Citizens Not Politicians: How you can help advance fair districts for Ohio
Monday, August 26, 12 – 1 PM
Presented by Ariel Miller, Faith Communities Go Green (FCGG), and A Mighty Stream (AMS)
This forum will outline the citizen-led, nonpartisan constitutional amendment campaign to end Ohio’s extreme partisan gerrymandering which enables our legislators to ignore the commitment of the majority of Ohioans to voter rights, racial justice, and environmental safety. Learn how you can help pass the amendment, which is endorsed by the Ohio Council of Churches, League of Women Voters, and many other statewide civic groups. Ariel Miller, advocacy co-chair for Faith Communities Go Green, will lead this session with a speaker from Fair Districts Ohio.
