10 years ago today on a sunny Saturday hundreds of bikers from all across Ohio gathered in Columbus in a massive show of support for We Are Ohio and our fight against Senate Bill 5. We met on the west side where a local band played songs while the bikers got ready. Media was present and interviewing those who decided to join.
The bikers lined up and respectfully made their way up Broad St. into the center of downtown Columbus where they encircled the Statehouse with signs, t-shirts and the roar of their thunderous machines to stand up for the collective bargaining rights of everyday heroes. They even gave rides to We Are Ohio campaign workers, who hopped on the back of their bikes and joined the caravan.
It was a ride to KILL THE BILL!
Riders from all walks of life joined in. Public and private sector workers and employees, autoworkers, police officers, firefighters, teachers, nurses, pastors, small business owners, Republicans, Democrats and Independents, Moms, Dads, family members and your neighbors.
10 years later, we still remember the incredible accomplishment of so many Ohioans.
Hundreds of rallies, thousands of volunteers collecting signatures, thousands marching in the streets, and overĀ 1.3 million signatures collected.
