HB109 seeks to criminalize the First Amendment rights of ALL Ohioans, further militarize and empower police, and silence the organizations and movements who work to preserve those rights.
This is unacceptable and we must stand up in opposition — the legislature is trying to take away our voices so much else has already been taken from communities who it affects. We know that the right to protest is fundamental and one of the few tools we have to build our power, uplift our pain, and push forward for a safer Ohio for us all.
Too often, the voices of our families are silenced by those in power. Too often, we are only heard when we are viewed as serving a greater purpose. We are reclaiming our power to speak truth, we are reclaiming our power to drive change, and we are standing tall as we demand an Ohio that is safe for and honors the humanity of us all.
Carry the Torch! Stand with us in opposition to HB109!
