Ohioans already struggle to make ends meet, and our health outcomes are among the nation's worst (dying younger while leading less healthy lives).

Kicking 700,000 off Medicaid would be a disaster for Ohio families, and the entire state.

We will all pay more in health care costs.

Good: CDC’s outbreak publication (MMWR) is now up and running after the first pause in over 70 years

Bad: Todays publication is about fires, and not the missing bird flu or mpox studies we knew were up for publication. Of which have safety implications for veterinarians and people with house cats

Hey #Booksky if you’re in the US and looking to step away from the zon for physical books can I highly recommend Thrift Books?

They donate and partner with non-profits to support school libraries in underserved areas, and prison libraries. Plus, the book prices are *very good*

In a truly striking turn of events, an anti-LGBTQ+ Republican official brazenly offered a rural Ohio school board a $10K donation in support of their leaving the Ohio School Board Association due to OSBA's opposition to the Parents' Bill of Rights.

Hey y'all!

We are living on stolen and occupied land.

We served 50+ meals, 120+lbs of pet food, 100+ drinks, hygiene, first aid, menstrual products, clothing, propane, tents and sleeping bags, narcan, harm reduction and more!

We couldn't do this without support from the community.❣️ Y'all rock.
Image depicts a row of long white tables. There are people standing behind the table. A person in a black jacket and blue face mask is standing right next to the table with their arm on the table, and the table has two cases of ramen noodles stacked on top of each other and tuna cans on the table along with some granola bars that are in red packages. The tuna cans are stacked on top of each other and there are four stands in the image. There is also small plastic bags of dog food further down the table with a large red bag of dog food and a small bag of dog food sitting next to the small plastic bags. There is a resident standing in front of the tables further down the image holding up a piece of clothing. Image depicts a white table with hygiene and menstrual products on it. There are two bottles of vitamins at the front right of the table, two boxes of bandaids next to that with one box being blue and the other being purple, next to a small green basket with brightly colored yellow toothbrushes in them. There is also clear bags with shaving cream, next to a clear basket with shampoo and conditioner inside of it. The table looks chaotically organized.

please help prevent Community Shelter Board from kicking 174 people out of hotels in the middle of winter.

more info from the @heertoserve.bsky.social IG:
Heer to Serve post on instagram. A graphic with a pink background and three raised fists in black and white. Text reads: FIGHT FOR THE UNHOUSED URGENT CALL TO ACTION Protest the Community Shelter Board's eviction and mistreatment of unhoused folks JAN 31st, 2025 | 8AM Lincoln Theatre Heer to Serve post on instagram. A graphic with a pink background and three raised fists in black and white. Text reads: UNABLE TO MAKE IT? Let the Community Shelter Board know your thoughts: Steve Skovensky Chief Program Effectiveness Officer sskovensky@csb.org Shannon Isom President/CEO aking@csb.org Adam Rowan Chief Compliance and Operations Officer arowan@csb.org from heertoserve on IG: Hey y'all! We have an URGENT NEED for an action TOMORROW! JANUARY 31ST at 8am at the Lincoln Theatre. 769 e long st Columbus Ohio. During the past 8 weeks over 150 unhoused residents were able to get into hotel rooms after city planned and coordinated camp sweeps along with subzero temperatures that made it even more dangerous to be outside. Now, the Community Shelter Board is set to forcibly evict 174 formerly unhoused residents of their hotel programs at the Loyalty Inn, Columbus Grand, and Budgetel on February 1st and February 5th. Many of these residents were promised a hotel room until March after their camps were demolished by the city. The Community Shelter Board communicated this to residents on January 29th, giving them only three days to pack up all of their belongings and find a new place to call home, even during these current cold winter months. WHERE IS THE HOUSING? The Columbus promise of everybody deserves safe housing is not one that is being kept! Join us at their "pathway to progress" event to protest the forcible eviction and mistreatment of unhoused folks at the Lincoln Theatre at 8am this Friday, January 31st. The Community Shelter Board must take accountability for the unhoused people they are putting at risk and the trauma our neighbors are enduring. Not able to make it? Please make your voice heard by emailing those listed in the second slide. #housingisahumanright #housingnow #nowarbutclasswar
