Protest/Rally

Friday, January 27, 4pm, OSU Oval [near the Thompson statue]

Refugees are welcome here! No human being is illegal!

On Friday, January 27, we will be rallying near the Thompson Statue on the OSU Oval (at 4pm) in response to Trump’s explicit targeting of refugee and immigrant communities.

In the seven days since Trump has taken power, he has pushed forward a slate of reactionary executive orders:

• Authorizing the expansion of the US-Mexico border wall

• Stripping federal grant money to sanctuary cities

• Hiring 5000 border patrol agents

Friday, February 24, 3:30pm, gathering at the Wexner Center Plaza at the corner of N. High St. and 15th Ave.; the march will leave at approximately 3:45pm

The Ohio State University is one of the largest public universities in the country. So what do we do when the administration tries to sell our tax-payer owned energy management system to a private corporation, for private profit and benefit, at the expense of unionized campus workers? We fight back.

Thursday, January 26, 12noon, Chase Bank [Broad St. Downtown], 100 E. Broad St.

Divest your money from the Dakota Access Pipeline!

With Trump as president, the fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline [DAPL] is not over. There will be a rally in front of Chase Bank, 100 E. Broad St., asking their patrons to divest their money from the institutions that stand to profit from the pipeline.

If you bank with Chase, divest now!

Friday, January 20, 11:30am-1:30pm, OSU Oval

Join us on the OSU Oval at 11:30am on Inauguration Day, Friday, January 20, to stand strong against Donald Trump’s racist, sexist, anti-immigrant agenda.

Students and non-students alike are welcome!

Donald Trump and the Republican Party are preparing to unleash a storm of attacks on women, immigrants, the Muslim community, LGBTQ people, workers, and the environment. We must stand together in solidarity against Trump’s attempts to divide us!

Monday, January 9, 10am-12:15pm, Trinity Episcopal Church on Capitol Square, 125 E. Broad St.; and U.S. Senator Rob Portman’s office, 37 W. Broad St., Ste. 300

This rally in Columbus will join nationwide protests against Trump’s “Climate Denial Cabinet” and will call on U.S. Senator Rob Portman to vote against Trump’s “fossil fuel industry” appointees; in addition, this rally will recognize and address other justice and economic issues in Ohio.

Friday, January 20, different times and locations in Central Ohio

Join the call to action asking that organizations, groups, families, or friends take public action on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2017, to send a clear message that we are not in alignment with the new President.

It will take all of us, using all of our skills, abilities, connections, knowledge and insight, to build a city that keeps each other safe, stands for justice for all, and fights back against hate and oppression. We are calling for a full day of rolling actions and events.

Thursday, December 8, 2-4pm, Schottenstein Center, 555 Borror Dr. [northwest of the intersection of W. Lane Ave. and Olentangy River Rd.]

Donald Trump will be meeting privately with victims of last Monday’s campus attack this Thursday at the Schottenstein Center. Let’s gather to protest his presence and show that Donald Trump is not welcome in our state let alone so close to campus.

We reject the exploitation of a tragic event on our campus and the disrespect of our fellow students’ pain for Trump’s racist political purposes.
