Through public policy support, educational outreach, and community engagement, Confluence Ohio seeks to advocate for the renaming of Ohio’s capital.
Why Rename Columbus?
Own Our City
Renaming offers a chance for a fresh start, a rebrand that could lead to positive attention and renewed pride in our city. A new name can be a rallying point, inviting businesses, tourists, and residents to be part of a city that is proactively looking to its future.
Respect for Indigenous Peoples
The current name, Columbus, hearkens back to Christopher Columbus, a figure now widely recognized for his harmful actions towards indigenous communities. We believe in honoring the original inhabitants of this land by selecting a name that reflects unity and respect.
Forward Momentum
As our city grows and evolves, so too should its identity. Renaming presents an opportunity for us to define ourselves by our aspirations, rather than our history.
Community Unity
This isn’t just about a name—it’s about creating a city that truly represents all of its inhabitants. Let’s choose a name together that stands for unity, progress, and diversity.
