We can no longer stand promoting a genocidal sex trafficker and living in an area dedicated to his piracy. This movement seeks to change the name of Columbus, Ohio, to Arawak, Ohio for the people, Christopher Columbus, genocided, enslaved and child slave trafficked. Any funds beyond needed to change the name will be used to build community and increase discussion of the continuing caging of human beings for non violent conduct.
Change The Name: Introduction Video
You can change the name today. Ultimately having major places in the city and the general public recognize Arawak, Ohio as no longer a dedication to a monster may take a while and may take require a few different collective actions.
Columbus Child Sex Trafficker, who got sweet heart deal like Jeffery Epstein?
Wikipedia reports that Columbus was incarcerated for about six weeks for his tyranny. But soon got a sweet heart deal from the King of Spain and a new voyage for more tyranny.
Columbus, 1500
“A hundred castellanoes are as easily obtained for a woman as for a farm, and it is very general and there are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten are now in demand.”
Columbus, 1493
“Their Highnesses may see that I shall give them as much gold as they may need, with very little aid which their Highnesses will give me; spices and cotton at once, as much as their Highnesses will order to be shipped, and as much as they shall order to be shipped of mastic… and aloe-wood as much as they shall order to be shipped; and slaves as many as they shall order to be shipped. It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
Barrtolemé de las Casas, 1542
"There are two main ways in which those who have travelled to this part of the world pretending to be Christians have uprooted these pitiful peoples and wiped them from the face of the earth. First, they have waged war on them: unjust, cruel, bloody and tyrannical war. Second, they have murdered anyone and everyone who has shown the slightest sign of resistance, or even of wishing to escape the torment to which they have subjected him."
Major Launch Sept 1
Gald to be here on steem. Hoping to generate funds and find local and nonlocal volunteers to help change the name from that of a pirate. Thinking about maybe an SMT or other ways to use steem to change the world in Arawak, Ohio. Feel free to delegate, or help in other ways.

That's an interesting initiative and I learned a few new things, not necessarily surprising things but I hadn't quite thought a lot about the parallels between modern human trafficking and historical human trafficking. There's definitely some strong similarities and it some ways not much has changed! Sadly and unfortunately... I was just reading an article the other day about how much of a problem human males being trafficked is and how it's so underreported in comparison to females cause oftentimes men won't report and don't want to be seen as a victim, but that there's a significant problem there that not many people really know much about.
Anyways.. I support your initiative and I agree with it. Sadly I kind of doubt you will succeed because I get the impression most people don't like change and aren't really very ashamed of our history or even what happens in modern times for that matter... Just not enough people really care in general and that's a big problem in my opinion... I think some of these people would possibly even be more offended by wanting to change the name of an established city than human trafficking itself which is bizarre to think about, but so many people are so adverse to change and so comfortable with the status quo that they seem content to do nothing while atrocity happens and then get upset when people actually try to point it out and make a positive difference in the world.
So... I hope I'm wrong and that your initiative suceeds! Though I think you have a steep uphill battle ahead of you... Good luck my friend! I wish you well in your efforts.
PS I'm filling out the Google Form URL petition thing now.
