Wednesday, September 22, 9am-4pm, Ohio Statehouse
Whether we’re Black or white, Latino or Asian, Indigenous or newcomer, we want our families to be healthy and whole. But today, as Ohioans march together in anger and mourning over the brutal shootings of Black Americans by police, a handful of politicians are trying to turn us against one another.
They hope that by spreading lies about our collective demands for justice and silencing us by criminalizing peaceful public witness, we will turn against these efforts to ensure a better future for us all. We reject their attempts to divide us, and we will raise our voices together for Andre Hill, George Floyd, and Casey Goodson Jr., until justice is truly for all.
Join us as we meet at the Ohio Statehouse on September 22 to stomp out anti-protest bills as we educate legislators on why these bills are bad for Ohioans. (H.B. 22, H.B. 109 & S.B. 41).
We will rally from 1-2pm on the Statehouse steps. Legislator Visits will be 9am-4pm. Find out more and register now [to be a part of the legislator visits] at bit.ly/statehousestomp.
Connect with others who want to stop these bills and pack the schedules of Ohio legislators. For legislator visits, we’ll meet across the street from the Statehouse at the Galbreath Pavilion in the Ohio Theatre [39 E. State St.] (elevator accessible) at 9am. A light breakfast and a boxed lunch will be provided.
