During the past two years, the Ohio Legislature has introduced law after law restricting abortion or reproductive health, with the most recent being the “telehealth ban” and the “fetal tissue” bill. Meanwhile, our communities are reeling from COVID-19, unemployment, police brutality, Black infant and maternal mortality, and institutional racism throughout every system. We know that the extremist-controlled Ohio Legislature isn’t working for the people.

Saturday, April 17, 10-11:15am, this on-line event requires advance registration
The 2020 First Energy scandal was unprecedented in scale, yet the big money involved symbolizes the consistency in which the wealthy corporate entities shape public policies, preempt local control, and prevent Ohioans from having our voices heard and our needs met.
It doesn’t have to be this way, and it shouldn’t be this way. Hear from strong pro-democracy state legislators and friends and supporters of Move to Amend about efforts to fight corruption in Ohio.
