I was reading about bumble bees recently — specifically, their looming demise, thanks to human greed and ignorance — and started thinking about the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. We should have eaten from it!

Well, we did, but then apparently upchucked everything we learned and, in the process, fooled ourselves into thinking that technology has allowed us to recreate the Garden of Eden from which we’d been banned. You might call it the Garden of Capitalism, in which humans can take what they want without consequences, forever and ever and ever. This seems to be the myth at the core of dominant global culture.

On Wednesday, June 28, workers at the 1085 W. 5th Ave. Starbucks store will be on an unfair labor practice strike to demand that Starbucks meet the partners at the bargaining table to negotiate a fair contract. The workers are also calling on the Company to end its attacks on LGBTQIA+ workers as part of its relentless union-busting campaign that includes threatening workers’ access to benefits and refusing to let partners put up pride decorations at dozens of stores across the country.

Now is the time for us to gather in unity with one clear message --

We as Ohioans say NO to Cop City. 

We know what we need for safe communities, and this is not it.

Please wear red to support families impacted by police brutality and come with your knowledge of what we do need in the budget to make our communities safer.

For the past year the world has watched as activists and community members of Atlanta have fought against the proposed “Cop City,” and it seems officials in Ohio want to bring a similar training center to Central Ohio. Officials are looking to create a commission titled "The Joint Law Enforcement Training Center Study.”
