Summit on 16th United Methodist Church, 82 E 16th Ave.
You don't set 10,000 people free without training a few volunteers. If you're ready to stop ~talking~ about making change and start taking ACTION, this is for you. 

The Ohio Student Association and partners are launching a ballot initiative that would change felony drug possession charges to misdemeanors and make it possible for thousands to apply for release from prison, get their records expunged, and return to their jobs and families. The savings from not locking up people who are addicted to drugs will be invested in drug rehab programs that are actually proven to work. 

We want a criminal justice system that is aligned with our values and ACTUALLY rehabilitates people into society, but we're not going to get that without a fight. 

We need 600,000 signatures across the state to get the Safe and Healthy Communities Initiative on the ballot in November 2018, and we can't do it without you. 

Maybe you signed our petition, maybe you came to our events, maybe you're hearing about OSA's Get Free campaign for the first time -- we need you in the fight. 

Come and learn more about how we can take action against mass incarceration and the opioid epidemic with the Get Free campaign and the ballot initiative!
