Trinity Episcopal Church, 125 E. Broad St., and then Ohio Statehouse
Sick and tired of being sick and tired? Ready for real and fundamental change that will shift the status quo and lift from the bottom? Join hundreds of other Ohioans, and thousands of other people, in a nationwide day of action at the Mass Poor People’s and Low-wage Workers’ State House Assemblies and To the Polls! Ohio will join 30+ other states, across the country, in calling on our state and federal governments to address the interlocking injustices of racism, poverty, the war economy, and ecological devastation.
Poverty is the fourth leading cause of death in this country, and there are 140 million poor and low-wealth people in the U.S. (almost half the population) who are at, below, or just one crisis away from the (outdated) “poverty line” while subsidies and policy preferences continue flowing to rich individuals and corporations.
We cannot address poverty without addressing ecological devastation, nor can we address systemic racism without addressing the war economy, and so on. It all goes hand in hand, and the time to act is now.
Thursday, February29, 7-8:30pm
Karl Road Library, 5590 Karl Rd. Conference Room 2
If anyone lives around the Columbus, Ohio area, we have been trying to form a local chapter of Veterans for Peace. So far, it has been only minimally successful. But it has only been three months. Our hope is to grow enough to need someone to take minutes, maybe a secretary, and a treasurer. Perhaps Co-Chairs, if people think that would be a good idea. We hope you can come to our next meeting.

Monday, February 26, 12:30pm, Nationwide Insurance Headquarters, One Nationwide Plaza, W. Nationwide Blvd.
Tell Nationwide: “Insure Our Future, Not Fossil Fuels”
In 2023, the United States experienced a record number of weather-and climate-related disasters that each caused $1 billion or more in damages: 28 severe storms, floods, wildfires, winter storms, hurricanes, and droughts, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The insurance industry stands on the front lines of this climate crisis. Every time a climate-related fire, flood, or storm damages or destroys an insured person’s home or business, they expect their insurance policy to help foot the bill for repairs and rebuilding.
Please register for this event using this form so we can keep you informed of any last-minute changes in plan such as weather delays or street closures. Thank you!
