In the fight for democracy, silence is not an option. If we want to see real progress in Scioto County, and across Ohio, we need more than social media posts and quiet support.

“For those who come after.” These four words echo throughout Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the popular role-playing video game released this past April. At first glance, it’s a thrilling tale of a brave group on a quest to save their people; but deeper down it’s a meditation on legacy, collective responsibility, and hope for future generations. These very same values are at the heart of our democratic ideals.
