Cincinnati Socialists and the people of Cincinnati stand in solidarity with the Black and immigrant populations in our city. We condemn Mayor Aftab Pureval for his unwillingness to stand up for immigrants of Cincinnati, despite the city’s status as a sanctuary city. We condemn his lack of seriousness in dealing with the local effects of the national upsurge in fascist bigotry, and we support the brave residents of Lincoln Heights.

As we approach the end of what is on track to be the hottest year ever recorded (a record that, without fail, continues to be broken with each successive year), this question seems to have crossed most peoples’ minds at some point or another over the last few months.
