The resolution introduced by Representative Brewer recognizes October 22, 2025, as the National Day Against Police Brutality in Ohio. This day has been observed in the United States since the mid-1990s as a time to protest and reflect on the impact of police brutality and the criminalization of communities. The resolution highlights the tragic loss of over 1,200 Ohioans to police brutality since 2000, emphasizing the grief experienced by families and communities affected by these incidents.
The resolution calls for a collective effort among Ohioans to honor the lives lost, listen to the families and survivors impacted by police violence, and recommit to creating safer and more just communities. It serves as a solemn occasion for prayer, reflection, and solidarity with those affected by police violence. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk of the House to transmit authenticated copies to the Governor and Ohio news media.
