Jesse Brown for Indianapolis
@jesseforindy.bsky.social
Indianapolis City County Councilor, District 13. Join DSA. A better world is possible!
Corrupt Mayor Joe Hogsett is trying to take millions of dollars from taxpayers and put it into schools that have no accountability to the public. Public education in Indianapolis could die if we don't act now! Check out my latest constituent newsletter and video, Public Education Under Fire:
Mass and College. Where Brandon Breedlove was struck and killed. Where neighbors and business owners have constantly demanded action for safer streets. Where we held a protest to draw attention to safety last year. How many people need to suffer serious injuries or die for Joe Hogsett to act?!

Ethics in Government: remember when that was a thing? My latest constituent newsletter and video just dropped. What do YOU think elected officials owe their constituents in terms of behavior and transparency?

Corruption on the one side, potholes on the other. Should I vote to override our Mayor's veto or not? My latest constituent email, "Wheel Tax and Corruption", just dropped. Watch the video, read the newsletter, and let me know what you think! youtu.be/iO3YyLTWxzo

This week, the decline of minimum parking mandates continued.🙂 First up: an #Indianapolis city-county councilor introduced a proposal to remove minimum parking mandates everywhere in Marion County (which includes Indianapolis).🧵
Councilor Wants to Eliminate Parking Mandates Throughout Marion County
Indianapolis City-County Councilor Jesse Brown says he's looking to remove parking requirements throughout Marion County.

Quoting @jesseforindy.bsky.social ""We took a bunch of your money and didn't even spend it. Meanwhile, enjoy the bankrupt local governments, the underfunded public safety, the worst childcare system in the nation, and the increasing hunger and homelessness ... " #Indiana, #VoteBlue
Indiana is sitting on a huge pile of cash after President Donald Trump's tariff and trade policies did not impact state revenue as much as originally feared.
Might You Already be a Democratic Socialist? Our podcast conversation w/ @jesseforindy.bsky.social about the link between religious principles and socialism, "sewer socialism," + the link b/w Trump voter frustration and the success of U.S. socialist candidates. open.substack.com/pub/endpover...

A Conversation with Socialist City Councilor Jesse Brown

If the Council's appointees to the MDC won't stop approving data centers, they must be removed from their positions. Tonight I sent this email to all my colleagues and copied the media:
IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED! The MDC can start the Indianapolis data center moratorium TOMORROW, and they must do so! All elected officials should join me in publicly demanding this action. Readers: you can help, too. Call (317) 327-5155 or email PlannerOnCall@indy.gov and insist: moratorium NOW!
Jealous of NYC, New Jersey, Colorado, Washington, DC, and all the other places that have elected socialists to office in the last year? Don't worry, Indiana - two homegrown fighters for the working class are on the ballot in this state. My latest newsletter just dropped:
What's going on at the City County Council meeting tomorrow? Listen to me sing about it and read my latest constituent email, below! www.jesseforindy.com/emailarchive...
I’m Just A Bill… — Jesse for Indy
Rocking like we're at the schoolhouse. I talk about the format of Council meetings and what's coming up in Indianapolis this month!

this is like begging your city councilors to stop legislating based on horoscopes but you know it's going to give many/all of them heartburn lol. props to @jesseforindy.bsky.social for proposing it.
See you on Monday 👀
I'm fighting alongside the working class, for the benefit of District 13. That's my job, and it's my joy. I welcome any socialists to join me. My latest constituent email just dropped. Newsletter in the comments. And come FIGHT DATA CENTERS at noon at the CCB! www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6So...

As someone with a front row seat to data center development, it does feel like one day the job site will just be empty and we’ll just have these massive swaths of cleared land for zero reason. It does feel Ponzi-ish, like how long can we get away with this bullshit?
Data centers and AGI are probably just a Ponzi scheme. But if they're not, that's even worse news. Data Center Deep Dive Part Three: Dystopia Deep Dive just dropped. Watch the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b7t... then read the newsletter: www.jesseforindy.com/emailarchive...

Bullies and bigots never just pick on one minority group and leave everyone else alone. When political leaders cower and flinch, they fail all of us, not just the most at-risk. My latest constituent newsletter and video, Pride Was A Riot, just dropped. www.jesseforindy.com/emailarchive...
Got the formal tour of the Cincinnati Streetcar today with former mayor Mark Mallory and a small delegation from Indianapolis that included Councilors @nickroberts317.bsky.social and @jesseforindy.bsky.social!
When I say "Solidarity forever", that means solidarity with the working class - not with those who lick the boots of billionaires. I'm not voting for Beau Bayh, and the Democratic Party is heading towards defeat as long as they cater to donors. Read my latest, and tell me what you think!
Someone without a permit tears up city property, why is it almost impossible to even make the city respond much less hold someone accountable? These contractors and out of state property owners just run roughshod over everybody
Jesse when republicans are robbing us, why does @indydpw.bsky.social get to rob us, too? Developers illegally tore up this section of the basically brand new Pogues Run Trail, and have left it this way for at least 8 months. There are NO consequences!
Statehouse Republicans have starved Indianapolis of tax dollars for decades, and our roads are falling apart worse every year. Why don't we just tax the rich to pay for better roads? I explain why in this week's video and newsletter: www.jesseforindy.com/emailarchive...

Thanks to the Indy Star for publishing my op-ed this morning. "It ain't me, it ain't me ... I ain't no Senator's son!"
Data center developers and their politician sugar daddies are lying about so much! Their names, their plans, their environmental impacts, and even their business model! My second Data Center Deep Dive just dropped. Watch the video then read the newsletter! www.jesseforindy.com/emailarchive...
Sometimes I will grouse about the limitations of the omnicausal analysis (‘everything is about race’, ‘everything is about gender’, ‘everything is about sexuality’, etc.), and someone will respond that Marxism is the same way because it says ‘everything is about class’. Here’s what I say to that.
As a City Councilor, I get a lot of emails, DMs, and voicemails. Today's newsletter highlights the voice of a constituent who truly speaks for all of us when it comes to the frustrations of road construction around District 13 right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OINu...
