House Bill 259 (H.B. 259), one of two bipartisan bills to end Ohio's death penalty, will have its first of four expected committee hearings in the house this week. Every time we have a hearing on our bill, it demonstrates that there is legislative momentum behind ending the death penalty. Each hearing we have is a step closer to a vote. Ohioans to Stop Executions is asking us to come to the Statehouse, in person, to be present for H.B. 259's first hearing.
Our organization's team will work with folks in the major metropolitan areas of Ohio to organize carpools and transportation, as needed. If you can attend the hearing, please add your information here.
