@_bkind2all: Our Indiana Rural Summit team had the incredible opportunity to join Bernie Sanders and AOC for dinner as Senator Sanders was honored with the Eugene V. Debs Award. Before the ceremony, we toured Eugene V. Debs’ home in Terre Haute, Indiana and learned more about his revolutionary fight for workers’ rights in America. At a time when railroad workers were essentially owned by the companies they worked for, Debs stood up for their right to unionize and demand fair treatment. His movement helped pave the way for many of the labor protections we rely on today — including the 8-hour workday. A truly powerful legacy. ✊ We were surrounded by incredible leaders and organizers — union leaders like Sara Nelson, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, and Mark Dimondstein, President of the American Postal Workers Union, as well as historians like Dr. Lisa Phillips — all continuing the fight for justice and worker power in their own ways. The Indiana Rural Summit is elevating the kind of progressive candidates Hoosiers have been asking for — and moments like this are a powerful reminder of why this work matters. #HoosiersForHiggs #IndianaRuralSummit #Bernie #AOC #Indiana
