About this event

Third Actors have been stepping up in defense against the Trump/Musk attack — organizing and showing up in force. We’ll share what’s working and where we need to keep up the fight. But we’re not just playing defense — we’re ready to go on offense, and it’s time we take this momentum and turn them into timely wins! This call is about what’s coming up next, and how you can be a part of it.

Political realities for the LGBTQ+ community have grown increasingly bleak, both in Ohio and nationally. That makes us feel a lot of feelings, most of them probably in the realms of “worried” and “mad.” But we can transform those feelings into action. In fact, our faith calls us to do just that — to stay engaged in the world around us.

Please join us for dinner at 4th & State.
