Supermajorities are BAD for Indiana 🎯

No discussion? 🙄

[Jennifer McCormick @mccormickforgov]

This legislative session was a tough one on common good, common sense and decency.
Our kids deserve better.
We all deserve better.

👎Eliminating a 13th check for retirees

A busy day at the Indiana Statehouse, including a massive @ISTAmembers rally. Thousands of educators here — in a sea of red shirts — calling for increased K-12 funding, and for lawmakers to cease “hateful attacks” on public education and the teaching profession.

[Indiana AFL-CIO @INAFLCIO]

At the Statehouse today to support our teachers across the state of Indiana!

Same Senator trying to ban books? 🙄 *But honoring the NRA days after a shooting in KY. Oh, Indiana. Oh, boy.

Most Hoosiers are voicing exhaustion, disgust, and frustration regarding the direction our state leaders are taking us.

It’s time for change.
Love to have you join us. It’s time for a common sense, inclusive, Hoosiers-first approach.

Indiana State Teachers Association…Rally at Statehouse. They are here to voice their position on several bills. Says the legislature has demoralized the profession with some of its proposals, regarding funding and teachers being able to discuss issues with administrators.

Statehouse filling up today ...

Medicare budget in 2021 for 65 million people: $900 billion

What private healthcare spends on admin *alone*: $570 billion

How are we going to pay for Medicare for All? Newsflash: we are already paying by NOT having Medicare for All.

This is a big deal! Our legislators are not finding public education appropriately AND they have some pretty crazy bills that they are looking to pass beyond finances. Stand up and stand out!

[Randi Weingarten 🇺🇸 🖇️👩‍🎓📚 @rweingarten]

Education is for all. That's why we have a public education system. We cannot let a minority of vocal people undermine public education for students. #WhatKidsNeed

Why should I pay taxes to subsidize a religious school that would not admit my grandchildren? That’s like asking me to subsidize the private country club that discriminates. No, thank you.

In its current proposed form: Indiana legislators are trying to increase vouchers at 740% of federal poverty levels!
Far far cry from saving the state's most vulnerable kids. The average Hoosier makes roughly $55K/year. This increases voucher eligibility to $220,000/family +4

[AFT INDIANA @AFTIndiana]

Voucher bills FAILING in Southern states and more! Will Indiana legislators listen? Finally????
