three Organizations Push Back Against Barriers to Democracy. The three are the League of Women Voters of Indiana, Common Cause Indiana, and the Indiana Bar Association.

The Fulcrum has done videos covering all fifty states, inviting them to talk about their actions to preserve Democracy. You can watch the Indiana episode HERE.
