Protestors call for day of action in response to “One big beautiful bill”

MISHAWAKA, Ind. -- Around 40 people gathered Tuesday outside of Congressman Rudy Yakym’s Mishawaka office to protest the so-called “One big beautiful bill”.

That bill passed through the senate thanks to a tie-breaking vote by Vice President JD Vance Tuesday afternoon.

Protestors are concerned about public healthcare systems like Medicaid and Medicare, which could lose funding as a result of the federal bill.

They also expressed concerns over Indiana Senate Bill 2, which took effect Tuesday, alongside a number of other new laws.

ABC57 reached out to Congressman Yakym’s office for comment but did not receive a response.
