Our legislators in Columbus are trying to silence us with bills that are so vague that public witness could end up being criminalized. Also, churches and organizations could lose every dollar because someone not in their group decided to be violent.
Join us in the virtual “public square” on July 21 to speak out against these awful anti-protest bills. We’ll broadcast this event via “Facebook Live” so that others will be able to listen and learn.
Create your own story, polish up and practice your upcoming testimony, or read testimony you’ve previously submitted. Let’s get the word out about the impact that these bills could have on everyday Ohioans.
Register now at bit.ly/virtualstories7-21.

Did you know that 40 states, including those with active death penalty statutes, haven’t executed anyone in five years? On July 18, it will be three years since Ohio has executed anyone. With two strongly bipartisan bills in the Ohio House and Senate, we are kindling the hope that Ohio will never execute anyone ever again.
That’s why we’re inviting you to participate in our “Day of Hope” on July 18. It’s simple to get involved:
• Light a candle in your home any time on July 18.
• Take a picture of your lit candle and either send it to us in an e-mail message [<allison@otse.org>], post it on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, and tag it with #NoDeathPenaltyOH.
• Feel free to include a comment about why you believe that there is hope for a future in Ohio without the death penalty.

In February, Sunrise Columbus and Sunrise hubs across Ohio launched a campaign for transit justice. We delivered over 100 letters to Senator Sherrod Brown, who, as Chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, is uniquely positioned to impact transit in our country. We demand that Senator Brown champion public transit and secure federal funding for expanded, accessible, and green public transit.
Why should you care about public transit?
Transit is an economic engine. Tens of millions of people in the U.S. rely on public transit to get to work every day, while every dollar invested in transit offers a five-to-one return. Ohio alone boasts over 200 manufacturers in the transit vehicle supply chain, and over 10,000 essential transit workers.
Transit is a civil right. Investing in public transit is an investment in racial justice. Sixty percent of transit riders are people of color. Yet over the past several decades, the federal investment in transportation has consistently neglected public transit.
