Indian Americans are increasingly becoming a significant political force in the United States. With over 4.8 million Indian Americans living in the country, and over 2 million of them being citizens, politicians are now recognizing the importance of engaging with this community to secure their votes.
In the upcoming November election, there is a real possibility of having the first Indian American president in American history. This highlights the growing influence and potential of Indian American voters in shaping the future of the country.
However, with this increased attention comes the responsibility of Indian Americans to actively participate in the political process. This can be through running for office, studying political science, or most importantly, staying informed about the policies and positions of the candidates.
Amidst the spread of misinformation on social media platforms like WhatsApp, Twitter, and TikTok, it has become challenging for voters to access accurate policy information. Recognizing this need, Rohan Soni founded Streamline 2024, a platform that simplifies complex policy information and makes it accessible to the average voter.
On Streamline 2024’s website, voters can find information about Project 2025, a comprehensive policy proposal that covers a wide range of issues such as abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, education, and immigration. The platform also offers historical comparisons from 2016 to 2024 on key issues like crime, immigration, and the economy, as well as policy comparisons between candidates like Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz against President Trump.
Moreover, Streamline 2024 provides state-specific information on voter registration deadlines and early voting dates, making it easier for voters to participate in the electoral process.
The Streamline team, spread across various college campuses, works tirelessly to create information, graphics, and videos that break down the complexities of the upcoming election. The goal is to empower Indian American voters with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions at the ballot box.
As Indian Americans play an increasingly important role in shaping the future of the country, it is crucial for them to be well-informed and actively engaged in the political process. Streamline 2024 aims to be a valuable resource for Indian American voters, ensuring that they have the information they need to make confident decisions on Election Day. By staying informed and participating in the democratic process, Indian Americans can truly make a difference in the future of the nation.
