Did you know that 40 states, including those with active death penalty statutes, haven’t executed anyone in five years? On July 18, it will be three years since Ohio has executed anyone. With two strongly bipartisan bills in the Ohio House and Senate, we are kindling the hope that Ohio will never execute anyone ever again.

That’s why we’re inviting you to participate in our “Day of Hope” on July 18. It’s simple to get involved:

Saturday, July 17, 1-3pm and 3:15-5:15 p.m., Stratford Ecological Center, 3083 Liberty Rd., Delaware, Ohio

Come join us at Stratford Ecological Center for a fun two hours of learning about pollinators and their habitats. We will do a leisurely stroll around the farm and learn about native bees, butterflies, and other insects that help with pollination. Each of these pollinators play a vital role in the food chain that we humans are a part of. Each month, the farm changes and new wonders will be found, so plan on joining us every month for new bees and topics.
