When Donald Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Kennedy's retirement, we knew we were in for a fight. President Trump has vowed to appoint Justices who would overturn and gut Roe v. Wade, and that's what we anticipate should Kavanaugh be confirmed. Despite over 70% of his constituents supporting Roe v Wade, Senator Portman wrote an op-ed about Brett Kavanaugh, saying that he is glad that President Trump nominated him, and affirming his support for this dangerous ideologue. Let's show Portman what we think of that decision! Location: Outside of Senator Portman’s office, 37 W. Broad St., Columbus. Organized by Naral Pro-Choice Ohio. Facebook event

Night Out for Safety and Liberation is an annual event which takes place on the firstTuesday of August where we redefine and re-imagine what public safety means for our communities. Night Out for Safety and Liberation began in 2013, as an alternative to the more police-centric National Night Out, which highlights police-community partnerships as the pathway to community safety. Too often, conversations about public safety revolve around policing and punishment. But safety is about more than that—it’s about having a living wage job, healthy food, healthcare, housing, education, and more. Location: Bethel A.M.E Columbus, 2021 Cleveland Ave, Columbus, Ohio 43211. Facebook Event.
