Ohio Statehouse

Democratic Ohio-12 candidate Alaina Shearer, will lead our weekly Heroes Act protest caravan with her US BUS!
As teachers and shelter volunteers, we are seeing how COVID-19 is undermining the well-being of our community, especially members who were already in vulnerable positions before the onset of this pandemic. We were shocked when Congress did not pass the second relief bill in early August. Instead of extending the $600 weekly federal unemployment payments and eviction moratorium, Congress left for vacation. The Senate must return and compromise in order to pass a COVID relief package. People's lives are hanging in the balance. The economy stands on the edge of an even deeper collapse if a relief package is not passed. Our country needs a comprehensive plan to address our needs during the pandemic and beyond. This week we will be joined by local unions members as well as some citizens helping keep our neighbors safe in shelters.

For the second week we will caravan around the Ohio Statehouse on Thursday and continue each week until a relief package is passed! The caravan will start at both locations: East High School parking lot, 1500 E. Broad St., Columbus, OH 43205 or Whetstone Community Center parking lot, 3909 North High St., Columbus, OH 43214. Cars will gather at these locations 4-4:30 pm. We will proceed to the Statehouse and drive around it for 30 minutes. Participants can create signs for your car or come without and we can provide. The time has come to unite and stand up to say with one voice: pass the #Heroesact! #Savethe600!
