@LillyPad and
@Cummins both spoke out saying they hesitate expanding in Indiana after the restriction on reproductive rights last year. More businesses, including ours, are doing the same after these current anti-LGBTQ laws.
Many of my fellow Hoosier business owners and the
@IndyChamber have spoken out about how your policies make it harder to attract and retain top talent. And who can blame them? None of our CURRENT employees enjoy or feel safe living/working here.
Why would someone come work in Indiana when they would have more basic human rights in states right next door?
We certainly can’t compete with other states in infrastructure, natural beauty, taxes, food/culture, weather…. Hoosier business’s are all that you have to reverse the brain-drain that is already happening in this state.
The human toll obviously won’t sway you. We’ve watched your votes not be swayed by testimony of the people you harm. So we’ll have to make it hurt in the only place that you listen to, your pockets.
Conferences WILL stop coming to
@VisitIndy. Businesses WILL leave
@AStateThatWorks. Concerts and events WILL skip us (even more).
It’s amazing that we weave around the same potholes and pass the same abandoned buildings, but ya’ll somehow look around and think this state is headed in the right direction.
Help us make
@VisitIndiana a place people want to visit, work, and live in. Not the theocratic
@HandmaidsOnHulu theme park the rest of the country already thinks we are.
