My remarks zeroed in on the tippy top of city government. Let’s be honest: when it comes to transit and street safety, our Mayor has zero vision. We saw it in the 2016 transit referendum and we’re still seeing it now. Indianapolis deserves better.

🦺 Big feels from yesterday’s protest. When neighbors show up for each other, it’s a reminder that community care beats the status quo every time. Traffic deaths are a policy choice. A better Indianapolis is possible. 📸: shout out to @clifmars.com for capturing the 1st pic

This isn’t a typical protest. My buddy Jake has lined up a DJ, a bike repair station, and infrastructure vision boarding.

Indy adopted #CompleteStreets + #VisionZero. Not buzzwords—commitments.
Protected bike lanes work. They’re ADA compliant. Cities prove it daily.
Since MK lanes were scrapped last fall, I’ve been waiting for this. Time to act like a city that keeps its word.

🧈 Don’t get me wrong, the art was dope. But the Butter-wrapped @indygobus.bsky.social, the barricades, and a whole lane of 10th Street transformed into a pop-up park? That was the icing on the cake for me 💚

From the disgrace at Indy’s City-County Council on Monday to Trump’s ICE raids in LA, it’s clear: our civic institutions aren’t just cracking—they’re rotting from the inside.
But here’s the thing. Ten decent, pissed-off people will always outnumber one coward in office. And we’re paying attention.
