A civic network in Ohio
Ohio Watchmen for Liberation
Organizing for dignity, democracy, and collective liberation
Our Focus Areas
Mutual Aid and Community Defense
We strengthen neighborhoods by supporting vulnerable residents, coordinating resources, and building protective networks.
Research and Public Accountability
We monitor institutional abuses, document threats to civil liberties, and make information accessible to the public.
Civic and Legal Engagement
We educate residents about their rights, advocate for fair policies, and support local action to strengthen democracy.
Why We Exist
Communities are under pressure from rising authoritarianism, exploitative systems, and inequitable policies. OWL exists to provide organized, principled, and sustainable civic support — helping neighbors defend themselves, stay informed, and work together for the long-term good.
