Maybe its my DNA or the ancestors talking to me but I just don't understand how a grown adult can let another grown adult tell them if they can serve their community. We not the same, I guess.

Be patient. What you really want, build it, others will see your greatness.

Anyone can run for office if they meet the requirements outlined in our state constitution.

AG, SoS, Auditor, and Treasurer will not be on your primary ballots. They are voted on at the party convention.

So there is no guarantee little Diego will even be on the ballot.

Learn the process.

At some point those of you with REAL political power will need to stop the madness. Oh wait...WE THE PEOPLE are the largest words on the constitution. We are the power.

Thank you, Samantha Douglas and Karla Lopez Owens, for demonstrating how bringing your gifts to the movement can have positive impacts on our democratic community. They saw a need and addressed it. You don't need permission to serve your community.
Awesome training with materials

Every now and then I become the interviewee. I had a great time chatting with @Cameron Ridle of Fox59 Tonight. We discussed my podcast, Turn Left, and the need to encourage folks to be civically engaged. Check out the full interview here. 👉zurl.co/bhYNw

The @indgop goal is to disenfranchise the Black vote. IDAAC Indy will work to engage our community about how our voice is our vote and our vote does matter. If it didn't, they wouldn't work so hard to keep us from it.

Please Join the movement today 👉 zurl.co/6gADL

I guess if this nation is debating the institution of slavery and who enforced and benefited from it, then it would be less revolting to many Americans when they try to implement it again.
Same playbook over and over again.

We heard many Black folk in our city say that after the 2024 election, our Democratic Party did not speak to them.

We heard you.
We will be better.
Join us and help us be better.

The Indiana Democratic African American Caucus.

On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act becoming law, America’s unions remain united in the fight to make the freedom to vote fully restored and protected for ALL.

Congress MUST pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Are you a young Democrat or progressive between the ages of 18-25 who has a desire to host a political podcast that speaks to young adults about the times we are in? Email me at [email protected], and let's talk about it.

Y'all know this ain't right but some of y'all would rather go after those that call out the wrong versus going after those that are committing the wrong.
Ok I'll be next. Come for me.

You may call me antisemitic because I believe the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza. But what should I call you if you are not bothered when women and children are starving to death because the Israeli government is blocking food and other aid to Gaza?
