At 2:15 the Ohio Senate Finance Committee will begin. One of the bills on their agenda today is SB 159. A plan to give people state income tax credits for donations to anti-abortion centers, also known as crisis pregnancy centers. Watch Here: ohiochannel.org/live/ohio-sena… We have heard a lot recently from anti-abortion elected officials on how great "pregnancy centers" are for Ohio. The truth? These centers lie to & coerce people turning to them for help. Read more about our recent study of these centers in Cbus here: prochoiceohio.org/columbuscpc/

Today we delivered over 700,000 signatures from Ohioans - we will have victory in Ohio. @PPAOhio You can watch live here: fb.watch/lBfVY8OI3D/?mi…

Starting now: A committee of the Ohio House is hearing initial testimony on House Joint Resolution 1, the plan by extremist members of the Republican caucus to allow a 40% minority of Ohio voters to block constitutional amendments.
Video: ohiochannel.org/live/ohio-hous… You might not be able to tell from the video, but they've selected one of the smallest, cramped hearing rooms for this hearing that would affect 11 million Ohioans. Republicans are literally trying to hide their horrible plans in the Statehouse basement.

House is FINALLY back again... first up, concurrence vote on HB 458, a VERY bad bill that requires photo ID to vote, and several other bad voting provisions... looks like they will pass this bill even though they don't all some of it, and fixes to the bill will be added to HB 45. So, they are going to vote on stuff they don't agree with, on the promise that they will get fixed "sometime between now and breakfast." Again, this is NOT how our democracy should work.

The OH Sen is currently adding a HUGE amendment without time for folks to review it to an already awful bill, HB 151 which bans trans youth from playing sports. This amendment is more than 2000 pages introduced after 10pm on the last day of session. This is NOT the way to govern.

This amendment is added to the bill - by a vote of 23-7, party line vote. Once again the OH Leg does what it does best, make a bad bill even worse... #LameDuckShenanigans

And... there it is, HB 105, a previously amazing bill to support child sexual abuse and sexual violence victims and provide prevention education was amended to include a dangerous amendment that could block those victims from getting the healthcare they need. #LameDuckShenanigans The amendment was added on a party line vote, all R's voting yes all D's voting no. Still waiting in this hearing to see what they do with HB 151, the bill that would ban Trans Youth from playing sports.

We're watching Ohio House Committee on Government Oversight hearing, and actively fighting against House Bill 294 and House Joint Resolution 6, which are both disasters for voters' rights in Ohio.

Watch live: ohiochannel.org/live/ohio-hous… The committee opens with an amendment to House Bill 294 to restrict ballot boxes, which passes with full Democratic opposition.

Hearing today: At 10:30AM, the Ohio House Government Oversight Committee will hear sponsor testimony on a "trigger ban" that would block all abortion in Ohio if the US Supreme Court banned abortion anywhere. Our @JMiracleOH speaks to the media before the committee starts. @JMiracleOH TAKE ACTION: Email your representative in the Ohio House and tell them to reject House Bill 598

A point of pride in today’s Pro-Choice Ohio endorsement of Emilia Sykes is that this is our very first endorsement for a federal elected office. As in... First Ever. 1/

In past elections, you’ve seen our team working to elect some terrific pro-choice champions into Congress and the White House. We are proud of that work. 2/
