When black Hoosiers are dying at high rates all across the state from COVID-19, it's especially offensive when elected leaders like Jim Lucas post demeaning and racists posts on Facebook. This is shameful behavior that must be denounced.
“With goals to root out systemic racism in our state, hearing a United States President endorse the idea of bringing total equity to our nation is the kind of call to action that many Hoosiers and Americans needed to hear. " https://t.co/BZB4EWZSrJ

At the State House's first ever LGBTQ+ Day, I addressed the crowd and announced that every single Hoosier should have the peace of mind knowing their representatives are standing by their sides. We are fighting to protect all Hoosiers from discrimination. #YourVoice #OurMission https://t.co/ldqgyX8pcV
This week, the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus called for implicit bias training for all legislators and highlighted bills that unfairly target Black Hoosiers in the Statehouse. It was an honor to meet with my fellow legislators and prominent community activists. https://t.co/dra0z0Qg2E
