Protest/Rally

We’re coming together for a rally and march to show that we know what to do to make sure America never has a king: VOTE EARLY. We’ll be carrying signs saying WHY we are voting, WHEN & WHERE we are voting, and WHO we are bringing with us. 

Protest OSU Athletics' sponsorship with Anduril, the military technology company!

We believe that OSU has no business collaborating with companies that are a part of the military industrial complex, and that contribute to the reckless development of AI.

The fight isn’t over! Yesterday, Mayor Ginther announced that Flock usage is being put on hold. This is not a victory until all surveillance cameras are taken down and all contracts with mass surveillance networks are ended! A contract pause is not enough! Guardrail legislation is not enough!

Now is the time to keep up the pressure on City Council to ensure that the Flock contract is not renewed in November. Show up, bring a friend, and let’s show Columbus City Council that we will fight against the surveillance of our neighborhoods!

The Safety Not Surveillance Coalition is heading back to City Hall via a motorcade. We will not allow @columbuscitycouncil to ignore us.

Meet us at PJP Headquarters at 4:30 for the motorcade to City Hall. We will arrive at 5pm and there will be a community rally against ALPR cameras from 5-7pm.

The Safety Not Surveillance Coalition demands:
1. Cancel all existing contracts with Flock Safety immediately.
2. Cover the cameras immediately and dismantle them as soon as possible.

This protest has moved to the Nationwide headquarters building, 1 E. Nationwide Blvd., Columbus, Ohio. We'll be on the High Street side of the building. We are protesting here because Nationwide Realty Investors, a subsidiary, is currently renting office space to ICE at 774 Park Meadow Rd in Westerville, Ohio. There is some street parking in the area and a number of parking garages.
