Ohio’s reliance on the cash bail system has created a two-tiered system of justice: one for the wealthy and one for the rest of us. Being locked in jail can lead to job loss, housing instability, and precious time away from family and loved ones. Cash bail is the entrance into the beast of mass incarceration. Join Melekte Melaku, lead organizer for the ACLU Ohio’s Campaign for Bail Reform and member of UUJO, to learn more about this issue and what you can do.

Disastrous hurricanes. Widespread droughts and wildfires. Withering heat. Extreme rainfall. It is hard not to conclude that something’s up with the weather, and many scientists agree. It’s the result of the weather machine itself — our climate — changing, becoming hotter and more erratic.
