Rally at Green's former MAGA Sign*
2025-11-05 16:30 - 17:30 | Harmony Springs Church, 3891 S. Arlington Road, Uniontown, OH, 44685, United States
About this event
Join Green Isn’t Red for a rally at the site of Green’s former MAGA sign. As of Nov. 4, the sign was changed to a Toth Buick/GMC ad.
A peaceful protest against that sign that makes those of us who live in the south part of Summit County cringe and curse every time we drive by.
Here are the details: The sign is on private property, but the group will gather on the public sidewalk in front of the sign. Parking is tricky: Park at Harmony Springs Church, 3891 S. Arlington Road, Uniontown. There will be drivers safely shuttling participants to and from the site.
(The sign is located on South Arlington Road, on the east side of the road, south of 619.)
Could you park and walk? It’s not recommended, because the sidewalk is not complete from the church’s parking lot to the site.
Is it accessible to people with mobility issues? No. If you use an assistive device to move, this may not be the event for you. GOOD NEWS: Drive by with your signs, honk and wave and support the peaceful protesters!
This event is being organized by Green Isn’t Red, a grassroots group of community members who are coming together in the Green, Clinton, New Franklin and Uniontown area. They are a nonpartisan group that wants to protect democracy, build community, and oppose authoritarianism.
Signing up for this event will also put you on their contact list so you can find out about other upcoming events.

NO KINGS Downtown Akron
2025-10-18 13:00 - 15:00 | South Main Street & East Market Street, Akron, OH, 44309, United States
In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.
No Kings Akron will take place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in downtown Akron, in front of the John F. Seiberling Federal Courthouse, 2 S. Main Street. It is presented by Indivisible Akron in collaboration with Akron Democracy Defenders and Summit County Progressive Democrats.
Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.
The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.
A core principle behind all No Kings 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 and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT

Indivisible Akron Book Club | 'The Sum of Us'
2025-10-08 18:00 - 19:30 | Highland Square Library, 806 W. Market St., Akron, 44303, United States
This month we’re reading “The Sum of Us” by Heather McGhee.
The Indivisible Akron book club has chosen “The Sum of Us” by Heather McGhee.
The short description: “Racism has a cost for everyone — not just for people of color.”
The longer description, from Bookshop.org: “Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis of 2008 to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a root problem: racism in our politics and policymaking. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all. But how did this happen? And is there a way out?”

Vital Pages emphasizes the importance of protecting public libraries to keep the people informed, and the way they have always shown up for their local communities. It also highlights those who are actively fighting to keep the ability to read as an intrinsic right as they spread awareness.

This short documentary made by Kent State student James Plested explores recent and ongoing threats towards public libraries. Join us on September 25th for a free showing followed by a Q&A and discussion. No RSVP needed, just show up!
