Join us for a powerful conversation on the death penalty from the perspectives of families of murder victims. All too often, their voices are lost in a judicial process that is exploitative and re-traumatizing.

Hosted by The Vineyard Bowling Green and featuring Rev. Dr. Jack Sullivan Jr., Jonathan Mann, and Rev. Dr. Crystal Walker, this will be an unforgettable event from #NoDeathPenaltyOH.

Friday, August 27, 11am, Woodhouse Vegan Cafe + Space, 851 N. Fourth St.

Join us for lunch at the Woodhouse Vegan Cafe + Space in the Italian Village. The only cost is your lunch. In return, you’ll have an excellent meal and great company. I have copied off their website “creative ways to park” once you arrive. They do not take reservations. First come, first serve. Please allow yourself some time to get there and our group will attempt a quick “takeover” to ensure proper seating.

How can these experiences inform our own community to become more diverse, equitable, and inclusive?
