Our History

In November 2016, a group of Indiana women felt that the divisiveness prevalent at the time of the election could tear apart our democracy. Those women, led by Rabbi Sandy Sasso and Jennifer Nelson-Williams, founded Women4Change Indiana with a vision to come together to harness the immense power of Hoosier women to lead change – change to a more civil, politically engaged community; change to a new norm in which women drive decisions on issues that affect their health and economic wellbeing; and change that creates a new paradigm in which all Hoosier women are equipped and empowered to work toward their dreams.
