The Indiana Black Legislative Caucus held a Unity Rally during Gov. Mike Braun’s State of the State address, choosing not to attend the speech. The rally focused on unity, education about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and efforts to overturn anti-DEI measures at the state level. Rep. Earl Harris Jr., the caucus chair, emphasized the importance of community engagement in making change. Carolina Castoreno of the Alliance for Latino Migrant Advocacy highlighted the need for inclusion and understanding among different communities. The decision not to attend the address was met with disappointment from Indiana Senate Pro Tem Rod Bray, who emphasized the importance of having the caucus at the table for discussions. The rally concluded with a call to action urging people to oppose anti-DEI bills and executive orders by contacting their representatives. Bray reiterated that there will always be a seat at the table for the caucus and expressed a desire for them to be involved in all conversations.
