In partnership with the Ohio Council of Churches, we will convene an advocacy day on November 29, 9:30am-3:30pm, for people of faith and good conscience to come to the Statehouse to talk with policymakers on issues such as how to transform our criminal justice system, food security, and strengthening our schools.

Friends. Freedom. Food. Music. Parents. Children. Pets. Laughter. Emotions. And dozens of other things. Despite the virus, racial injustice, and many other challenges, we all have so much to be thankful for.

So join me (Bill Cohen) from 7pm to 8:30pm on Friday, November 25 as I sing a unique concert of songs that express gratitude for all that we have. It’s our ninth year for this Thanksgiving-themed concert.

Thanksgiving Day can be difficult to navigate through if the majority of your friends and family aren’t vegan like you. We have been challenged even finding a place that is open on Thanksgiving Day where there is a menu that is free from animal-based items.

Happily, the Wellness Forum Health is allowing us to use their space for a Vegan Thanksgiving Potluck! Please bring your favorite vegan dish to share.

Please join us as we remember victims of traffic crashes and their loved ones, as well as first responders and medical professionals.

Traffic crash rates in Columbus are still increasing, unfortunately — up 14% in 2021 and rising — despite the “Vision Zero” traffic safety strategy that had been adopted by the City of Columbus two years ago.
