Protesting pipelines, fracking wells, power plants, and other polluting and dangerous “critical infrastructure sites” just got a lot harder now that Ohio S.B. 33 is law. What does this mean for you if you engage in public witness events? What are the new rules about liability for organizations, non-profits, churches, grassroots groups? How are the four new bills recently proposed in the Ohio Senate and House (S.B. 16, S.B. 41, H.B. 109, and H.B. 22) designed to make it even more complicated to engage in public witness in the streets, sidewalks and at the Statehouse?
Though the focus will be on Ohio, similar bills are making their way through state legislatures across the country.
Guest Speakers:
• Tadd Pinkston, Pinkston Law; board member, Unitarian Universalist Justice Ohio
• Rev Joan VanBecelaere, Executive Director, Unitarian Universalist Justice Ohio
This program is part of Move to Amend Central Ohio’s “Speaking of Democracy” series. All are welcome!

Budgets are moral documents that establish Ohio’s priorities for the next two years. Come and learn about what is in the budget to address poverty, inequality, and hunger in our communities. The Ohio Council of Churches and our statewide partners will work with legislative offices so that you will have an opportunity to share your thoughts and opinions with your State Representatives on how we can promote the common good in Ohio.
Join the Ohio Council of Churches and the Hunger Network of Ohio for a day of public witness regarding the State Biennial Budget. Budgets are moral documents that establish Ohio’s priorities for the next two years.
We are thrilled to announce that there will be comments from Bishop Michael Curry, the 27th Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church and a homily from Bishop Elizabeth A. Eaton, Presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, as part of this spirited event.
Come in be inspired as we prepare for meetings with members of the Ohio General Assembly to speak against hunger, homelessness, and inequity.
