This campaign has always been a community-driven, grassroots effort and voters took action, used their power, and engaged with the democratic process to get Issue 5 over the finish line.
Thank you to ALL Columbus residents who voted YES on 5. 💜

🎉ISSUE 5 SAILING TO VICTORY! The people of Columbus have spoken – we are ready to reimagine public safety and prioritize appropriate care for our neighbors in need.

People experiencing behavioral health crises are in urgent need of compassion and support - to keep them safe and to plan for their ongoing wellbeing. By sending trained responders with lived experience, we can ensure people get the help they need.

Issue 5 will improve outcomes for people experiencing a behavioral health crisis by providing the appropriate community care response. Police should not be asked to be social workers or counselors; not every situation requires a badge and a gun.

Throwback to a few weeks ago when we reached a historic agreement with Columbus elected officials to officially place an alternative-crisis response proposal on the May ballot!
Vote YES on Issue 5 by May 5!

We made history last night!
Our non-police crisis response plan is common-sense, popular, grounded in research, and driven by impacted families.
We are grateful to Columbus City leaders for sharing our vision for public safety and community care.
It may seem like ICE can do whatever they want without any consequences. But there is one group of people who have the power to hold ICE accountable: victims of their abuse.
Federal Tort Claims Act cases offer a vital legal pathway to claim justice, and were training lawyers to file them.
Today's filing is a demonstration of overwhelming support for an alternative-police response program to meet the mental health and safety needs of community members in crisis.

📣BREAKING: We submitted our petitions to place The Community Crisis Response Amendment on the May 2026 primary election ballot.
All Columbus residents deserve to feel safe when asking for help. 🧵
Border Patrol agents are trained extremely well to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and innocent third parties. When a supposed “peaceful” protester brings a weapon (such as a loaded handgun) and brandishes it, there are going to severe consequences and repercussions. We have pleaded with and warned the media and the politicians that their irresponsible, hate-filled and false rhetoric is going to get people unnecessarily hurt, or worse, killed when they portray our agents and officers as the aggressors. They have encouraged these reckless confrontations and attacks on our agents and officers who are performing their lawful duties and enforcing the laws that Congress has put on the books. The fake and dishonest media and the shameless politicians should be held accountable for willfully misleading the public and enticing these protesters and agitators. We have full confidence that when more facts are revealed, our agents and officers will be shown to have utilized justifiable force in eliminating the threat.
Join Common Cause Ohio, Indivisible Central Ohio, Ohioans Against Extremism, Ohio Families Unite for Political Action and Change (OFUPAC), SEIU District 1199 WV/KY/OH, and other allies and community members at the Ohio Statehouse on Friday at 1pm.

🗣️ Legislation requiring drug & alcohol testing after an officer's use of force now has an official #: HB 548
✅ This is a critical step forward, but lawmakers need to know their constituents take safety seriously.
