#Democracy

Monday, 12/1/25, I went to the Indiana Statehouse to stand in solidarity with fellow Hoosiers denouncing calls from the Republican Supermajority to Redistrict mid-decade. While House Democrats requested their Republican colleagues observe precedent and protocol, their requests fell on deaf ears. Today, in what for many became a snow day hindering travel, several Hoosiers still showed up for the 2nd reading in Committee to present testimony.

A river begins with a single drop of melted snow on a mountain, just a silver thread trickling downhill. That one drop is joined by others, each one adding weight and motion, carving a deeper path as they go. Bit by bit, their gentle flow becomes a stream, then a river, shaped by every rock they move and every turn they take. No single drop makes the river alone—it forms through a chain of small causes building on one another. The river, like all great things, is the result of many moments adding up over time.
