In recognition of Bullying Prevention Month, a powerful and unprecedented event is taking place in Elkhart, Indiana — one that could reshape how our state protects its children. For the first time, child safety–focused organizations from across Indiana are coming together to launch the Indiana Child Safety Campaign, a bold, parent- and community-led movement calling for child safety to become the top legislative and budgetary priority across every branch of state government.

In our latest episode of The Michiana Hivecast, we sit down with Rachel Van Alstine, a lead organizer of the Parent Coalition for Child Safety & Wellness, to talk about the inspiration behind this campaign, the urgent gaps in Indiana’s child safety systems, and how every Hoosier can play a role in creating lasting change.
