The Columbus Community Bill of Rights supporters will give a Press Conference to update all interested media where this landmark city ordinance initiative stands with the Ohio Supreme Court, and emphatically draw a line: We can no longer default to the powers-that-be, if they fail to honor our democratic process and our inalienable right to protect our community. Currently the court has a motion to reconsider their September 14, 2018 decision to keep the people’s initiative off the ballot based on a decision from a federal judge on September 19 to allow two unrelated initiatives on the November ballot.

“Breathe Free,” the Columbus Crossing Borders documentary, is a powerful and beautiful film that spotlights the stories of refugees and the art exhibit that has been inspired by those stories. Through the lens of filmmaker Doug Swift, we meet several courageous people who have fled war, terror, and devastation. We are introduced to the dedicated souls who offer them comfort, support, and advocacy despite the backlash of unease and restless fear surrounding U.S. border issues. And we ultimately learn how 34 artists came to create a humanitarian project based on the timeless plight of forced migration.
View the film trailer here.
Hosted by Columbus Crossing Borders Project.
