We are marching from Charlottesville to Washington D.C. to demonstrate our commitment to confronting white supremacy wherever it is found.

Saturday, August 19, 2-3pm, Columbus City Hall, 90 W. Broad St.

Last Saturday, the face of hate descended on Charlottesville to wage a campaign of terror and violence. It was not an anomaly. America was “discovered,” founded and built on an ocean of blood and genocide and our legacy of racism remains alive and well today. This Saturday, the nation responds in solidarity by calling out for the removal of local symbols and institutions of white supremacy.

Saturday, July 22, 4pm, outside of the Ohio Union, 1739 N. High St.

We will gather outside the Ohio Union, 1739 N. High St., to “Rally Against Pence and Portman” and to protest the extreme right-wing agenda, that endangers many Ohioan’s jobs and health, that both politicians have endorsed.
