So, are these maps even constitutional as 4 year maps since they didn't vote by midnight? #ohiostatehouse #redistricting

Biden's immigration reform legislation is quite popular, according to new polling by Politico/Morning Consult.

60% of registered voters strongly or somewhat support an 8-year path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, compared with 24% opposition.

Senator Schaffer wants to focus on fraud, and is willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater by making it harder for all Ohioans to access basic food assistance.

@WarrenDavidson With the low enrollment rates in schools this year across ohio, it is going to take many years to get kids caught back up.

[Hunger Network in Ohio @HungerOhio]

We will be testifying today to stop more hurdles for families struggling to make ends meet. #ohioansagainstsb17

[COHHIO Homeless @COHHIO]

Eviction & homelessness affect nearly 200k Ohioans/year. Important documents get lost during these traumatic experiences. SB17 would require struggling Ohioans to produce documents that they often don’t have in order to get life-sustaining food and healthcare.

We’re calling on Ohio’s leaders to be sensible & sound in policymaking. SB 17:

👎 Costs Ohio $$$

👎 Harms low-wage workers

👎 Discourages saving

👎 Increases hardship

@GovMikeDewine & @OhioSenateGOP – stop this bill. #OhioCanDoBetter #OhioansAgainstSB17

[Hunger Network in Ohio @HungerOhio]

Faith leaders are limited in what we can do to help our neighbors. We need leaders like @Rob_McColley to stop legislation that will make it harder for us to serve our communities & make sure all have their daily bread. #OhioansAgainstSB17

[Hunger Network in Ohio @HungerOhio]

SB 17 would harm victims of domestic violence, single moms who are paid low wages, older workers that lost jobs through no fault of their own, & workers w/ contingent & temporary hours at work. SB 17 harms low-wage workers. #OhioCanDoBetter #OhioansAgainstSB17

[Hunger Network in Ohio @HungerOhio]

Everyone deserves to be able to make ends meet. It’s already difficult for the ppl to apply for SNAP, Medicaid, & unemployment. SB 17 would put more burden on churches and volunteers to fill gaps. We urge Sen. @kristinaroegner & cmte to stop the bill. #OhioansAgainstSB17

[Hunger Network in Ohio @HungerOhio]

We need virtual testimony because the statehouse will once again become a super spreader event. :(

[Laura Bischoff @lbischoff]

Another year, another batch of state lawmakers who won’t wear masks.
