TikTok. It still sounds a little silly. I started posting more TikToks and a community of like-minded people, mostly from Indiana joined me. I always knew that the mark of success, the mark of progress wasn’t going to be solely measured by votes. Not surprisingly, especially here in Indiana, the votes took us even further down the path of Christian nationalism, white supremacy, and failed conservative policies.
But…
Here we are in the early days of 2025 and the people I am meeting, the conversations I’m having gives me hope for 2026.
The coalition building always happens before an election is won.
What we have on our side, besides the rage, is the data.
Conservative policies are hurting people. Education, healthcare, wages are all suffering while corporations receive remarkable tax incentives. Indiana made the switch from caring about people to caring about corporate profit nearly two decades ago and Hoosiers are paying the price.
Let’s take that rage and that data and start having real conversations with our neighbors that matter. Not about Trump, not about any of the divisive “hot” topics, but about real issues facing our families and our communities.
Are you with me?
