For too long, policymakers have neglected Ohio’s childcare system, and the littlest Ohioans suffer the consequences.
Students need our support right now.
As of April 30, over 1,100 students have been arrested for protesting on campuses. Instead of listening to student demands, university presidents are calling the police and armed guards to shut down their activism. Like a majority of people in the U.S., students want a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to genocide. It has been over 200 days of Israeli massacres of Palestinians. It must end.

What ever happened to "Don't Be Evil"?
Google dropped that as its motto several years ago.
Then it took on (jointly with Amazon) a $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli military and government.
When Google employees objected -- perhaps remembering that old motto -- Google fired at least 50 of them.
But shouldn't some things be required even if they're not your motto? Things like "Don't Be Genocidal"?

The event at the courthouse in the morning is not a protest. The plan is for people to remain outside the courthouse and show their love and support for the people inside when they exit.
