Petition to Repeal Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act

Dear Colleague:

On 26 March 2015, the Governor of Indiana signed into law the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, one of several so-called religious liberty bills recently vetted by states.

ACPA—College Student Educators International views these bills, in all of their forms and in all of the states and countries that produce them, as overt acts of discrimination against LGBT people. We believe these bills are destructive to the well being of our colleagues living and working in Indiana, as well as other communities throughout the United States and around the world. We protest passage of the law in Indiana and deeply object to its blatant disregard for human dignity. We join with hundreds of corporations and organizations in this protest.

We have been in direct contact with the Governor Mike Pence’s office (317-232-4567), the Speaker of the House Brian Bosma (317-232-9677) and Senate President David Long (317-232-9416) stating our deep concern and request for repeal of this egregious law. We encourage each of you to call their offices as well.

We also invite you to sign this petition which we will deliver to the Governor.

Our goal is for long-term, sustainable, positive and inclusive change in accordance with our core values.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Gavin Henning, President
Donna Lee, Vice-President
Kent Porterfield, Past-President
Cindi Love, Executive Director
John Garland, Director of Equity & Inclusion
