Across Ohio, parents are working hard and still feeling the squeeze. Families are dealing with soaring costs for childcare, groceries, and housing – and an unfair tax code, making it increasingly difficult for them to make ends meet. Governor DeWine has proposed solutions to provide tax relief and make childcare more affordable for working families through a new Ohio Child Tax Credit and investments in childcare. We are coming together to make sure children and families have the care and resources they need to thrive. We need to show lawmakers that Ohioans are paying attention—and we expect them to act.
Public media faces its most urgent threat yet.
Despite overwhelming public opposition, the House has passed a rescissions package that would eliminate $1.1 billion in already-approved funding for public media. If enacted, it would strip essential services from communities and could force rural stations off the air. The Senate will take up the bill next. Contact your Senators now and urge them to vote NO.
