About
The Stonewall Democrats of South Central Indiana (SD-SCI) is a grassroots political organization working to improve the lives of LGBTQI+ people at the local and state levels. We are aligned with the Democratic Party, but are formally independent of it. This arrangement means we can both have a seat at the table and hold candidates feet to the fire as Jeanne Smith, our President, likes to say.
We are active in: Bartholomew, Owen, Greene, Morgan, Monroe, Lawrence, and Brown Counties. We welcome everyone who agrees with our basic goals to get involved and make positive change happen locally!
As stipulated in our bylaws, the purpose of this organization is, at the local and state levels, to:
recruit and support LGBTQI+ persons in order to increase the number of LGBTQI+ persons in elected and appointed positions;
increase the participation of LGBTQI+ persons in the political process;
increase the participation of LGBTQI+ persons in the political process;
The organization shall conduct activities necessary or desirable to achieve these objectives.

Committees
SD-SCI is lead collaboratively by a Steering Committee (elected) and Standing Committees (chairs appointed). We want our leadership to broadly reflect the diversity of our constituents, going so far as to enshrine this principle in our bylaws. But we cannot do so without active engagement in SD-SCI by many people with diverse backgrounds.
