🚨 Sanctuary Cincy Petition
Cincinnati is a city built on the strength of its diverse communities. We cannot stand idly by as our neighbors are targeted by harmful federal policies that seek to divide us and strip away the rights of the most vulnerable among us. While some leaders have made statements of support, their actions have been too slow and insufficient to address the urgent threats facing our communities. Every day of delay puts lives at risk. We call on our local leaders to take a stand and ensure that Cincinnati remains a safe and welcoming place for all.
By signing this petition, we are sending a clear message to Mayor Aftab Pureval, the Cincinnati City Council, and Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey: We demand immediate action to protect our immigrant and transgender communities, and we will hold our leaders accountable for upholding the values of justice, equality, and inclusion.
Note: This petition is only the first step to hold our leaders accountable. If they do not listen, we will use everything in our power to exert pressure until they do what is right. If you can contribute to this effort, join DSA.

The Covington Police Department (CPD) arrived in force and violently broke up the protest, dramatically escalating what had been a peaceful protest into a police attack on protesters.

On the evening of June 24th, Zohran Mamdani’s campaign shocked the world, in a surprise first round victory that caused the establishment favorite, Andrew Cuomo, to concede the race. As Zohran Mamdani took the microphone, nearly an hour after Cuomo’s concession, he spoke of his monumental walk across Manhattan, describing the workers he saw across the island still hard at work running the city that never sleeps. One of the most profoundly working class speeches the US has ever seen a political candidate given. In this late evening hour, Zohran’s victory seemed to have always been an inevitable certainty.
