When Donald Trump ran for president, he promised the American people we’d be “winning so much [we’d] get tired of winning.” But by now, it’s clear: the only ones winning are billionaires, big corporations, and the well-connected—the rest of us have been left behind. This administration has worked overtime to help corporations and the ultra-rich pocket even more profits at our expense. And to pay for it, they’re taking a sledgehammer to the parts of...
LOG YOUR CALL: Tell your Senator to preserve the Ohio Elections Commission
While prosecutors are STILL continuing to seek accountability for those involved in the HB6 scandal — the largest bribery scheme the state has ever seen — the legislature is considering making it even harder to combat government corruption.

For our democracy to work, elected officials must...

LOG YOUR CALL: Tell Your State Senator to Reject Senate Bill 153
Senate Bill 153 (together with its identical twin, House Bill 233) is the latest attempt to rewrite Ohio’s election laws. The bill is massive, unnecessary, and harmful. If enacted it would make it harder for eligible Ohioans to vote, and harder to collect petition signatures, while at the same time placing impossible bureaucratic and financial burdens on our county boards of elections. On Tuesday, the Ohio Senate General Government Committee heard from only one proponent...
