Columbus Metropolitan Library Main Branch Auditorium, 96 S. Grant Avenue 
For those in Congressional District 3 (Joyce Beatty's district)
Facebook Event

Indivisible is a grassroots organization that resists the Trump agenda by targeting our federal members of Congress. If you live in Ohio District 3 (Joyce Beatty’s District), or even if you don’t, and you want to get involved, join us! We focus much of our activisim on Senator Portman. At this meeting, we’ll talk about our wins in Trump’s first 100 days and what our plans are moving forward. We also will have an update on the Fair Districts Fair Elections anti gerrymandering campaign and a presentation on how members can use FB and Twitter to support the resistance!

In Columbus, the enormous influence of corporate interests and wealthy campaign donors are reflected in the city's policies and initiatives. As a result of these imbalances, many of the city’s residents, particularly those in poor and minority neighborhoods, have very little impact on decisions made by our city’s political leaders.Although the political leadership in Columbus is dominated by the Democratic Party, this does not necessarily translate into progressive policies.

The Easton tax abatement is not old news and we cannot treat it as such. City officials agreed to a complex, massive tax giveaway worth $68 million to an out-of-state corporate developer (also, a campaign donor to the mayor) to build housing at Easton Town Center. The developer, in return, agreed to provide a mere $5.75 million for infrastructure and revitalization efforts in Linden, most of which will be reimbursed by taxpayers.

PURPOSE
"WHY WE’RE MARCHING: There is no denying it: Donald Trump’s election is a threat to the future of our planet, the safety of our communities, and the health of our families.

This new administration is attacking the hard-won protections of our climate, health, and communities, and the rights of people of color, workers, indigenous people, immigrants, women, LGBTQIA, young people, and more.

If the policies he proposed on the campaign trail are implemented, they will destroy our climate, decimate our jobs and livelihoods, and undermine the civil rights and liberties won in many hard fought battles.

It’s up to us to stop that from happening before it starts.
