We want to send out a message of power to the community and its public officials! \n\n\n\nWhy are People in Jail Before Trial?Not for punishment because they have not been convicted.

SUMMARY:Learning to Hate Democracy: The Rise of Right-Wing Organizations
DESCRIPTION:In person or on Zoom  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Matthew Lacombe\, Alexander P. Lamis Associate Professor in U.S. Politics\, CWRU. \n\n\n\nRight-wing\, MAGA-friendly “think tanks” such as the Claremont Institute\, the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute think equality is an unnatural state and democracy is for weaklings. Their influence can be seen in all aspects of national\, state\, and local government. \n\n\n\nIn Ohio\, the Buckeye Institute has been involved in many ultra-conservative initiatives such as promoting charter schools as a solution to high school drop-out rates. The Buckeye Institute is also an affiliate member of the State Policy Network (SPN). SPN is a web of right-wing think tanks and is the tip of the spear of far-right\, nationally funded policy agenda in the states that support extremists in the Republican Party.  \n\n\n\nWhat is the wave of right-wing think tanks? What can those who love democracy do to support our institutions?

SUMMARY:"Citizens not Politicians" Petition Signature Gathering Training
DESCRIPTION:GCC has committed to do our part in signature gathering for the proposed Ohio Constitutional Amendment to create a “Citizens not Politicians” method of re-districting by collecting 20\,000 signatures by mid May toward the statewide goal of 700\,000. \n\n\n\nYour UUCC GCC Core team has set a goal of gathering at least 400 signatures. One dozen of your fellow congregants have taken the training and signed out petition books. We have arranged for a convenient training for you after worship service on Sunday March 24 from 11:30-12:30 in rooms 106-108. \n\n\n\nThis will be our kick-off for our current Good Trouble campaign. Plan to attend the training\, sign out a petition book\, and collect signatures. We will have a list of public events you can collect signatures at\, or you can simply collect from neighbors\, friends\, and family. Each signature is as important as any other!! Help us meet our goal and create more justice in Ohio.Also:  All are invited to the next Engage GCC meeting which will be IN PERSON at Forest Hills Presbyterian Church on Monticello on Thursday March 21 from 7-8:30pm.
