JOIN WORKERS AND COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS IN CINCINNATI AND COLUMBUS THIS FRIDAY!

Columbus this Friday to demand justice for home health care and child care
workers and call for a balanced approach to the budget. The day begins with
the One Ohio Now rally at 2PM in Columbus and concludes at 6:15PM in Cincinnati
with a candlelight gathering to support home health care and child care
workers. See below for more details on each event.

RALLY FOR A BALANCED APPROACH TO THE BUDGET IN COLUMBUS

One Ohio Now campaign will hold a campaign kick-off rally in Columbus at 2PM on
the Westside of the Statehouse (One Capitol Square).

About One Ohio Now: One Ohio Now is a state budget coalition of over 27
organizations ranging from neighborhood health services, local government
groups, education and school board groups, and Ohio working families. Coalition
members have been studying the budget shortfall and organizing common sense
solutions over the past year as advocates seek balanced approach at achieving
revenue needs to create a prosperous jobs and family economy in Ohio. In light
of the state's projected $8 billion budget shortfall, One Ohio Now - one of
Ohio's most diverse budget coalitions - has put together this comprehensive
presentation that outlines our principles and provides a basic balanced
approach to solving Ohio's budget woes.

SUPPORT HOME CARE AND CHILD CARE WORKERS IN CINCINNATI

Home health care and child care workers, union and community leaders,
unemployed workers and union members will hold a candlelight gathering at
6:15PM at the Cincinnati City Hall (810 Plum Street).

On the eve of Dr. King's birthday and nearly 43 years after his assassination,
Ohio Gov John Kasich has announced plans to take the freedom to join together
and bargain for a better life away from our state's home care and child care
workers -- hard-working Ohioan’s who, like those Memphis sanitation workers
-- desperately need the right to seek a better life. The event will demand
Ohio Governor John Kasich not strip away home health care and child care
workers’ rights to bargain collectively for a better life. Workers will
share their concerns about Gov. Kasich and his allies’ attempts to blame and
punish low-income workers for the state of the economy.
