This is why local elections are so important! DPD wants another almost 1/2 a million to expand police surveillance technologies in Dayton at a time when housing and food insecurities are rising along with sky rocketing inflation--at a time when SNAP and Medicaid are on the chopping block--when our children's transportation to school is having to be crowdsourced--when our local shelters are closing their doors to those in need citing capacity. We need our city leaders to get their priorities straight and stop writing blank checks to the police while their residents starve. Follow the slides to learn how to plug in and make your voice heard!

is watching you.

Fundraiser for the Turner-Sloss, Fairchild, Davis ticket for Dayton Commission

08/20/2025

UPDATED FUNDRAISING AMT:

Please pitch in to get DPS students bus passes!! Thanks to Commissioners Turner-Sloss & Fairchild and future Commissioner Davis for organizing this fundraiser!

You may have heard that the statehouse cut funding to buses and now DPS students are reliant on RTA to get to school leaving them to fend for themselves which has already had devastating consequences (https://www.wdtn.com/news/local-news/dayton-residents-students-call-for-action-after-shooting-death-of-dps-student/).

The least we can do is help students access bus passes! Any little bit helps and all funds will be used to purchase passes distributed directly to students in need.

Donate via the QR code on the flyer which takes you to this address: https://www.daytonfoundation.org/donate-credit-card

We believe everyone is capable of change! Please everyone learn their names and faces for community safety reasons as well and if you see someone from this article at a community event alert the organizers immediately.
