Hoosiers have ALWAYS stepped up to confront the toughest challenges facing our
nation, and leading the way towards greater opportunity for all Hoosier

John,

 

It’s Black History Month, and that means we’re celebrating the
accomplishments, achievements, and triumphs of the Black Hoosiers who have left
an indelible impact on our state. 

 

But for Hoosiers across Indiana, it’s also a time to reflect on the events of
the last year and remind ourselves that there’s still opportunities for us to
keep working together to form that more perfect union.

 

Hoosiers have ALWAYS stepped up to confront the toughest challenges facing our
nation, and leading the way towards greater opportunity for all Hoosiers is no
different. 

 

As we continue our celebration of Black History Month, Governor Holcomb is
reaffirming his commitment to building One Indiana for All.

Governor Holcomb outlined a set of bold actions that his administration would
take to level the playing field for Hoosiers in his speech last August. Here’s
what those steps included:

 

1. The Creation of a Chief Equity, Inclusion and Opportunity Officer

 

Indiana’s first Chief Equity, Inclusion and Opportunity Officer Karrah A.
Herring is working overtime to deliver results for marginalized communities in
Indiana. 

 

Working with Governor Holcomb’s administration, she is already building
bridges for marginalized Hoosiers to have better access and participate in all
the functions of our state government.

 

2. Aggressively closing gaps in the classroom and in the workplace

 

We’re dedicated to closing racial achievement gaps and that starts with
recruiting strong minority teacher talent to our classrooms and investing in
those teachers and school districts who will work to skill-up our workforce of
tomorrow.

 

Governor Holcomb’s “Next Level Jobs Program” is currently recruiting thousands
of minority candidates to give them a jump-start on their careers while helping
to fill good-paying, skilled job openings across the state.

3. Reforming Hoosier Police Training and Practices

 

Governor Holcomb knows that we must do a better job at protecting and serving
ALL Hoosiers. This spring, every front-line Indiana state trooper will be
outfitted with a body camera. 

WATCH AND SHARE: Equality, Equity, and Opportunity for ALL Hoosiers

John, it’s going to take all of us working together to achieve the goals
outlined by the governor and to truly create One Indiana for All.

 

They won’t be achieved overnight, but with your help, we can continue to make
Indiana a more equal and equitable place for all Hoosiers to live, learn, and
work, one day at a time.

Thank you,

 

- Holcomb Crew
