Because Trump is using millions of hungry Americans as leverage in his shutdown, SNAP benefits will be late and significantly reduced this month β€” leaving millions of families at risk. We’re stepping up to support our fellow Americans by donating food, supplies, and funds to local food banks. πŸ‘‡

We’re not mad at families on SNAP. Everyone deserves food and dignity.

We’re mad at the CEOs getting rich off our labor while paying us so little that we have to rely on SNAP to survive.

The problem isn’t programs β€” it’s poverty wages.

What they've done to LA and are doing to DC they want to do to a city near you. We know this becasue they are saying it; and we know this because they just greenlighted $171 billion more for their secret police.

Hoosiers, make it a priority today to make 3 phone calls - to Gov. Braun, your State Representative, and your State Senator - and ask them to SAY NO to rigging the election by gerrymandering our voting maps.

Our democracy is depending on it.

If MAGA’s corrupt & costly gerrymandering scheme moves forward, Hoosier taxpayers will be paying $30,000 A DAY in special session costs!
Call Gov. Braun at 317-232-4567 and tell him -
❌ NO to early redistricting!
❌ NO to a special session!
❌ NO to even more extreme gerrymandering!

Bad Religion was in Indy last night (with Dropkick Murphys), and they sang this:

You are the government.
You are jurisprudence.
You are the volition.
You are jurisdiction.
And I make a difference too.

Vice President JD Vance is coming to Indy this Thursday to discuss a gerrymandering scheme with Gov. Mike Braun to steal democracy from We the People.
Redistricting isn't due for another 5 years, but the MAGA movement is hell bent on silencing our voices. We won’t let them.
