Protest/Rally

Weekly. Support veterans: Protect the VA! Join our Rush-Hour Resistance Rally outside the Chalmers Wylie VA Clinic to protest the cuts to the VA and support veterans! We will be demonstrating on public sidewalks on both sides of James Road, which are highly visible to commuters passing by. To eliminate any possibility of getting in the way of patients or staff at the clinic, we are asking everyone to avoid using the VA lot to the east of James Road. Instead, please park west of James Road.

Concerned about proposed cuts to Social Security services? Appalled by the abduction and renditioning of legal immigrants? Outraged by the theft of our private information? Generally dumbfounded by the chaotic combination of evil and incompetence coming from the White House? Make up a sign and let people know! The intersection is surrounded by the public Village Green Park on all four sides, giving us lots of room to hold signs protesting the ongoing destruction of our democracy by the Trump/DOGE administration.

All people, adults and children are invited to join Baladna in reading these names aloud.  Reserve a time slot here.

With the #TrumpShutdown, federal workers across the country and here at the Columbus Veterans Affairs Medical Center. While VA workers are still getting paid, we know many federal workers are not. And we also know the Trump Administration wants to use this Shutdown to layoff tens of thousands of federal workers.

Join Students for Justice in Palestine throughout the week as we commemorate 2 years of genocide and 2 years of resistance, as we continue to recommit ourselves to the struggle for Palestinian liberation.

The Old First Presbyterian Church will hold Moral Monday prayers in the Ohio Statehouse Rotunda. "Moral Mondays" gatherings are regularly held in the Ohio Statehouse by the Ohio Poor People's Campaign and its allies. These monthly events are part of a national movement for moral revival.

Let’s protest together and let folks know that we are tired of all the shenanigans.
