Stop the Mandate Protest in Dover, OH | November 19, 2021
A protest was held today outside a local hospital to display support for our fellow citizens amidst the vaccine mandates for workplace employees and healthcare workers. While the OSHA mandate has been stopped by federal court, the CMS mandate for healthcare workers is still moving forward.
We believe in two simple things:
1. Medical freedom for every individual
2. The United States Constitution and Bill of Rights
This was NOT a vaccine protest; this protest was against the mandates. Every person should have the Right to make their own individual medical decisions. We support ALL members of our community in their medical decisions. Together, through love and support for one another, we can keep our community strong.
If these mandates are allowed to continue, many local businesses and healthcare facilities will be negatively impacted by severe staff shortages. Some may even be forced to close. We stand for the Rights of the hard-working citizens of our community.

Project Hope Kicks Off On Saturday, August 21 at Music on the Square
Beginning August 21st, Tuscarawas County residents will begin seeing silhouettes placed across nine communities in the county. Each community will display:
• One black silhouette – representing deaths in the county
• One gray silhouette – representing overdoses per city (that did not result in death)
• One yellow silhouette – representing “There is Always Hope”
• Yard sign promoting the New Tuscarawas County Hope Line (330) 663-6812
The silhouettes, 30 across the county, will be placed in highly visible areas. Yard signs will accompany the silhouettes featuring the New Tuscarawas County Hope Line number (330) 663-6812. This is a one call, one person, no redirect number. Rachel, the access navigator, will answer the phone or call you back to help you access the most appropriate substance use and addiction treatment services. She can also provide support and resource information to families or loved ones who have a person struggling with substance use or addiction in their life.
Participating communities include Bolivar, Dover, Mineral City, Newcomerstown, New Philadelphia, Port Washington, Strasburg, Sugarcreek, Tuscarawas, and the Twin City area (Dennison/Uhrichsville).
This effort is in response to an all-time record high in overdose deaths in 2020. March of 2021 recorded an all-time one-month record high of overdose deaths in the county. The Tuscarawas County Anti-Drug Coalition and Addiction Task Force would like to raise awareness that there is help and there is hope for persons who struggle with substance use and addiction. This initiative is to help community members better understand addiction and to help persons struggling know that help is available.
“We want to create clear visibility that there are services that can help and that there is always hope,” said Jodi Salvo, Coordinator of the Tuscarawas County Anti-Drug Coalition. “We want to continue to encourage our community to seek and share resources and to realize the impo
Hope Sunday is August 29, 2021
The Tuscarawas County Anti-Drug Coalition invites churches to participate in the fourth annual HOPE Sunday.
The Tuscarawas County Anti-Drug Coalition is partnering again with more local churches across denominations to bring hope to communities impacted by issues around mental health and drug addiction.
On Sunday, August 29, all Tuscarawas and Carroll County churches are invited to participate in Hope Sunday. It is an opportunity to create awareness around areas of concern in our local communities, and an opportunity to acknowledge the vital role that local churches and community members can play in bringing hope and light to those hurting and struggling.
As part of the countywide event, The Ezekiel Project has created a new short film called In One-A-Chord. This film will encourage churches across communities to better understand the difficult issues a person might face and to reach out as a beacon of hope and light in our communities.
Participating churches will receive a 4-minute video and are asked to share it with their congregations. Churches will be provided a brief script that can be used before or after the video, along with bulletin inserts that include prayer requests around addiction and information on local resources. Churches will be given all the resources needed to share the event.
Last year’s event included participation from 100 churches across Tuscarawas and Carroll Counties. This year we hope to mobilize this effort even further. “We want to share a resonating message with the community that acknowledges that, while life can be hard, each and every person has extreme, unwavering value and purpose,” explained Jodi Salvo, Coordinator of the Tuscarawas County Anti-Drug Coalition. “We want each and every person in our county to know there is help and hope when facing substance use addiction and that our community churches are a place where persons can go to find love and support.”
Churches interested in participating are encourag
