Why is the legislature asking us to reduce our rights?

We need your help, Friend!

Time is running out in lame duck session and this resolution is flying through the legislature. 

House Joint Resolution 6 (HJR6) is a constitutional amendment that will raise the threshold to pass citizen-led Constitutional Amendments on the ballot. Our state legislature would be effectively asking us to vote to reduce our own power!

Tools like the Constitutional Amendment process in Ohio have never been more precious nor their defense more important. We see no justifiable reason, after over 100 years, to suddenly make this already challenging process more difficult.

There are 3 ways to help:

1. Contact your elected officials

2. Attend the rally in Columbus next Tuesday 

Join us and 140 organizations from across the political spectrum for a Rally for Democracy to stop House Joint Resolution 6 on Tuesday, December 13! We are gathering at Trinity Episcopal Church at 11:15am. The church is across the street from the Statehouse at 125 E Broad St, Columbus, OH 43215.

3. Make a contribution to our year end fundraising campaign

Can’t make it to the rally or you've already contacted your legislators? Then please help us fund our campaign to protect direct democracy in Ohio.

Thank you for taking action and Happy Holidays!
