‘Rally Around Ohio’, on Saturday, May 9, was a HUGE success because Ohioans from all walks of life came together to let our state leaders know it is time to ‘Free Ohio Now’ from the Stay at Home order!
- Over 2,500 protesters around the state came out on a very cold day and ‘Rally Around Ohio’ made Ohio history as the first event to have 34 active county protests conducted simultaneously!
- Conservative estimates made after the event show ‘Rally Around Ohio’ made over 1 Million impressions on Ohioans throughout the state between direct participation, people driving by the Rallies and through media coverage.
- Many Ohioans, some for the first time, saw their friends, neighbors and fellow citizens peacefully making the case that it is time to push back on government overreach, to protect our Constitutional liberties, and to get our economy back on its feet!
- See video and news reports from last Saturday on the @FreeOhioNow Facebook page.
‘Free Ohio Now’ sends our sincere THANKS and GRATITUDE to the county rally leaders and to all who came to defend their rights and make ‘Rally Around Ohio’ a resounding success!

THEME: STOP THE MANIPULATION AND SCARE TACTICS
The media and government officials have made too many people afraid with over-the-top, worst-case scenario reporting and catastrophizing events by not putting them in proper perspective. Although the Coronavirus is real and there are at-risk populations which need to take precautions, antibody studies are showing most who get the virus are asymptomatic. We need to push back against this distorted reporting by showing everyone we are not afraid of BEING IN PUBLIC and that it is MORE AMERICAN TO BE FEARLESS than afraid! Come protest with us on SATURDAY, MAY 16!
