The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory from 7 p.m. tonight to 7 a.m. tomorrow morning. In times of extreme weather, our most vulnerable populations are impacted the most – particularly people experiencing homelessness. Up next, WFHB News Correspondent Zoe Moczek speaks with Forrest Gilmore, executive director of Beacon Inc., about how they’re preparing for the snowy weather.

In today’s feature report, WFHB News Correspondent Camdyn Glover interviewed Indiana Senator Shelli Yoder for her insight on the mid-cycle redistricting proposal.

Today, December 1st, Indiana lawmakers proposed a mid-cycle redistricting map. This proposal caused a spectrum of reactions from members of the state government as well as citizens. Although it is not unconstitutional, there are a tremendous number of people with varying levels of power who oppose this mid-cycle redistricting. Redistricting occurs every ten years to redraw congressional districts in order to represent the constituents of that district. Indiana has voted “No” towards this proposal, but state legislation continues to pursue this agenda. If this mid-cycle redistricting does occur, then some Democratic leaders will be voted out, as the assumed goal of the redrawing of districts is to ensure more congressional seats for the Republicans ahead of the mid-term elections. In today’s feature report, WFHB News Correspondent Camdyn Glover interviewed Indiana Senator Shelli Yoder for her insight on the mid-cycle redistricting proposal.


Royal Encounters is an Indiana University student organization bringing a little magic to kids who need it most. These IU students literally get into character, dressing up as a Disney princess or a popular superhero, to go visit sick kids in the hospital. Laynie Pitts knows exactly what it feels like to be one of those kids – as a child she had bad asthma and received regular treatment at Riley Children’s Hospital. Laynie is here to tell you more about Royal Encounters and how you can support their mission on a new episode of Activate!, coming your way right now on the WFHB Local News.
