It’s past time that Ohio lawmakers repeal ALL of HB 6!
They have a golden opportunity to do that by ending the consumer bailout of the two outdated, polluting OVEC coal plants — one of which is in Indiana. This coal giveaway was added at the last minute to HB 6’s nuclear bailout (already repealed), and is costing Ohio consumers $233,000 every day. Bring your home made signs, dress in festive holiday attire, bring friends and neighbors! If we get 240 people, each standing 10 feet apart, we can surround Capitol Square and really make a statement!
RSVP today so we can get a good count! ohiocitizen.org/december9

In the U.S. much of our attention has had to focus on reversing the intensifying cold war with China.

Thursday, December 9, 2021, 6:00 PM. National LCIP Forum – The Fight For Citizenship For All. Adding to its 35 years of failed promises, the Democratic Party has excluded a path to citizenship from the Budget Reconciliation Bill – excluding also all the important economic and climate justice provisions – and leaving 11 million undocumented immigrants at risk of deportation. But from California to Chicago, from New York to Washington D.C., undocumented families are saying enough. No more lies! No more deportations! A clear and permanent path to citizenship for all, now! The Democrats’ failure to pass the Budget Reconciliation Bill is only their latest betrayal. Join us as we hear from immigrant leaders, labor leaders, and public education teachers, among others, on the importance of connecting our struggles and building an independent working class party that is rooted in our movements, that is accountable to the grassroots through labor and community assemblies, and that can stand up to both corporate parties. The time is ripe to seize the momentum of Striketober and the growing movements for racial, gender, and climate justice to win critical reforms for all working class people and oppressed communities. Our time is now. Labor & Community For An Independent Party. Register here.
Thursday, December 9, 2021, 7:00 PM. Blueprint for Democracy 2021: Democracy and the Courts, the Intersection between Race, Law, and Democracy. For democracy to work, systemic racial inequities in the law and the courts must be addressed. There is a deep distrust of the criminal justice system, which is inherently an issue unto itself while also threatening the legitimacy of the courts. Breaking down these barriers is key to eliminating racism and implicit biases within the laws, courts, and judges and is also key to building diversity on the bench so judges reflect the communities they serve. Panelists include Kyle Strickland, Senior Legal Analyst at the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race & Ethnicity at Ohio State University, retired Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Ronald Adrine, Rev. Raymond Greene, Jr., executive director of Freedom BLOC, and Maria Bruno, Public Policy Director, Equality Ohio. Sponsored by Common Cause Ohio, Ohio Fair Courts Alliance, Freedom BLOC, Ohio Council of Churches, and ACLU of Ohio. Register here.

The conversation will be led by the Director of NRCAT’s U.S. Prisons Program, and solitary survivor himself, Johnny Perez, and will include: Ceyenne Doroshow, Founder and Executive Director, Gays and Lesbians Living in a Transgender Society (G.L.I.T.S.) (New York), Steven Mangual, Justice Advocate Coordinator, Latino Justice PRLDEF Southeast Region (Florida), Kimberly Jenkins-Snodgrass, Vice Chairperson, Interfaith Action for Human Rights (Virginia), and Jack Morris, Lead Community Health Worker/Coordinator, St. John’s Well Child & Family Center (California).
