Our Fully Funded, Fully Public campaign recently published their recommendations to the ILEA board on IPS governance: the Choice and Voice Plan

I was first to speak at ILEA, after sitting in on their meeting, discussing either overburdening IPS or taking away their decision making altogether. I had no idea they made it a law that charter schools were considered public school. I was shaking by the time I got up there.

so proud of these public school defenders-esp will for going first 😅

Yahoo, yippee!

Dealers and Dual Rates at Horshoe Casino in Shelbyville are striking for their union. Despite the NLRB being closed closed, they decided not to wait for the government’s permission to unionize and are forcing it themselves in an historic strike for union recognition!

“Fuck the pizza party, we want respect, dignity, and stability” -Zach, striking dealer, Teamsters 135

Central IN DSA out at the picket line yesterday with comrade Sara Nelson, AFA-CFA international president!

Today, thousands turned out to stand up for freedom, justice, and their communities. But now that the dust is settled, you’re probably wondering… what’s next?

The Starbucks on Capitol Ave filed for unionization! They’re asking the community to show up and sip-in from 8-10 AM tomorrow!

The unelected ILEA could to force the destruction of the democratically-elected IPS School Board and replace it with an appointed body, potentially privatizing all schools in the system. Sign our petition to tell the ILEA to keep our public schools public!

Statement on the Attorney General Todd Rokita’s Repressive Attacks on Educator Free Speech Central Indiana DSA’s Fully Funded, Fully Public Committee unequivocally stands with educators in the face of state repression of their free speech.

In recent public posts to his Facebook page, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has encouraged the targeting of educators by his constituents for their political expressions outside of the classroom. Using flimsy, minimal evidence such as screenshots of politically-tinged Facebook conversations that represent fair democratic discourse on a current issue well within the first amendment rights of those under scrutiny, Rokita is using his malicious Eyes on Education portal in an attempt to chill speech, put educators' employment at risk, and potentially risk their physical safety.

Indiana’s Eyes on Education portal is a tool of political repression, not accountability. By encouraging anonymous reports on teachers—even for lawful activities outside the classroom—Attorney General Todd Rokita seeks to pit neighbor against neighbor for holding views he disagrees with.

As citizens and workers, teachers have the right to speak, organize, and live freely without fear of state surveillance. This portal and Rokita’s irresponsible public use of its data chills speech rights and weaponizes government power to silence dissent while ignoring the collective needs of our communities: well-funded schools, fair wages, and honest education. Central Indiana DSA stands in solidarity with teachers against this attack on their dignity, their speech, and our children’s future.

People throw the word "fascist" around frequently, but what actually is fascism? Is Donald Trump actually a fascist? Why have the Dems been incapable (unwilling?) to stop them? What can we do to help put a stop to it?
