Fear and anxiety about a disease can lead to stigma and discrimination. For example, people may associate a disease, such as COVID-19, with a population or nationality, even though not everyone in that population or from that region is specifically at risk for the disease. Unfortunately, ignorance and misinformation about COVID-19 has led to racist and xenophobic attacks against Asian Americans and anyone in the U.S. who looks Asian.
Discrimination should never be acceptable anywhere. We encourage our communities to learn about ways to respond:
CDC – Reducing COVID-19-Related Stigma
Teaching Tolerance – How to Respond to Coronavirus Racism
Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights – Assistance with legal and social services is available through the Stop Hate hotline (1-844-NO-HATE), which is accessible in a number of languages.

How to claim your economic impact payment (EIP) as a credit or refund on your 2020 federal tax return
In early 2020, individuals and their dependents who have Social Security Numbers and who meet income requirements were eligible to receive up to $1,200 for themselves and $500 for each qualifying child. In January 2021, these persons were eligible to receive an additional $600 payment for themselves and $600 for each qualifying child. If you did not receive all of the payments you think you were eligible to receive, you may claim them on a 2020 federal income tax return (Form 1040) as the Rebate Recovery Credit.

New funding is available for survivors of crime during COVID-19
The Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Inc. (ICADV) has secured funding to assist families experiencing interpersonal violence in securing safety, fostering stability, and gaining independence. Families experiencing domestic or sexual violence, stalking, human trafficking, child abuse, etc. will be prioritized for funding.
Interpersonal violence has increased significantly since the start of the Pandemic. This increase is directly attributed to isolation from support systems, economic stressors, increased alcohol consumption, access to firearms, and limited ability to services.
There’s help for survivors needing to escape, recover, and heal from violence.
Emergency funding is available to assist with emergency hotel accommodations, housing application fees, security deposits, first and last month’s rent, utilities, and transportation. Funding will be available until it is depleted.
To be eligible, survivors must be working with an ICADV member program or a program whose primary role is serving survivors of crime.

Monkeypox Resources
Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. Monkeypox virus is part of the same family of viruses as variola virus, the virus that causes smallpox. Monkeypox symptoms are similar to smallpox symptoms, but milder, and monkeypox is rarely fatal. Monkeypox is not related to chickenpox. There is still a lot to learn about monkeypox and information will be updated as it becomes available.
Visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website to learn more about monkeypox.
The CDC recommends vaccination for people who have been exposed to monkeypox and people who may be more likely to get monkeypox. Click here to locate monkeypox vaccine clinics.
The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) launched a data dashboard showing the prevalence of monkeypox cases in the state. To access this dashboard click here.

Reproductive Health Resources
As of August 1, 2023, abortion has been banned in Indiana with few exceptions. The law bans abortion except if the woman’s life or health is at serious risk, if there is a “lethal fetal anomaly” before 22 weeks of pregnancy, or until 12 weeks of pregnancy in cases of rape or incest.
Restrictions harm not only Hoosiers but also folks who travel to Indiana for services if their state has restricted abortion.
Indiana’s Abortion Law Effective August 1, 2023
Indiana’s law prohibiting abortion in most cases took effect on September 15, 2022, and was paused due to lawsuits before going into effect again on August 1, 2023. ICADV remains deeply troubled by the impacts this law will have on survivors of domestic violence, particularly on the disproportionate impact the law will have on survivors of color. We will continue to advocate for women’s rights to make decisions about their bodies and health. In the meantime, we want to provide clear information about the law and resources for abortion care. Information will continue to be updated as it becomes available.
We know that the restrictions, prohibitions, and timelines in the new law are confusing. Here is an overview of the legal changes enacted:
- Starting September 15, 2022, Indiana law bans all abortions with the following exceptions:
- In cases of rape or incest if performed before 12 weeks of pregnancy. “Rape and incest” is defined under IC 16-18-2-306.7 and is available here. It is also important to know that while the medical provider must certify the abortion met the exceptions stated, criminal prosecution and or law enforcement involvement is not mandatory.
- In cases when the abortion is necessary to prevent any serious health risk to the pregnant woman or to save the pregnant woman’s life.
- In cases where the fetus has been diagnosed with a “lethal anomaly” if performed before 22 weeks of pregnancy.
- Abortions can only be performed in hospitals or outpatient centers owned by hospitals; abortion clinics are no longer licensed.
- Doctors who perform abortions in violation of the above will lose their licensure and could face criminal penalties.
- “Plan B” or the “morning after pill” or any form of emergency contraception is not included in these restrictions as they are not considered “abortifacients”
For a deeper discussion of the law, we recommend this webinar conducted by the Indiana Coalition to End Sexual Assault and Human Trafficking.
