Meeting
We have witnessed an unprecedented assault on American democracy and the Rule of Law across the nation and here in Ohio.
Join us for a virtual conversation with former Ohio Supreme Court justices Maureen O’Connor and Michael P. Donnelly as they give their perspective on threats to the Rule of Law, how they’re defending democracy in Ohio through co-founding Ohioans for the Rule of Law, and how communities can push back against democratic backsliding.
October 11 | 2-4 pm ET | Hillard Library
Reflecting on 3+ Years of Gaza’s Genocide and 78+ Years of Ongoing Nakba, we ask:

If you cannot attend in person, we will be streaming live from the Baladna IG page during the event.
