Today. July 4, 2026, we are choosing to celebrate you. Your protest signs speak for themselves; the America we want and are actively trying to save and better for the future.

Through the brutal cold to the hottest day of the year, we the people have been out. This collection of photos is from the past year and a half. We’re not done yet.

Today, we encourage everyone to read “What to the Slave is the 4th of July” by Frederick Douglass.

📸 Paul Becker as always 👏

Shortly after midnight on July 2, 2026, ICE agents were spotted inside Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, OH. Their vehicle was confirmed to have left from the field office in Westerville, OH. As of this evening, July 3, they are still at the hospital. Stooping down to the egregious level of holding post inside a hospital is a new low.

We are calling on OhioHealth to prohibit all ICE, HSI, and other agents from entering the premises of all locations.

Call Riverside Methodist Hospital at (614) 566-5708

Attend the silent protest tomorrow, July 4, 2026 10am-noon at N Broadway sidewalk in front of the main entrance. Bring water an signs!

Stand up against police brutality, justice for Kohen Wiley! Ohio Statehouse, July 1, 11am-1pm!

Kohen Wiley is just another victim of police brutality in this country. He was shot on June 14th at a Mississippi Walmart by police officers responding to a shoplifting call. Kohen’s funeral took place yesterday, June 27th.

Note: we are happy to be supporting this protest held by one of our community members who is new to organizing. We are not, however, the main organizers. If you are an organization in Columbus who wants to support this cause or say a few words at the protest, send us a message.

Hi friends! If you are able, please take a moment to donate to an amazing member of our community. Autumn is the reason why we were able to make so many whistle kits. She made the whistles not just for us, but for sooo many around Columbus and Ohio. No one deserves giant hospital bills!
