As we remember the insurrection on the Capitol a year ago today, we need to understand this, we cannot take our democracy for granted. When 64% of Americans believe U.S. democracy is "in crisis and at risk of failing," that is a wake up call that something must be done!

There is much that needs to be done in our own state to save our democracy. In this week alone, the Indiana GOP has shown Hoosiers they will put their conspiracy theories and culture wars ahead of a better future for their families.

Mike Schmuhl, Chairman of the Indiana Democratic Party, this week said “Indiana Republicans have one objective for the session this year: endorse misinformation and conspiracy theories just to try to win elections. The worst part: the INGOP will ignore the truth and wishes of hard-working Hoosiers to get it done, including key stakeholders like the Indiana Chamber of Commerce and the Indiana State Police,”

We know the road ahead looks daunting, but this is where we come in. There's a lot of work that needs to be done. The Indiana Young Democrats are prepared to fight for a future that includes all Hoosiers and stand in solidarity with every community in our Hoosier state. As Young Democrats, we understand that we must advocate for our generation’s priorities in climate, education, reproductive health, and racial and economic justice.

Democrats are providing solutions to today’s most-pressing problems facing our families. We are delivering livable wage jobs for workers, advocating for future economic opportunities like cannabis legalization, and calling for a statewide effort to get more COVID-19 vaccines in arms. 

In Indiana, Democrats are creating a better future for Hoosiers while Republicans choose irrational and divisive culture wars.

We are calling you to join us in this fight for a better Indiana. Hoosiers deserve policies that will uplift our communities and leaders who will champion those ideas. Change will only happen when we make it happen. It's time to fight for our Democracy!

It's our Time, our State!
