‼️ HAPPENING SOON (maybe?!)

The Redistricting Commission is reportedly going to come back from recess at 8pm to vote on the final state legislative maps.

We'll keep you posted as this develops, but for now we just want them to #ShowUsTheMaps. Image
The Commission has recessed until 9pm.
Sen. and Leader Sykes are now both here.

Speaker Cupp, Gov. DeWine, and Sen. Huffman are huddled in a back room.

Looks like Dem and Rep staff are here, so hopefully we'll see some action soon - stay tuned!

Happy State Legislative Map Deadline Day, Ohio!

With just a few days’ notice, so many of our dedicated AOTL Ohio volunteers attended our 3 hearings to demand #FairMaps and are featured in this article’s run down.

Here’s some of our favorite 🧵👇

statenews.org/government-pol…
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.”
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.”

🗣️ HAPPENING SOON

The final public input hearing on the state legislative maps that will impact our political future for the next 10 years.

There are 87 (!!) people signed up to testify today, which would be shocking if we didn't already know y'all are ready for #FairMaps!
While we wait for the hearing to start at 10:30am, why not get your morning off on the right foot by giving the Commission leaders a call/email to tell them to OPPOSE the GOP-proposed map.

Take action now! bit.ly/3AhLvxG
Here we go...

Speaker Cupp opens by mentioning that there is a remote location in Marietta where folks can appear to give testimony being virtually played in the Statehouse.

Virtual testimony makes this process more accessible and it should've been available for everyone.

Tune in here for live tweet updates or on the Ohio Channel for the live stream here: ohiochannel.org/live/special-e…
All 7 members of the commission are in attendance today for this hearing - marking just the 4th time that's happened in nearly 15 hearings of the commission.
Sen. Sykes mentions there are more than 50 people signed up to testify today!

As we've always known, Ohioans are fired up and ready for #FairMaps - can't wait to hear from all of you.

The testimony last night mirrored our own feelings and those of our coalition (@EqualDistricts) that the GOP map craves apart our communities, doesn’t reflect how we vote, and doesn’t give BIPOC communities the representation they deserve.

We have just 2 hearings left where we can weigh in on the state legislative maps that will dictate our political future for the next decade.

Which one are you attending?

Today, we saw Republicans revealed to be at the center of a staggering corruption scandal at the Statehouse. At the heart of the issue is that under gerrymandered maps, politicians are more beholden to extremists and lobbyists than they are to their voters.

Thread to follow.
So what happened? Speaker Larry Householder and four lobbyists were arrested in a $60 million racketeering and bribery scandal surrounding the passage of controversial HB6 - a bill that gutted our clean energy standards and bailed out two failing nuclear plants.
Ohioans overwhelmingly support investing in green energy and acting on climate. That HB6 was even on the table for conversation is a direct result of gerrymandering - if our elected officials cared about their constituents' opinions this bill would have never gone anywhere.
