Happy Pride Month Comrade,

The Ohio legislature ended their current session this week, but before they left, they pushed through terrible bills: arming teachers and allowing any adult to bring guns onto school property, limiting transgendered children's ability to participate in school sports, and advising the US to put Canada on a watchlist for violating religious freedom. The only way to win is to unite and fight together.

In excellent news, Our Kill the Bills rally had amazing speakers and was featured in the Akron Beacon Journal. We are not resting while we wait for the fall of Roe v Wade; en Tuesday, we are partnering with Pro-Choice Ohio to learn about what's going on and what's to come with abortion in Ohio. You can also find resources and ways to connect here.

We have a lot of awesome stuff coming up this month! If you're a member of Akron DSA, chances are that you received a call from us about connecting or reconnecting with the chapter; check your messages.
