As we prepare for a second Trump presidency, we understand how unsafe so many are feeling right now.
But regardless of immigration status, everyone has basic rights that are protected by the U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws.

Yesterday's SCOTUS ruling means hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrant community members will lose their ability to live and work legally in the U.S. In Ohio, Haitians are part of the fabric of Springfield.

This legislation was an unfounded and unnecessary attack on absentee voting, brazenly rushed through the Ohio General Assembly at the 11th hour. We are very relieved that Governor DeWine vetoed HB 472.

In an unconscionable decision, the Supreme Court has ignored the clear evidence that the Trump administration's actions were arbitrary and racist.
We stand with Springfield and all Haitians who call Ohio home.

We applaud @GovMikeDeWine for vetoing House Bill 472, legislation that was "all burden, no benefit."
As our Advocacy Director @cmarozzi1 said, our existing vote-by-mail system is secure and fair.
This is a devastating decision from SCOTUS, ruling in favor of Trump's inhumane mass deportation agenda. Temporary Protected Status represents more than protection. It represents the ability of families to stay together.
We stand with the Haitian community in Springfield, OH and beyond.

📢We commend Governor DeWine’s decision to veto House Bill 472, taking bold action to protect our state’s mail-in ballot process and Ohioans’ right to privacy.
The ACLU of Ohio will always have a watchful eye on those who attempt to threaten our sacred right to vote.

We are grateful that the village of Chauncey kept it's ordinance to protect LGBTQ+ residents from discrimination.

Four years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned our federal constitutional right to abortion.
Two and a half years ago, in November 2023, we enshrined the Reproductive Freedom Amendment into the Ohio Constitution.
ICYMI from the Columbus Dispatch's editorial board: DeWine must veto Ohio’s latest brazen attack on voting rights - "a ridiculous and cumbersome requirement that would do nothing to stop fraud."

🗣️Aside from the fact that HB 472 will exclude voters who rely on mail voting to participate in our democracy, the most dangerous unintended consequence of this bill is the likely spike in scams and identity theft.
Gov. DeWine must veto TODAY. ‼️

The future of Haitians living in Ohio with temporary protected status hangs in the balance of a United States Supreme Court decision that could come as soon as this week or next.
We stand with our Haitian neighbors in Springfield and across the state.

Last week, Cleveland’s Public Safety Committee voted to reject a one-year renewal of the city’s Flock Safety camera contract. 👏 Another vote is still possible before the end of the month.
Surveillance does not equal safety.

📢URGENT: @GovMikeDeWine has 1 more day to veto HB 472.
Make no mistake – this bill would forever change the landscape of vote-by-mail, and will leave all Ohioans vulnerable to identify theft.
📲Take Action: https://t.co/38k2wMC24q
🗣️Good news: Last week, a @CleCityCouncil Committee voted not to extend the city’s contract with Flock. A full council vote could still occur, but nothing has been scheduled.
The current contract is set to expire June 29. Keep up the pressure! ⬇️

🚨🗳️Governor DeWine must save vote-by-mail and veto House Bill 472. He has until Wednesday to either sign or veto this anti-voter legislation. HB 472 puts all of us at risk and leaves Ohioans vulnerable to identity theft.
Take action: https://t.co/LfvtCEv4p3
Governor DeWine has acknowledged deep concerns about Ohio’s capital punishment system and wants the legislature to abolish the death penalty. Broad commutations would be a continuation of that careful, principled leadership, not a departure from it.

Two months after the end of the Civil War, Union troops went to Galveston Bay, Texas, on June 19, 1865, to free 250,000+ enslaved people and enforce the Emancipation Proclamation.
Juneteenth honors the freedom of enslaved Black people in Texas and recognizes the vital work we must do to preserve Black liberation.
