Ohio Statehouse
Facebook Event
On October 30th at 3PM, protest with us at the Statehouse to stand in solidarity with the Haitian people and demand that the US does not intervene! No to US intervention, Yes to the Haitian people’s sovereignty!
The Haitian people are intensifying their struggle against looming imperialist intervention with sustained militant demonstrations in defense of their country’s independence. Many thousands protested October 21 in the country’s capital Port-au-Prince, attempting to march on the U.S. embassy. They faced fierce repression from police loyal to the illegitimate government of de-facto Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
The demonstration took place on the anniversary of the death of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, a hero of the Haitian Revolution who remains an icon of the country’s ongoing fight to defend its sovereignty. The Haitian Revolution shook the world at the onset of the 19th century – the first successful slave rebellion to establish a republic terrified the rich and powerful. Haiti has been under constant attack ever since.

Faith leaders from across Ohio will gather at and march to Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office at 22 N. 4th St. to hold a prayer vigil for democracy.
The midterm election is just around the corner. As you read this, more than 900,000 Ohioans have requested absentee ballots or voted early with millions more preparing to in the days ahead. When they do, faith leaders must do everything in our power to ensure votes are cast safely and that the results determined by the people get certified. That means showing up.
There will be a Thanksgiving dinner served to the homeless teens connected to The Star House. We are looking to distribute new socks, underwear, toiletries and small $5-$10 fast food gift cards.
You may also donate monetarily to go towards the dinner and some items mentioned above. All sizes -young teens up to age 24, male and female needed. If you’re familiar with my annual Teen backpacks for Christmas program, you can drop off to my front door as you may have done before.
You can text me as well and I can pick up from you. Remember those less fortunate than ourselves and let’s see what we can do for these young people who may have no other place to go for Thanksgiving. They NEED community support.
