I enjoyed a lunch time visit at FLUID Coffee Roasters - Valpo South with Mrvan for Congress campaign manager Shannon Sankey. We spent some time discussing the unfortunate drop of Indiana's ranking to 49th place in American states for voter turnout in 2022. On a positive note, I shared with Shannon the high school voter registration drive is getting organized by my fellow League of Women Voters of Porter County members and I will be visiting several Porter County high schools to assist with the voter registration efforts. I also shared that I recently learned AARP Indiana subsidized four Indiana municipalities who waived transit fares on election day 2023. No loss of revenue to the municipality. Encouraging people to get out and vote! I have asked the Valpo transit director to look into whether AARP is continuing the program in 2024 and whether our municipality would qualify for the program.

This Thursday night, from 5-6 pm, we will gather outside the School Administration Building at 3801 N. Campbell St. before the 6:00 school board meeting for a peaceful rally. We encourage people to bring their personal signs to show displays of affirmation and safety that we want to see in our schools!
Local groups will be speaking during the public comments section. We also want to show support and solidarity with any current students, recent graduates, or faculty of VHS who choose to come and speak at the meeting regarding the removal of messages that display affirmation and inclusion, which send the wrong message to our youth. We understand there can be concerns around safety with making a public statement, so if you would like to have a statement read anonymously on your behalf, please message on social media or email LGBTQ Outreach of Porter County at [email protected] by Wednesday at 8pm and indicate “from a VHS student or staff.”

I attended the Lowell Veteran’s Day program this morning! Congressman Mrvan addressed all who gathered to pay respects to those who served our country and sacrificed for the common good. Such a lovely morning!
