The Ohio Advocate

In this week's episode, Matt and Justin give an update on Ohio Republicans' effort to take power away from the people and make it harder to amend the Ohio Constitution. Then they take a deep dive into the newly released 2023 budget for the state of Ohio, discussing the new tax brackets, some major projects that are getting funding, and a slew of tax breaks that are going to wealthy people and large corporations.
For our feature this week, we take a listen to speeches given by leaders in the movement to get justice for Jayland Walker, who was murdered by the Akron police department back in June of last year. With the recent announcement of the grand jury's decision to not charge the eight officers who fired nearly 100 rounds at Jayland, there is renewed vigor in the Justice for Jayland movement. As a warning to our listeners, some of these speeches include detailed accounts of police violence.
