Stick figures labeled “Repro employer” says to a celebrating worker “Congrats youre hired!!! We need you to help make abortion possible!” But then A VERY SHORT TIME LATER the employer is showing the worker the door and saying “GOODBYE get out immediately. You are a bloat on our budget. SHUT up & sign this NDA right now if you want any kind of severance. Oh you wanted some kind of notice before losing your job? how ungrateful you are. How greedy. And How Dare You suggest execs take pay cuts instead???? You expect us to live off a WORKERS salary?? Horrible idea see this is precisely why we dont want you here”

Micah and his merry band of delusionists

Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith doesn’t seem to realize that Hoosier voters elected him to do a specific job with specific, limited responsibilities.

⚖️ Any redistricting bill would start in the House. If Huston commits to calling no vote, then there’s no point for the Governor to even call a special session.

That’s why we need him to say it clearly:
🚫 No vote on redistricting.

Stop the costly, corrupt mid-cycle “redistricting” scheme.

📌 Why Huston?
Speaker Todd Huston doesn’t control whether a special session happens — but he does control what gets a vote in the House.

📣 Indiana lawmakers are trying to change the rules mid-game—cheating.
Mid-cycle redistricting would waste $30,000/day just to let politicians pick their voters.

That’s why we need Speaker Huston to commit: NO redistricting special session.

By redrawing voting maps 6 years early to favor his party, the Trump regime is launching the deliberate unwinding of democracy that we’ve feared.

MADVoters has created an online tool at MADVoters.org that will guide you through emailing or calling the key officials with the power to stop this now.

Vice President JD Vance is coming to Indy this Thursday to discuss a gerrymandering scheme with Gov. Mike Braun to steal democracy from We the People.
Redistricting isn't due for another 5 years, but the MAGA movement is hell bent on silencing our voices. We won’t let them.

Redistricting isn’t due until 2030.
But MAGA Republicans are pushing for a special session to redraw the maps early — behind closed doors — to silence voters and lock in permanent power.

Indiana already has a 🔴 supermajority. They want more.
They want to rig the rules before we even play. #INLegis

🚨 Indiana already has some of the most gerrymandered maps in the country.
Now JD Vance is flying into Indy on Thursday, 8/7, to meet with Gov. Mike Braun about redrawing them AGAIN — five years early.

This is a full-blown power grab. #INLegis
