What does it mean to use your voice, create change, and shape the future?

Join us Monday, June 9, at The Indianapolis Propylaeum for Prop Up Your Voice, a free community conversation inspired by SUFFS, the Broadway musical that tells the story of the women who fought for the right to vote.

Together, we'll explore how the themes of the show connect to the world we live in today through guided roundtable discussions on civic engagement, advocacy, representation, progress, and the work still ahead.

We're grateful to our incredible facilitators, who will help spark thoughtful conversation and connection throughout the evening.
