"At the end of the day, what it's about is making sure that when folks are in crises, they have the appropriate response when they need it." 🚨

Issue 5 is supported by a BROAD coalition, with support from city government leaders to social workers, from academics to impacted families, from the police union to the ACLU. Vote YES on Issue 5. 📣

Columbus already puts about $7 million towards emergency response alternatives. Issue 5 in Columbus would create an overarching office and expand those efforts.
