🎙️ Today’s Conversation
We live at a time when the federal government is so afraid of your voice, they’ll take it from you. Literally. Figuratively. In every way, they are trying to force us into a fear-based existence. This past weekend, though, I saw people, not just across the country, but across this freaking state, show up in response to the murder of Renee Nicole Good. And that gives me hope.
I also break down two Indiana bills moving through the Statehouse that could have major consequences for public education and immigration enforcement.
🪴 Mentioned in This Episode
* The killing of René Nicole Goode and the protests that followed across Indiana
* Nationwide demonstrations and solidarity actions, including large-scale protests in Minneapolis
* Indiana House Bill HB 1423 and its potential impact on Indianapolis Public Schools governance
* Indiana Senate Bill SB 76 and expanded local enforcement of federal immigration laws
📌 Looking Ahead
I’ll be spending more time this week tracking the Indiana General Assembly, following committee hearings, and breaking down what these bills could mean for everyday Hoosiers. As always, I’ll keep connecting the dots between policy, people, and the power of showing up.
