This Sunday, July 18, 2021 marks three years since Ohio’s last execution. IJPC joins others across the state to mark Sunday as a Day of Hope, so that we may never see another execution again. As we reflect on life today, we remember the lives of the victims, those who have been executed, and the families of all who have been left behind.

We invite you to light a candle in your home at any time on July 18, and take a picture of it and either send it to allison@otse.org or post it on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram with the #NoDeathPenaltyOH. You are invited to include a comment about why you have hope for a future in Ohio without the death penalty.

Join Green Umbrella, the Ohio Environmental Council, and democracy advocates across Ohio in the fight for Fair Maps in 2021. Every community map and individual story matters in the fight for equal districts.

The OEC Democracy Team will run an interactive workshop,
Tuesday, July 20th, starting promptly at 6:00pm.
We’ll be exploring community mapmaking, showcasing how you can describe your geographic space in support of Ohio’s redistricting process. Attendees will use an online tool, DistrictR, to define their community boundaries, institutions, assets, and issues. Community maps inform the district creation process and help Mapmakers identify equable locations for boundaries based on geographic and community interests, rather than partisan interests.

In-person registration will be capped at 40 people at Green Umbrella’s Offices, 5030 Oaklawn Drive, Cincinnati.

You are also able to join virtually via ZOOM
