Each ticket holder will only be admitted once and may bring two items for appraisal. If you pledge for tickets, you will still have to wait in all lines. These tickets do NOT allow the holder to bypass the public line.

Religion has often been central to revolutionary movements throughout history by serving as the impetus for rebellion, mobilizing and organizing volunteers, and shaping the moral foundations of the revolutionaries themselves. To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this program invites members of the Central Indiana community to ponder how lived religion and voluntary action shaped the American Revolution and how these themes reverberate throughout history, even to the current moment.

Through a collaborative event from the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture, Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, Spirit & Place, all a part of Indiana University Indianapolis, as well as WFYI, attendees will hear from some of the foremost scholars on religion’s role in the Revolutionary War as they explore key areas of religion and volunteering, framed through the Faith and Freedom in America screening reel from The American Revolution documentary by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein, and David Schmidt.

Refreshments will be available at 6:00 pm, and the program will start at 6:30 pm.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with Laura Jordan of Jordan Therapy Services, Carla Whited of Indy Women's Counseling and DBT, as well as two mental health experts from the American Heart Association Indiana Chapter.

About the film: 

Menopause is a silent epidemic that affects the health and well‑being of millions of American women. In addition to experiencing traumatic physical symptoms, women are struggling with the related stresses of billions of dollars in lost wages, upended careers, family disruptions, and emotional chaos.

This film confronts this neglected crisis, challenges societal and medical shortcomings and advocates for a revolutionary approach to women's health all over the world.

Brought to you by filmmakers Coby Atlas, Tamsen Fadal, Denise Pines, Joanne LaMarca Mathisen.

Where you live in Central Indiana — and what you earn — can shape whether quality childcare is within reach. In this Data & Drafts event, The Polis Center, in partnership with WFYI, will explore how availability and cost impact access to organized, quality care, such as childcare centers and early learning programs, and what the data reveals about this critical issue.

This event is presented in partnership with the Indianapolis Public Library, WFYI Public Media, and SAVI. Beer is generously provided by Bier Brewery.
