Ohio Children's Budget Coalition

23 child-serving organizations striving to make our next state budget one that invests in Ohio’s children, families and future.

[Ohio Children's Budget Coalition @BudgetOhio]

We still have a long road ahead to make Ohio the best state to both be and raise a child, but we are grateful to all of our partners and state leaders for progress made this year to improve child well-being in Ohio's biennial budget: https://t.co/4t6SdGHVEb

📢 It's the last weekend to vote before Election Day on Tuesday, August 8th! Remember that Ohio has new voter ID requirements and that early voting ends on SUNDAY this year. Find resources and all you need to know on our website: https://t.co/l0sjd9TySu Get out and vote!

Issue 1 would let special interests steal our right to majority rule even before a citizen initiative could get on the ballot.
That's not democracy, that's theft.
Vote no in August. #NoOnIssue1

During SY 2022-23, many students in need of #freeschoolmeals did not meet the household income eligibility level. A family of 3 that earns more than $30K/year did not qualify for free meals. ALL students should have the nutrition needed to learn & thrive. https://t.co/n0aDiLdPDv

[Lynanne Gutierrez @LynanneWolf]

The message from parents in this state and across the nation is clear: If you care about child care, show us the money! @GovMikeDewine, @realJeffLaRe @RepBrideSweeney @ElectMattDolan @senatorcirino @ Chair Edwards. #nochildcarenowork

[COHHIO Homeless @COHHIO]

If a bill to rename a state office building needs more study, then certainly the @OhioSenateGOP's plan to abolish @OhioHousing deserves more scrutiny since this unvetted budget amendment could stall #affordablehousing & jeopardize Ohio's economic development progress.

[Ohio Poverty Law Center @OhioPovertyLaw]

Healthy Beginnings at Home stabilizes housing for Medicaid-eligible pregnant women who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. This initiative is saving babies' lives while reducing #Medicaid spending, & we support the House budget provisions that adequately fund the program.

[Haley BeMiller @haleybemiller]

From @AnnaStaver: State budget negotiations are breaking down because House GOP leaders say they need Democratic support — and the Senate doesn’t plan to play ball. https://t.co/6xCfmsXAYs

[Food Research & Action Center @fractweets]

"The pandemic really was a trial run for healthy #schoolmeals4all and it showed that it worked. It showed it was an easier way to operate programs. And it’s doable. And it’s the right thing to do," said FRAC’s Crystal FitzSimons. https://t.co/3EFCFMLnKd

Senate Republicans made truly cruel changes that would devastate Ohio women, children, low income families, patients, and many more.

[Ohio Association of Foodbanks @OhioFoodbanks]

Stanley [said] when he received SNAP emergency allotments, he could buy healthier foods.

“It was nice not to have to worry about what I am going to do for food next month. Now [we’re asking ourselves], "Do we pay bills? Do we pay our rent or eat?'”

[Lynanne Gutierrez @LynanneWolf]

Ohioans showed up for kids and families today at the Ohio Statehouse demanding restoration of more than half a billion of @GovMikeDeWine and @OHRGOPCaucus @OhioHouseDems thoughtful investments in children. #savechildcare #nochildcarenowork

[Ohio Urban Community Action Network (OUCAN) @OHUrbanCounties]

Great piece by @SamanaSheikh on yesterday's #RallyforOhiosFuture with @Advocates4OH
and @OhioFoodbanks and hundreds of Ohioans! #BuildABetterBudget #ProtectOhioans

[Ohio Children's Budget Coalition @BudgetOhio]

Meet us at the Statehouse tomorrow from 12-2pm to Rally for Ohio's Future! Children do not come in pieces, and neither should our policy and budget decisions. We must demand our lawmakers prioritize their whole child wellbeing. #ForOhioChildren https://t.co/4zrp0rRt3s

[NASW Ohio Chapter @NASWOhioChapter]

NASW Ohio and other advocates have been advocating for 20% Medicaid reimbursement rate for providers. This was not reflected in the Senate budget as passed but we still have a chance to advocate for more funding for salaries while the budget is in conference committee. ⬇️

[Advocates for Ohio's Future @Advocates4OH]

Join us on Wednesday as we Rally for Ohio's Future! Lend your voice when it matters most—as final budget decisions are being made—and demand state policymakers restore a budget that prioritizes the people of Ohio. #RallyForOhiosFuture https://t.co/GpdUllimSf

[Groundwork Ohio @GroundworkOhio]

Looking forward to hearing from Raya and seeing hundreds of other passionate Ohioans tomorrow. Will you be there?

[Advocates for Ohio's Future @Advocates4OH]

The budget passed by the Ohio Senate fails to invest in Ohio families. But Ohio's elected officials have an opportunity to do the right thing. Help us rally for a budget that prioritizes the REAL needs of Ohio's families, kids, and older adults. Join us: https://t.co/05BSolcXYu
