Local labor unions, environmental groups, students, and social justice advocates will gather in honor of the birthday of civil rights leader Rosa Parks, as well as other civil rights icons, as part of national Transit Equity Day led by the Labor Network for Sustainability, now in its sixth year.
Leaders from labor and advocates from across the environmental and social justice movements will lay out a broad vision of accessible public transportation for Ohio including demands to electrify passenger and school buses, expand bus service and eliminate fares, build new local bus rapid transit, and protect worker rights.
Saturday, February 4, 7-9pm, Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 Oakland Park Ave.
Serious love songs, humorous trivia questions, and surprises will highlight the 14th annual Valentines concert by Bill Cohen and friends from 7pm to 9 pm on Saturday, February 4.
With guitar and piano, Bill will sing favorites from the 1940s through the 1980s that have been made famous by John Denver, the Everly Brothers, Sam Cooke, Bette Midler, James Taylor, Bing Crosby, the Shirelles, the Eagles, Johnny Mathis, and others.
Ann Fisher will be on hand to add some romantic flute accompaniment on several songs. David Maywhoor will keep the beat on percussion, and Brian Szuch will add extra sparkle on lead guitar. Plus, the all-girl trio, The Harmonettes, will sing smooth backup vocals.
While the songs will reflect the ecstasy, warmth, heartache, and pain that love can bring, there will be a lighter side too, as Bill will pose trivia questions about famous and infamous couples and love songs throughout the decades.
The concert will take place at the Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 Oakland Park Ave.

Budgets are Moral Documents
The Governor will introduce his budget proposal in a few weeks followed by five months of legislative committees, amendments, and votes. As people of faith, we have an opportunity to strengthen this public conversation about Ohio’s priorities and our future. Budget policy can change lives and strengthen Ohio.
Through our budget policies, we can help folks find economic stability, improve our schools, clean up our parks and rivers, and much more.
During our conversations on January 26, we will share the following.
• Our budget priorities for 2023
• Likely hot-button issues
• Historical context
• Why your voice is needed
We will hold the same conversation twice — once at 12noon and once at 7pm. Please join us for whichever time fits your schedule.
