For the first time ever, child safety–focused organizations from across Indiana are coming together for a powerful Indiana Child Safety Campaign event; an in-person, LIVE gathering aimed to bring Hoosiers into the heart of the conversation on protecting our children.Join us for an evening of community, truth-telling, and solutions as we take a deep look at the state of child safety in Indiana. Together, we’ll explore the gaps in our systems and lift up real, actionable ways to close them.
Our host, Eve LeVeque, Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator will guide us through the evening, as she brings a calming and grounding presence to the event. Our collective panel of changemakers will bring voices from across education, child services, the courts, medical and mental health fields, and beyond.
Featured guest speakers include Indiana State Representative, Dale DeVon and Indiana State Senator, Linda Rogers as well as:
• Aaron Ball, Rio’s Rainbow
• Carrie Shank, Elkhart County Coalition for Public Education
• Leslie Patterson, MAD Voters
• Michael Williams, Take Heart, Inc.
• Rachel Van Alstine, Parent Coalition for Child Safety & Wellness

(with more to come!)

Special Announcement: At this event, organizers are proud to launch the first-ever collaborative Indiana Child Safety Campaign — a bold, parent- and community-led movement uniting with Indiana businesses, organizations, and elected officials. Together, we are calling on Indiana to become the first state in the nation to make child safety the top legislative and budgetary priority across every branch of state government.

We warmly invite all Indiana elected officials to join us in this important conversation. Child safety must be recognized as a priority across every branch of state government, and your presence matters.
We also encourage all community members to attend as well as reach out to your local elected officials and personally invite them to attend in support of this historic movement for child safety in Indiana.
