The Ohio Co-Conspirators in Ending Oppression (CIEO) is a subcommittee of the Statewide Anti-Oppression Committee, comprised of individuals working in various survivor/victim services capacities in Ohio’s five regions. As beneficiaries of white privilege, members strive to honor our responsibility to dismantle racism and intersecting forms of oppression. It is on us, not Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), to actively work against white supremacy.

Join us for our upcoming 2023 Monthly Working Meetings where we will continue working towards our 2023 goals and objectives.

Please note, these meetings are for Working Group or Core Members only. To learn more about becoming a working group member, visit www.oaesv.org.cieo

As the days of February pass and Black History month of 2023 becomes another part of our history, we must still remember to do, attend, and read in support of anti-oppressive practices. As the days pass we have entered into March, which brings Women's History Month and Disability Awareness month. As April approaches we know Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention month is on the horizon. None of these efforts can stop with a single month, none of these efforts can be isolated. Anti-oppression work must truly permeate throughout all our work, in order to truly confront and end the oppressive and deadly actions that continue to be perpetuated. It is within each of our daily power to contribute to the practices in some way.
