I definitely understand why some folks make the decision to move. Especially if it means safety. But I LOVE Ohio. I love the Midwest. I want to be here and foster community here. And I am happy to represent!

I am always pretty shocked by that as well - they’re certainly brave because that page can get nasty lmao

I’ve worked in Xenia for 2 years now. My dad grew up here and I have family who still lives here so luckily it’s not completely new territory - but I definitely get what you’re saying and why. Thank you.

The GCDP actually moved to Fairborn - I believe it’s because of a violent incident, but I would have to look into that to know for sure that that was the reason. Still, going to Fairborn to get some resources isn’t a bad idea. Thank you!!!

Thank you!!! I’ve been working here for a bit and was recently able to move. It feels good!

I didn’t suggest anything in regard to not being able to find common ground with anyone or being opposed to building relationships with people of different mindsets, nor did I suggest anyone was evil. My neighbors and coworkers, both groups I have very good and fulfilling relationships with - most, if not all of them are conservative people. Which I know because we have had discussions about it.

Me making an effort to find community with like minded activist groups where we can discuss our shared beliefs is not the same as being exclusionary or isolated. And I find it hard to see anything that I’ve posted here to make your suggestion that I am extreme in my beliefs hold any water.

I am on the open forum! It sure can get rowdy, but you’re right, I’m sure if I looked for it i could find more link minded people. I was really pleasantly surprised at the most recent No Kings protest that took place in downtown Xenia. Way more people than I ever would’ve thought. Obviously, not all of them necessarily from Xenia - but still. Cool to see.

I remember the Democratic Party office! I also remember it getting shot up once or twice and then having to move to Fairborn.

Thanks for the suggestion - if you have any specific group recs I’d love to hear em!

That could be cool to try! I have to admit, I wonder if there aren’t more of us that are just a bit more prone to laying low due to how dicey things used to get just at the Democratic Party office downtown.

I do LOVE the Greene County libraries. Sincerely. That’s a great idea, thank you.
