A key aspect of IndyLink's mission is "to promote civic involvement and democratic dialogue." An actively-engaged citizenry is part of the larger vision IndyLink supports, in which a community can act together to overcome the effect popular culture has in slowing progress toward a more just society.

As IndyLink founder and executive director Wally Bowen once wrote, "One step toward this larger vision is the awareness that our popular culture is political, and that its meanings must be critically and relentlessly challenged."

Now is the time for such criticisms and challenges. IndyLink presents this set of resources you can use to Be Heard, Be Informed and finally - Be a Voter!
