  • State House Bills Impacting You: We'll explore recent and proposed legislation and how it directly impacts our lives in Ohio, giving you the information you need to be an informed citizen.
  • The Urgency of NOW: Learn about pressing issues in our community, how they're being addressed, and what we can do collectively to initiate change.

Our distinguished panelists for the evening include:

  • Raphael Davis-Williams of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Alpha Rho Lambda Chapter, bringing his wealth of experience in fraternity leadership and civic activism.
  • EhKees & Tareya, the dynamic duo from Columbus Can't Wait Podcast, known for their commentary on local issues.

This event is not just a discussion - it's an opportunity to engage, ask questions, and contribute to the conversation about democracy in Ohio. Together, we can shape the future of our community and state. We look forward to seeing you there!
