This year was about showing up for our neighbors, our values, and Butler County’s future. We organized, listened, and kept moving forward together.
We are pausing for the holidays and will be back in 2026 ready to build even more. Wishing you rest, warmth, and joy this season.

Families should not have to rely on charity to meet basic needs. A functioning government would make sure people have food, heat, and warm clothing.
Thanks to the BCDP community, nearly $3,000 was raised to support families this season. This is what caring for our neighbors looks like.

Every checkout line in Butler County tells the same story. Holiday gifts (and food) cost more while paychecks stay the same. Republicans have raised costs and left working families behind.

Families could pay tens of thousands more out of pocket. Children could lose protections. Junk plans could deny coverage for pre-existing conditions.
Your voice matters. Tell your senators to support the clean ACA subsidy extension and protect affordable, comprehensive care for everyone.

The Senate votes TODAY on proposals that could change health care for families across Butler County. One plan extends ACA subsidies. The other raises premiums and deductibles while adding new restrictions on abortion and gender affirming care.

Indiana Republicans are under significant pressure to do something they know is wrong: rig the maps and silence voters.
Washington Republicans are demanding a "9–0 map." That’s not democracy - that’s cheating. They know it, and they’re ashamed, which is why they’re hesitating.

In the #BatesvilleSchoolDistrict in Arkansas, installing #solar panels turned a previous budget shortfall into a roughly $1.8 million surplus, enabling teachers to receive raises of up to $15,000 each ☀️👩🏫📚.
How one school district used solar panels to give teachers a $15K pay raise
