We’re at the Statehouse right now to rally against redistricting! Hoosiers want lawmakers to focus on making groceries, utilities, and childcare more affordable - not rubber stamping Trump’s unconstitutional power grab.
☎️ Call your State Rep at 317-232-9600 and tell them “No Redistricting!”

BREAKING - IN House Republicans released this potential Congressional voting map, just 4 hrs before they begin session, that splits Marion County into FOUR districts. This new map is a blatant attempt to disenfranchise voters by diluting their votes, silencing the 40% of Democratic Hoosier voters.

📷 Help us shut down early redistricting for good! After immense political pressure from President Trump and our own Governor Mike Braun, over a dozen “swatting” incidents and threats of political violence, Indiana lawmakers are moving forward with meeting Dec. 1st to consider redistricting.

The House announced just days before a major holiday that they will vote next week on a bill that hasn’t been filed — to redraw maps that haven’t been released. This is bad governance in the extreme. Hoosiers deserve fair maps. And they deserve transparency.

Just like the Boston patriots demanded so many years ago, Hoosiers deserve fair representation since they are paying taxes.
But the proposed early redistricting scheme seeks to redraw Congressional voting maps, and could eliminate that representation for 40% of Hoosiers.

Postponed? Love to see the cracks in their plans. We've got to keep up the pressure.
Important updates for Monday’s rally - postponed, but lots of ways to take action!

The Republican Senate Majority Leader chose to send the Senate HOME rather than hold a vote to fund SNAP.
He will force a vote 13 times on a bill he knows won't pass rather than vote ONE time on a bill to fund SNAP we KNOW would pass.
Shameful.

Governor Braun plans to vote on his brazen redistricting plan to unfairly represent Hoosiers on Nov 3rd. All 10 Democratic state senators are opposed. Republicans are mixed, and we have one more week to let them know where we stand. Call at (800) 382-9467
As pressure mounts, here's where every Indiana senator stands on Trump's redistricting push
An intense pressure campaign is waging against the Indiana Senate, which may not have the votes for redistricting. Here's our tally.

Time for us to make a last minute push calling legislators, my fellow Hoosiers.
Heads up: Indiana's Republican governor just called a special session to consider a new congressional map.
Trump and JD Vance have been pressuring Republicans in the state for months to further gerrymander their map.

Unbelievable. They don't even pretend to do their jobs.
House just made next week a recess. So unless the Senate passes the House CR (or the House changes its mind and comes back), the shutdown could stretch to October 14 at this rate

This morning at 11am, corner of Hathorn and Broadway in Somerville MA. 3 ICE vehicles idling on nearby corners. I was following two ICE cars that were cruising around the neighborhood.
This person was just walking down the sidewalk when two ICE vehicles stopped and officers jumped out to stop him.

Q: How does Trump saying "I hate my opponent and I don't want the best for them" square with bringing down the temperature of political violence?
LEAVITT: Look, the president is authentically himself. I think that's why millions of Americans across the country love him.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.
