June Double Feature!
SENATE BILL 1 ATTACKS OHIO STATE AND OTHER PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES
IT BECOMES THE LAW ON JUNE 27th.
BUT...
WE THE PEOPLE CAN OVERTURN the"Advance Ohio Higher Education Act."
It bans diversity initiatives at public universities, forbids faculty from striking, and gives politicians control over classroom content. In spite of over 1500 testimonies opposing S.B. 1, Representative Ty Mathews voted for it and Governor DeWine signed it into law.
But members of the Youngstown State University’s chapter of the Ohio Education Association have begun the process of giving Ohio voters the chance to decide if S.B. 1 should be the law. Nearly 250,000 signatures from around the state are needed to place a referendum on this November ballot.
Where/When you can sign the petition:
This Wednesday the 11th
6:00 to 8:00 pm
at the Riverside Park Bandshell
Saturday the 14th
Noon to 3:00
in front of the Hancock Co. Courthouse
3:00 to 6:00
VetFest in front of the Library

A $25 to $40 million military parade for his birthday?!
Protest what
Donald the First
is doing on June 14th
Donald Trump thinks his rule is absolute, but in America, we don’t do “kings.” Who's Country? OUR COUNTRY!
NO KINGS is a national day of protest in response to
the increasing authoritarian rule and corruption from
Trump and his puppets. When our elected officials do not listen to us or follow the laws, we must rise up!
We’ve watched as they’ve tried to take away free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts every step of the way. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. Now he's going after our Veterans and wants to take away Flag Day.
On June 14, Flag Day-Trump wants tanks in a military D.C. parade for a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength.
But real power isn’t staged in Washington.
It rises up from the people.
Americans across the country will once again take to
our streets on June 14. The flag doesn’t belong to
Donald Trump. It belongs to us! Veteran's Day belongs to our Veterans! This country belongs to us!
No thrones, no crowns, no kings!
#NoKings #Ohio50501 #50501Movement Nokings.org
A core principle behind all No Kings and 50501 events
is a commitment to nonviolent action.
We expect all participants to seek to
de-escalate any potential confrontation with
those who disagree with our values.
