Town Hall Discussion — hosted by CUL, ENC & Urban One Columbus
Your Columbus Urban League joined forces with the Equity Now Coalition and Urban One Columbus for a special town hall discussion on Sept. 3. Recent shootings across the city call us to come together and heal, rebuild trust and ultimately address the need for change in our community.
The forum was broadcast live on Power 107.5FM/106.3FM and Magic 95.5FM and included various elected officials, city and religious leaders, mental health experts and more, led by Stephanie Hightower, Jerry Saunders and DJ Nailz.
