Arleen is a single mother trying to raise her two sons on the $20 a month she has left after paying for their rundown apartment. Scott is a gentle nurse consumed by a heroin addiction. Lamar, a man with no legs and a neighborhood full of boys to look after, tries to work his way out of debt. Vanetta participates in a botched stickup after her hours are cut. All are spending almost everything they have on rent, and all have fallen behind. Even in the most desolate areas of American cities, evictions used to be rare. But today, most poor renting families are spending more than half of their income on housing, and eviction has become ordinary, especially for single mothers. In vivid, intimate prose, Desmond provides a ground-level view of one of the most urgent issues facing America today. As we see families forced into shelters, squalid apartments, or more dangerous neighborhoods, we bear witness to the human cost of America’s vast inequality—and to people’s determination and intelligence in the face of hardship. Join us every other Tuesday as we discuss the New York Times Bestseller, "EVICTED: Poverty and Profit in the American City" by Matthew Desmond. We will be reading 4 chapters every 2 weeks. The first meeting of the month will focus on the text and the following meeting will be more of a policy analysis and news supplement session led by my co-host and Anthropology undergrad, Danielle Harlow. Our time together will culminate on June 7th where the author will be making a special appearance at the Ohio Theatre during the Community Shelter Board's Under One Roof Fundraiser. We will be purchasing tickets at a group rate for those interested. Hope you will be able to join us!

11 June Recycling Wrench-a-thon! June Recycling Wrench-a-thon! June 11, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm Third Hand Bicycle Co-op, 979 E 5th Ave, Columbus, Ohio 43201 Don't know much about fixing bikes? We've got a great opportunity for you! THBC gets lots of donated bikes, from both individuals and institutions in the area, and we fix as many of those bikes as we can. However, we have even more bikes that need to be scrapped for parts and recycled. On June 11, volunteers will be working all day to take apart donated bikes that we can't repair to riding condition, scrapping unusable frames and parts and salvaging parts we can use to fix other bikes. This is an especially good opportunity for people who don't know much about bike repair--taking apart bikes can be less stressful than trying to making them work again, and by taking apart bikes, you can see how the parts go together and get comfortable using the tools. Coordinators will be available if you have questions about how the pieces go together (or come apart). And you don't have to worry about breaking anything because the bikes are already going to be scrapped! We also welcome families! As you can see from the photo above, kids are welcome at this event, but must be supervised by an adult at all times. Like all wrench-a-thons, we'll have some refreshments available, and you can come and go as you please. So come down and help us clear out some old bikes!

Rally to protect public land from fracking June 14, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm State House, Columbus, OH 43215, Alliance for Ohio’s Future will hold a public demonstration on Wednesday, June 14th at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus to protest HB 49, a state budget bill that contains Amendment HC 2241, which strips the governor of the power to appoint members to the 4-member Oil and Gas Leasing Commission, and gives these appointment powers to the speaker of the house and president of the senate. All 58 state representatives who voted in favor of the bill received contributions to their 2016 races from the fossil fuel industry, adding up to a combined $1.18 million. Since 2011 Governor Kasich has declined to appoint anyone to the Oil and Gas Commission and in doing so has protected Ohio’s public land from fracking. If the new budget bill passes, fracking in state parks is likely to be on the horizon. Alliance for Ohio’s Future is a coalition of progressive organizations and activists concerned with climate change and loss of natural resources and wildlife habitat, who have come together to fight for Ohio’s future. Members include Buckeye Environmental Network, Dayton Indivisible for All, Keep Wayne Wild, The Ohio Revolution, Ohio Student Association, Our Voice, congressional candidate Samuel Ronan, and Wright State University College Democrats.

Their plan is devastating: 24 million Americans would lose their health insurance, discrimination based on pre-existing conditions will be allowed, and people who can’t maintain continuous coverage will be punished. But the ACA is also flawed, leaving over 28 million Americans uninsured as of 2017, and providing subpar coverage with prices too high for many individuals. Many healthcare advocates and politicians like Senator Bernie Sanders support covering all Americans under Medicare, creating a single payer system. Join us to learn more about the state of healthcare in the United States, and what a Medicare for All system would mean for Americans.

We're so excited to release our One Year Anniversary Zine (filled with art by YOU!) and celebrate a year of queer together. To help us celebrate, we're featuring poet Jaehla Meacham! When Jaehla was young and first coming out to her family, her mother decided to take her to a Christian therapist with hopes it would help her become straight. The therapist required her to keep a journal, but instead of writing regular journal entries she wrote poetry. That's how she started writing poetry and how poetry saved her life. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise and now years later poetry is still acting as her therapy. Poetry has made her realize that even the really difficult times in life hold beauty and that is worth sharing. If you don't want to get on the stage but do want to support local queer artists, this is also the event for you! As always, there will be snacks during our social hour! We'll also have our tip jar by the snacks for our feature.

The #BlackPride4 are four of a larger group of Black queer and trans people and allies who silently blocked Columbus Pride Parade to protest the acquittal of the police officer who killed Philando Castile and raise awareness about violence against Black trans women nationwide. After only 30 seconds of blocking the parade, police escalated the situation by pepper spraying and hitting the peaceful protesters with their bikes. Wriply, Ashley, Kendall, and Deandre were arrested. Three of the four who were arrested will shortly post bail, but Deandre has been wrongfully charged with a felony. This Monday at 8:30am we will gather outside of the Franklin County Municipal Courthouse to peacefully demonstrate against Deandre's charges. Their hearing will be at 9:00am. LIST OF DEMANDS: 1) Immediate release of Deandre 2) Drop all charges or pending charges against each of the #BlackPride4 3) Investigation of the excessive force from police against peaceful demonstrators Please bring signs pertaining to our demands.

About & Mission: RCC4C is an alliance of restored citizens and advocates who are working together to affect changes in our criminal justice system. We believe in a society where people are given second chances and the opportunity for redemption. Unfortunately, our present criminal justice system uses perpetuating punishment and collateral sanctions to create an underclass among us. The formerly incarcerated must have the ability to be rehabilitated and return to their families and the community with the tools necessary to rebuild and restructure their lives. Indeed, social justice demands that the criminal justice system be reevaluated, that barriers to employment, housing and other critical services be removed, and that increased resources—pre and post release—be used to assist individuals to restore their lives. Those closest to the problems have insights about these issues and their voices must be heard as solutions are crafted. Restored citizens’ perspectives and those whose lives have been impacted by the criminal justice system provide a different lens for community members and decision makers to think about criminal justice issues. This shift in thinking is necessary to achieve broad, meaningful, humane and lasting criminal justice reform. Advocacy Priorities: * Improve the support systems for those who are re-entering society from incarceration - It is estimated that 95% of prisoners will be released back into the community. These individuals and receiving communities would be better served if those who are returning have reliable access to housing, mental health care, recovery programs, and sustainable employment that will keep them out of poverty. This will help to reduce recidivism, reduce violence, and heal and stabilize families. * Promote humane treatment and restorative measures for those currently incarcerated – A majority of those entering our jails and prisons suffer with mental illness and/or addiction. These individuals need access to effective treatment. In 2015, Ohio prisons held 10 times the amount of mentally ill than mental health institutions in our state. [v] Furthermore, 80% of prisoners in Ohio have not completed high school and lack critical skills needed to maintain gainful employment, which is critical to the stability of the family. [vi] Restoration and rehabilitation needs to be central to the treatment of those currently incarcerated. * Lower the population in our county jails and state prisons – Our Jails and prisons are costly not only to individuals and families who are directly impacted by incarceration, but also to the taxpayers in Ohio. Since 1980 Ohio’s prison population has more than tripled. 1 in 4 state employees work in corrections. [vii] There are many areas in need of reform to help reduce the numbers of people incarcerated, including how we police our communities, creating more alternatives to incarceration, sentencing reform, and changing policies like mandatory minimums which limit judicial discretion. * Address policies and practices which serve as the foundation for unequal representation of black males, people of color, and the economically disadvantaged within the criminal justice system- The majority of individuals incarcerated are already marginalized in our society. Many policies and procedures used in our criminal justice system further target and disenfranchise these populations, increasing opportunity and wealth disparities in our communities. Issues like high costs for attorneys, court fees and bail also place many at a disadvantage maneuvering the criminal justice system.

Although it is one of the most common medical procedures, abortion remains highly stigmatized. Unlike other reproductive health services, abortion is shrouded in secrecy and silence. And when people do talk about abortion, these conversations are highly charged and fail to accurately capture the lived experiences of those who have had abortions. Abortion stigma leads to the social, medical, and legal marginalization of abortion care and is a barrier to access to high quality, safe abortion care. Stigma also perpetuates silence. Folks who have had abortions often stay silent; far too often those who actively oppose abortion are the only voices many people hear. Learn how to bust abortion stigma with the use of compassionate language and open, personal conversations calling folks into the abortion access movement. * Also, join us for an Intersectional Feminism Discussion Panel on Sunday the 25th at the Solar Stage from 2:50 -3:35 ** Community Free Admission See more details Proud Mouths Speaking Workshop for Women Proud Mouths Speaking Workshop for Women June 24, 2017 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm pin Hide Map It Looks Like It's Open,13 E Tulane Rd, Columbus, OH 43202, USA https://www.facebook.com/events/1129020650565059/ As marginalized people, we're often being talked over or silenced. Because of this, it can be hard to feel worthy of raising one's own voice. After many years of performing stand-up comedy and willingly putting myself in public speaking situations, I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to share what I've learned with you. In this workshop, we'll be exploring what it feels like to be confident while verbally expressing yourself in front of a group. There's a lot of mental preparation that comes before getting on the stage, as this is where you'll harness your power and volume as a performer. The safe space we create together will help you to push your performance and creativity to new heights. We'll walk through five different exercises as a group, all designed for a specific purpose. We'll be digging into ways to help you feel worthy of raising your voice, techniques to help you convey emotion through speech, and improving your overall presentation skills. We'll also practice getting more comfortable occupying physical space. Please make sure to bring a notebook to write in, a pen or pencil, any/all questions you have about how to amplify your voice, and your own personal "you-ness." Space is extremely limited, so buy a ticket ASAP. Can't wait to see you! *This event is trans and non-binary inclusive.

Beer from The Columbus Brewing Company is sold in large, colorful mugs to fund the cost of the festival itself and to raise money for community projects and grants.
