#2 here. It would be nice to leave but I feel like I need to stay and fight.

That’s ok. I’m proud of those of you who are doing that. I’m leaving, I’ve spent a long time working out of my martyr complex and my wife and I have decided to flee.

I think the biggest thing we can do here as a community is respect each other’s choices and try to figure out what we can do to help most from the position we take.

I want to make sure our history isn’t lost. I want to make sure that if we need voices advocating for us somewhere people will listen that I can be one. And I want to make clear that until I feel safe returning home that I am an Ohioan in exile, and that that means things aren’t ok over there.

Fight well and know that some of those of us who are fleeing are setting up networks to get y’all out if you need it.
