Thursday, July 17 - 6pm
Ohio Statehouse, Broad Street and High Street
July 17 is the 5th anniversary of the passing of Congressman John Lewis. The Good Trouble Lives On events nationwide are in his honor. Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.
From voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. But we know the truth: in America, the power lies with the people, and we’re rising to prove it.
This is more than a protest; it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead, and a new front in the struggle for freedom.
Please note: A core principle behind our Good Trouble Lives On actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Our speaker Chikako will speak on “Project 2025 and Managing Socio-Political Stress: Community and Personal Empowerment.”
Data from the American Psychological Association to understand the impact of sociopolitical stress on mental and physical health will be presented. The data and ongoing study groups provide practical tools to build resilience and restore balance.
The following discussion will focus on the participants to (1.) identify their personal stress triggers, set boundaries with political information, and to (2.) engage in respectful dialogue during politically charged situations.
While Florida's GOP sells "Alligator Alcatraz" merch, real people are suffering.
Here's what we've heard in just the first week since it's been opened: The facility has flooded. Massive swarms of mosquitoes fill the air. Detainees report that there are maggots in their food, the lights are on 24/7, and they're being denied basic medical care, showers, and religious rights. Its remote location makes legal and family visits nearly impossible – isolating detainees even further from the outside world.
This sounds less like a government facility and more like something out of a dystopian horror story. Our government is sending a clear message that they don't care about human dignity – and they won't even allow government officials to conduct unannounced oversight into this potential human rights violation.
Long-time Columbus “trucker country” band The Sovines are playing a special show at Cafe Bourbon Street, Thursday July 10 in support of community radio station WCRS. Joining them on the bill are Bee Humana and Closet Mix.
The Sovines formed in 1995 when a friend suggested to Bob Starker and Matthew Benz that they should form a band to play country truck driving songs and call themselves “the Sovines,” after famed country singer Red Sovine. It might have been said in jest, but Starker and Benz ran with it. With bass player Ed Mann and drummer Pete English (and later Gene Brodeur on drums), the Sovines took their revved-up take on truck-driving songs, punky rock n’ roll, country ballads and roots rock on the road and in the studio, through five albums and a lot of shows. This show will mark their first live appearance in over three years.

When an actually progressive candidate wins a primary and excites people who might become loyal supporters of the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party's so-called leaders tend to put their efforts into undermining or defeating their own candidate and potential.
