Income equality
Income equality
The working class makes the economy run. Businesses and their owners don't do us any favors by stealing most of the value we create. We need to take it back.
Working class Hoosiers deserve a voice
So many Hoosiers don't have a voice in the Statehouse, and it's not their fault. The Democratic Party has abandoned rural Indiana allowing Republicans to have free reign. It's time for a grassroots effort by working class Hoosiers who are tired of the two-party system and are ready to start building something else.

From policing thought, peaceful protests, and minority existence, to criminalizing drug use, existing in public spaces, and failing the Game of Capitalism, government needs to stop causing needless harm.
Every human deserves to have a place to call home, to keep their belongings safe, and to rest and recover. We choose to make housing unaffordable and unavailable. We can make a different choice.
Health care is a human right
Every human deserves health care. Many countries already have this. It's embarrassing that we don't. Let's fix it.
End the Genocide of Palestine
We enable this. Indiana's Treasurer, Daniel Elliott, has invested $120M of our money in Israel bonds. Senator Todd Young chose not to send aid into Gaza, condemning thousands to death by starvation.
IT MUST STOP.
LGBTQ+ rights
Indiana's Christian Nationalists have been on a crusade against LGBTQ+ people, particularly our gender-diverse neighbors, family, and friends. This helps no one and only harms. Protect, not oppress.
Working class issues are hardly heard in the Indiana State House because only bills that Republicans are in favor of ever get a shot. We need more diversity in the legislature to fight for working class Hoosiers.
They are growing faster than planetary limits, creating physical harm to local residents due to noise, pollution, hoarding water and power, increasing electricity rates, all while shifting more wealth to the billionaire class. We don't need more AI slop, we need healthcare, education, thriving wages, public transportation...
Teachers should make double what they do. Start at $48k and average $60k? That's insulting. Private and charter schools must stop stealing funds from public school since wealthy families don't need the help. The supermajority touting a budget surplus is even more insulting. Give that to teachers!
Police should be more accountable to their actions than the general public due to the power they have, not less. They shouldn't be able to get away with murder.
Indiana's prisons are hellish nightmares. Many of those incarcerated should be set free and real systems of reform such as restorative justice need to be developed and implemented. 20% of Indiana's 27,000 prison population are in for drug charges - shameful!
We must build out renewables and retire fossil coal and gas plants as quickly as possible to avoid the most harmful impacts of climate change. Benton County is a model to follow!
Abolish ICE. Do not cooperate with these federal thugs with state resources. Prosecute all of them that break state law. Protect, value, and celebrate immigrants. Welcome refugees.
