@ashleiwithani: 8/19 News Update...YT ppl in Indiana wants you to know it's not about race because Gary isn't the only place without power. I've done my civic duty for the year...don't ask me for nothing else. #breakingnews #congress #unitedstates #fyp #indiana
Have you all seen Keith Lee's post about this?? I think he's headed their way.

Even if it ain’t racism it’s definitely classism by the numbers.

Goes without saying that NIPSCO (the monopolized electrical company) still hasn’t even included Gary in the list of cities in the storm restoration update.

Hi. Yt woman in NWI, here. Yes, we’ve all been without power since the 11th. Some of us lost it on the 13th, had it come back, and then lost it again. Why?! WE DONT KNOW! They won’t tell us. HOWEVER! GARY is massive and has been completely off since the 11th. Someone sh ot at a Nipsco car during restoration attempts so Nipsco paused until more cop reinforcements were present to proceed. Is that true? 🤷♀️No official statements from reliable news sources have been made! Gary is 85% black and has food deserts where people don’t have access to resources. Many yt communities have banded together to exchange generators and other things but no one is showing up for Gary. While none of us are getting news exposure, Gary is definitely being marginalized the most. We have yt privilege working in our favor. They don’t. It’s only best that Gary residents receive the publicity on socials by major influencers as systemic racism is currently working against them.

They’re more worried about us “starting a race war” than they are about not having power?

Hello checking in from Gary, IN. My power has been out since 8/11 and still is out (today is day 9). I appreciate any & everyone who’s now spreading the word. But for all of the ppl saying “well my power is out too” I’ll post some numbers below of the difference between their cities & Gary.

"It's not just Gary" no, but it's disproportionately impacting Gary!
