Join us for Youngstown May Day Festival April 27-28 at the Calvin Center, 755 Mahoning Ave: a fun, free and family friendly festival celebrating spring, civil rights, labor, and all things progressive.
In 2023, the OH legislature passed just 15ish? Bills. And like half of those named a highway or something trivial.
But they had *25* hearings on anti LGBTQ bills, most targeting youth.
Now they’re coming back early from their Xmas vacations solely to take healthcare from kids
The relentless, state-sponsored bullying against Transgender youth is horrific. This is a new-low.
@GovMikeDeWine did the right thing be vetoing HB 68, and we’ll do everything in our power to make sure the bill remains dead.

Representative Gayle Manning has always stood with labor, and it’s more important than ever that she votes No on Senate Bill 83. Call Rep. Manning at 614-644-5076 and tell her to stand with working Ohioans, just like we have stood with her.
🚨 House Higher Ed Committee has added SB 83 to agenda AFTER the required 24 hour notice for changes. No oral testimony. POSSIBLE VOTE. We need calls into the committee members offices. See more below.

The backroom deal by YSU Trustees has even caused the city's own Ed O'Neill to step away. Stop the bleed @youngstownstate -- rescind the offer!

Today Tuesday 1:30pm we're meeting at Tod Hall to go to the 'emergency' meeting Trustees have called bc they want to install Johnson before pressure mounts further. 5000+ signatures, endless calls to Johnson, the @YSUFoundation and pressure on Trustees. It's working! Keep it up!
In a fake emergency vote by the DeWine appointed trustees of the university @youngstownstate offered insurrectionist climate science denier anti-civil rights blowhard Bill Johnson the uni presidency. Good people, please step up to help us demand they rescind and reopen the search
“There is a disconnect between what voters want and what the legislature wants,” said Catherine Turcer, executive director of Common Cause Ohio. “It just highlights how gerrymandered the state legislature is.”

Valley pals, pls call our local news or send a letter to demand they stop the anti-choice bias in reporting the win of Issue 1. Ohioans issued a broad public mandate to report fairly and accurately on the need for abortion healthcare. Take action here: https://t.co/LC1egpalcg
Opinion by Maureen O'Connor and Yvette McGee Brown:
This disconnect between legislative actions and voter intent reveals the stark reality of Ohio's problematic electoral landscape — one of the most gerrymandered in the country.

Demographics from Issue 1 exit polling.
Who were the strongest supporters of abortion rights in Ohio? Black men, followed by Black women. Who were the least supportive? White men and those 65 or older.
That ought to make Dems do some hard thinking.
