Turn Left is back!!

Mark as Played

One more week, and either we protect democracy and move Indiana forward to a place where how you exist in the world is protected. Or, we turn the clock back and let those that don't like you control the most private aspects of your life. It is up to us.And we only need to flip four IN House seats to end the super majority, and this week, we will have two more that are looking to move Indiana forward.

We are seeing how problematic a Braun/Beckwith administration will be. AG Rokita is awful and the supermajority continues to write policies that can be harmful to Hoosiers. OH, and there are three members of the IN Supreme Court on your ballots. We have the chance between now and Nov 5th to change the direction of our state. We can't sit this one out. Too many of our state house races are uncontested, which is a tragedy. One quest...

I'm not gonna lie, with the way Republicans are so ready to toss our democracy aside for an autocrat, you know your lives are not what they are worried about. They claim to be the party of freedom, but they attack freedom for women to control their bodies; they attack freedom for our trans youth and our freedom to read what we want.The only way to prevent the bad legislation that is surely going to be introduced in the next sessio...

Less than 30 days!! This is where we are, and unfortunately, not enough people care about their own interests to vote for the people who will protect body autonomy, protect public education, and protect collective bargaining. Not only that, we need to protect democracy from those that want to turn back the clock to when only land-owning white men had a say in our democracy. We won't go back!!

We can protect our statehouse if we wo...

We have the opportunity to flip seats and send more candidates to the state house who will protect body autonomy, public education, and the freedom of and from religion....

We have less than 60 days left, and you know the stakes for this year's election. Democrats around the country are excited about the Harris/Walz campaign. I join in that excitement.

I understand how easy it is to focus on the presidential race; however, we need that same energy to make sure Indiana does not take a turn back to the 1950's. The Braun/Beckwith, with a supermajority if we don't flip some seats in the state ...
