Hey #RNC2020, Since you brought up #Lordstown, we have some more thoughts.
1/
policymattersohio.org/press-room/201…
Ohio lawmakers can extend the Art Modell Law to other businesses. The law, passed after the Browns' owner moved the team to Baltimore, requires pro sports teams to give at least 6 months’ notice of intent to leave, and give locals the opportunity to buy the franchise.
2/
Strengthen WARN Act protections & enforcement. The Federal Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires large employers give 60 days’ notice to the state & workers before a big layoff. Some states include smaller firms & layoffs and provide severance pay 3/
Their Collective Bargaining Agreement gave Lordstown workers an advocate and possible recourse. State and federal lawmakers must protect working peoples' rights to speak up together...
4/
Another thought: let's think carefully about tax incentives - at all levels of government. Ohio allocated $82 million to GM in 2006 on the promise the plant would stay open at least 30 years...and well, that didn't really pan out.
5/5

Poverty is the result of policy choices.
2/
 Policies that concentrate poverty in predominantly Black cities are racist.
3/
 Being "not racist" isn't enough to solve the problem.

Thread 🚨
Yesterday the #Census released new data that show how Americans fared last year w/ a caveat: the pandemic ended doorknocking early and caused a pretty big undercount.

But this is clear: too many Americans struggled to make ends meet in 2019.

Everyone should be able to put food on the table and keep the lights on - even during tough times. But when the health crisis hit, and necessary public health orders caused many people to lose their jobs, a lot of people didn't have reserves needed.
2/
People are suffering because of decisions made by some of our elected leaders who are more accountable to what's best for corporations instead of what's best for people.

Thread:

Like most of us, @GovMikeDeWine wants Ohio to be a healthy place to live.

Unlike most of us, he has the power to enact statewide policy solutions to help all Ohioans thrive, regardless of race, status or wealth.
2/
@GovMikeDeWine took a step toward a healthy Ohio for everyone when he convened his Minority Health Strike Force. Now that team has delivered a detailed blueprint for health equity in our state:

The governor's team gave him some specific assignments...

Thread: This #Labor Day, let’s reflect on how Ohio’s working ppl have stepped up during COVID-19: the ICU nurse tending to a gravely ill patient, the janitor keeping the building safe and clean, the meatpacking workers making sure we have food to eat despite their high risk. 1/
Every #LaborDay, we release our “State of Working Ohio” report. We look back at how working ppl fared over the last year. This year we’re focused on policies to provide working ppl w/ a much needed “reset” and longer-term reforms to “unrig” the economy 2/ policymattersohio.org/research-polic…
Before COVID-19 struck, working Ohioans produced record wealth, but they weren’t sharing in it the way they should have been. The wealthiest captured most of the gains. #LaborDay 3/ Image

Thread:

Most Ohioans have been doing our part to take care of each other – from wearing masks to running errands for neighbors. But years of bad policy -- sponsored by and in service to corporations & the wealthy -- have left us vulnerable.

 With proper investment in public services, Ohio could have been prepared & resilient in the face of COVID.

Instead, state leaders must use every tool they have just to keep vital systems running.

And they aren’t even doing that...

3/
State leaders are sitting on billions in the rainy day fund and unspent federal funding, even as many Ohioans are on the brink of disaster, many more are already there, and long-neglected public programs that help us all are eroded even further.

Everyone – no matter their color – deserves the freedom to live without fear. That hasn’t been the case for Black and brown communities who are disproportionately targeted by law enforcement.

At Policy Matters, we’re outraged by the police shooting in Kenosha. Witnesses say Jacob Blake was trying to make peace in his community. Still police shot him seven times in the back, just feet away from his children, family and neighbors.

For centuries, Black, brown and Indigenous Americans have been oppressed and exploited by policies that enrich the very few. Too often we see law enforcement violently upholding this system.
