Neighbor To Neighbor:
Rebuilding Local Democracy Summer 2026 

Things are getting more chaotic - we can all feel it! At the same time we are more disconnected from each other than we ever have been.

The strength of our community is our people and the relationships we have together as neighbors.

To make it through hard times, we need people across New Albany joining together and pitching in for our town.

We are launching a summer of volunteerism, trainings, and events to build community from the ground up in Floyd County.‍ ‍Join Hoosier Action, local churches, and community groups for a summer of rebuilding our democracy.
