I know it’s naive, but I really want our political leaders to respond to the serious crisis we face as a country without concern for their political futures. I know…naive/wishful thinking.

The "Kyle Rittenhouse Bill," SB 185, doesn't make Ohio safer; it just makes people like this think it's okay to kill people of color. Tell @wilkinohio to shoot this down in committee before instigators shoot us down. #stopOHantiprotestbills #ourvoicestogether

"Kyle Rittenhouse Bill," SB 185, would allow armed instigators to show up to protests in Ohio. It currently sits in the Government Oversight Committee in the House. Tell the Chair, Shane Wilkin @wilkinohio this bill needs to die so innocent protesters don't. #ourvoicestogether
