First up is our own @CarrieCoisman who, as a reply to Sec. LaRose offering us a false choice between the two said:
“We are not picking between a fair process and a fair map. We voted for both, not one or the other.”
“We are not picking between a fair process and a fair map. We voted for both, not one or the other.”
Andrea Yagoda - who brought the fire in the multiple times she’s testified before the Commission - said:
“There are no excuses. We are tired. You are not going to silence me for the next 10 years.”
“There are no excuses. We are tired. You are not going to silence me for the next 10 years.”
Labor leader Erika White in her Toledo testimony made clear to the Commission that “we are weary but we ain’t tired.”
This fight is long, but we’re in it until the end.

Sue Dean Dyke - who’s led weekly group calls to demand action from our Commission for months now - spoke of her own reason for the fight:
“You sent my kids away. They’re not coming back. This is why I’m mad. Politicians have made [Ohio] uninhabitable for young people.”
“You sent my kids away. They’re not coming back. This is why I’m mad. Politicians have made [Ohio] uninhabitable for young people.”
All Ohioans - no matter who we are or where we live - deserve an equal voice and an equal say in our political future. We get that with #FairMaps.
You all have shown up for Ohio to demand a future that works for all of us. And we know you’ll keep doing so until we win.
