Race and Racism in Cincinnati, a 3-part docuseries, is the telling of Cincinnati’s history from the racial margins, a history that is not often told in school curriculums or in mainstream (white) culture.

This series features three separate hour-long videos that each tackle a different time span, starting from Cincinnati’s birth and bringing us to the present day. Each viewing will be followed by a discussion session. Register here.

The billionaires continue to wage a cruel war on working people, with their cronies in the administration, ICE and law enforcement backing up their attacks. This Labor Day we will continue to stand strong, fighting for public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, shared prosperity over corporate politics.

Working people built this nation and we know how to take care of each other. We won’t back down—we will never stop fighting for our families and the rights and freedoms that ensure access to opportunity and a better life for all Americans. The billionaire's time is up.

On September 1st we will continue the movement we launched together on May 1st, standing in solidarity with all our communities under attack and fighting for real wins for all our people.

In thousands of communities around the country we encourage you to take a stand with us on Labor Day. On the streets, outside the offices of the corporate criminals who are behind the attacks on our freedoms and at congressional offices. Together we will demand a world that works for all of us.

OUR DEMANDS TO BUILD THE SOCIETY WE ALL DESERVE:

1. Stop the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration.

2. Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people.

3. Fully funded schools, and healthcare and housing for all.

4. Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, indigenous, trans people, and all our communities.

5. Invest in people not wars.

Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

Join us at the corner of Cox and Tylersville Roads on Labor Day (September 1, 2025) from 12-2. We will gather starting at the corner of Cox and Tylersville in front of Another Broken Egg Cafe. Once that corner fills up, we'll start to spread out. We hope to line Tylersville Road all the way to Mason Middle School! Feel free to park either at Cox and Tylersville, or closer to the end by Mason Middle School.

Labor and community are planning more than a barbecue on Labor Day this year because we have to stop the billionaire takeover. Billionaires are converting the government into their private slush fund and just passed the largest wealth giveaway in the history of the US. The money they take from working families, they put in billionaires’ pockets and set aside to fund a private army of ICE agents.

Just like any bad boss, the way we stop the takeover is with collective action. We are working people rising up to stop the billionaire takeover–not just through the ballot box or the courts, but through building a bigger and stronger movement. We are growing our movement and fighting for a country that is more fair, just, equitable, and free for all of us—and not just a chosen few.

On September 1st we will continue the movement we launched together on May 1st, standing in solidarity with all our communities under attack and fighting for real wins for all our people.

Thousands of communities across the country are taking a stand on Labor Day, join us! We will be in the streets, outside the offices of the corporate criminals who are behind the attacks on our freedoms, and at congressional offices. Together we will demand a country that puts workers over billionaires.

OUR DEMANDS TO BUILD THE SOCIETY WE ALL DESERVE:

1. Stop the billionaire takeover corrupting our government.

2. Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people.

3. Fully funded schools, and healthcare and housing for all.

4. Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, indigenous, trans people, and all our communities.

5. Invest in people not wars.

Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action, but through sustained organizing in our communities.

That’s why this summer, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead.

Coffee. Compassion. Action is hosting Ohio Townhalls. Ohio Townhalls will give you a chance to: 1) hear Ohioans speak about their personal experiences with executive overreach at the state and local level, 2) listen to political leaders or local organizers discuss ways to fight current executive overreach affecting Ohio's Working Families, and 3) provide you with opportunities to advocate for yourself/family and/or for marginalized people in Cincinnati and the surrounding Tristate areas.

Join us August 12, for the first of a series of town halls: the Ohio Townhalls. These town halls will include speakers who will inspire and inform you about local and national politics affecting you now or in the near future. Want to volunteer or get involved, but just don't know how? Ohio Townhalls will show you how to make a difference in your local community and give you several clear paths to advocacy, volunteering or steer you into a local organization where you can get active.
