Introducing our new six-part video series: Know Your Rights: Rights versus Reality. This video series seeks to engage viewers in conversation surrounding the realities that Ohioans, particularly People of Color, can often experience when exercising their constitutionally protected rights with law enforcement.
The dynamic discussions and honest reflections are meant to inform and empower Ohioans about being stopped by the police, being arrested, protesting, law enforcement at your home., and what “The Talk” means to Black and Brown families in America.
