Engaging THOUSANDS of Rural Voters
E Pluribus Unum… Out of Many, One
Think of a summer band tour, except this concert is for empowering Hoosiers to stand together over the community issues impacting us most: access to healthcare, access to housing, access to education, access to jobs.
Most of our districts are rural or artificially rural, meaning communities of interest (like major towns, universities, large employers, or business and community centers) have been intentionally removed from our districts, keeping rural voters isolated and their voices largely unheard. Rarely are small-town and rural voters asked about their vision for Indiana or given opportunity to speak with their electeds. It’s difficult to develop a forward-thinking vision without someone willing to facilitate those conversations. Some of the best collaborative conversations are not just local or even district by district but actually more regional because we are impacted by regional decisions. Rural voters are often desperately misunderstood and left out of those conversations. They need a seat at the table.
We used our gerrymandered districts to connect with one another, where we shared county overlap and base. Together we are turning gerrymandering into a regional coalition to bring all our people together to solve big problems!
