Community

We will remember all people killed and seriously injured on our streets and highways, as well as promote strategies to make those streets and highways safer.

After a long and difficult government shutdown many Ohioans are looking for a moment to reconnect, reflect, and move forward together. Few figures symbolize unity, courage, and community more than Rosa Parks.

This year marks the 20th Annual Statewide Tribute to Rosa Parks — 20 years since I led the effort for Ohio to become the first state to designate December 1 as Rosa Parks Day.

It remains a milestone that unites our communities and leaders.

We are hosting a third community coversation on immigration and our response. Collaboration with Black Men Build, Interfaith Association of Central Ohio, and others.

Meal provided.

This event is held every Sunday.

Let’s stand up for democracy while building a community via a postcard writing party. We will supply cards, snacks and drinks. Feel free to bring anything to make the postcards more fun to read with stickers or markers. For those who are able, stamps are appreciated.
