Smiles Before the Fall
This is tough. No sugar coating it. There’s a lot of justified powerful emotion out there right now. But let’s hold on to the positive – each other! We’re in this together, and that’s good. Despite this heartbreaking outcome, we must remember and celebrate all the amazing work Indivisible Central Ohio volunteers have done this past year – registering voters, writing letters and postcards, collecting signatures for Issue 1, advocating with our elected officials, and so much more. Thank you to everyone for caring, and taking action! We need each other and our positive energy now more than ever.
