“Inhale/Exhale” is a space for restorative healing for organizers and activists in our lovely ecosystem. We welcome all organizers in the progressive and left movements to honor their bodies by resting and entering this space to learn ways to heal. In this installment, we will focus on “rest post-election.” We need rest in order to build capacity for the world we want to see. We rest intentionally so that we can make space for the dream. Please sign up to attend this lovely event!

For decades, the State of Ohio has underinvested in public transit, by its own accounts, by hundreds of millions of dollars. Our communities need that funding to support transit improvements and to help secure matching federal funding for major projects or services. We build on what we learned in Transit Advocacy 101 as we plan for the 2025 Ohio State Budget and make a plan to bring Ohioans transit investment they long deserve.
Attend if you:
Sunday, November 17, 1pm, Columbus Metropolitan Library [Main Branch] [Rm. 1-B], 96 S. Grant Ave.
Are you interested in building a better world through collective action? Then this program is for you!
Unlike many of our prior political education initiatives, this one is focused on sharpening our collective strategic analysis — our ability to create campaigns capable of articulating a clear vision for the future, identifying the strategy and tactics most likely to deliver a victory, and adapting to changing political-economic conditions.
