May 1st, (“May Day” - International Workers' Day), the Central Ohio Worker Center and other solidarity organizations will be celebrating collective resistance and #ReclaimColumbus for a dignified voice for workers, students, and community. Inspired by Ohio State students with Reclaim OSU, we will show solidarity highlighting the intersection of JUSTICE, FREEDOM and DIGNITY in Columbus.

On Sunday, March 6, at 12:30 pm, hundreds of farmworkers, religious leaders, students, and consumers will gather at Goodale Park to march to Wendy’s at 3592 North High Street to protest the chain in its hometown for its failure to respect farmworker rights, and ending at Tuttle Park.
The protest, organized by local group Ohio Fair Food in partnership with the farmworker-led Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), is part of the CIW’s Workers’ Voice Tour, which builds on a three-year consumer campaign and a year-long national student boycott of Wendy’s, launched by Ohio State University students a year ago.

There has been no indictment for the Cleveland police officers that murdered 12 year old Tamir Rice. Let's show the world that Columbus demands that Black Lives be treated with dignity, respect, and justice. The whole State of Ohio is responsible for the disgusting and racist negligence shown at every level of this case, and it's time we let our state know that we will not be silent in the face of injustice. Bring signs and banners. And for those able, be ready to chant. Please continue to check the event page throughout the day if you plan on coming late, we'll post updates regularly.
