A new book features frontline stories from a movement fighting corporate and state power in Ohio.
For over eight years, organizers with the Ohio Community Rights Network (OHCRN) have worked hard with CELDF to propose and pass county charters, city charter amendments and city ordinances recognizing protective local self-governance and the Rights of Nature. In Death by Democracy — we hear directly from them.
Ballot initiatives they advanced, like the Lake Erie Bill of Rights, made international headlines and expanded peoples’ political imaginations. But in the end, a power structure revealed itself that saw all branches of the government of Ohio and corporate interests go so far as to alter state law to repress the movements’ tactics and remove a total of 14 qualified initiatives from local ballots, despite all measures gathering sufficient signatures and satisfying all administrative requirements.
The Central Ohio Worker Center has put together an Employee Rights Handbook. The Handbook includes easily readable and understandable essential information regarding workers' rights that all workers should know. It provides basic information regarding employment laws and legal protections, including federal and state minimum wage and overtime law, employment discrimination, non-compete clauses, laws protecting the right to join with coworkers, the new Columbus Wage Theft Ordinance, anti-retaliation laws, and worker's compensation protection. This information is particularly relevant to low-wage, minority, and immigrant workers since they are often the victim of workers' rights violations. Vulnerable populations deserve better than to be taken advantage of for their work.

Socialist Alternative leader and Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant has won a fourth election: a winter special face-off against a racist, right-wing recall backed by big business. What can we learn from this victory? How can we apply these lessons from Kshama’s successful independent working-class politics?
