Join this Columbus, Ohio in person training from States at the Core on effectively protecting your neighborhoods from federal enforcement incursions. ICE Watch and other rapid response tactics are key strategies being used by people across the country to protect their communities against aggressive activity from federal law enforcement agencies like ICE and Border Patrol. Whether or not you are part of an established community response network, this training will share important skills for building neighborhood resilience, documenting ICE activity, and supporting neighbors.

On February 23, Evict Private Equity will again ask Council City Council to consider an ordinance limiting the number of single-family homes private equity firms and institutional investors can own in our city.

Institutional investors are buying up homes, driving up prices, and making it harder for Columbus families to afford to live here.

We need you there.

City Council needs to see that residents want Columbus homes to belong to Columbus family, not out-of-state corporations.
