Here’s a quick recap from last week, and what’s coming up!

We were proud to take part in a community-led conversation over a shared meal. The evening was filled with honest dialogue, laughter, and the kind of connection that only happens when you’re sitting across the table from your neighbors. We’re grateful to everyone who made space for the conversation and shared their stories. These gatherings are a reminder that change starts with community, and community is built one meal at a time.

Last weekend, a supporter hosted Columbus Stand Up’s first house party! We’re so thankful to everyone who showed up, donated, and helped create a joyful, energizing space.

Grassroots support fuels everything we do. If you’d like to help us keep up the momentum, click the button below to contribute.

If you're passionate about education, justice, or building power in our communities — this is the conversation for you.

Columbus Stand Up! runs on community power—people like you stepping up for justice and each other. We’ve got a busy summer and fall ahead, and we’re calling on volunteers to help with voter outreach, event support, and community tabling.

No experience? No problem. If you care about making a difference and want to be part of the movement, we’ll get you trained and ready to go.

Let us know if you're interested—we’d love to have you on the team!
