From our friends at Equality Ohio

In the final hours of last year’s legislative session, Ohio’s legislature passed HB 8—a dangerous bill modeled after Florida’s harmful “Don’t Say Gay or Trans” law. This legislation forces schools to notify parents or caregivers if a student requests to use a different name or pronouns, even when that disclosure could put the student at risk of harm.

HB 8 endangers the lives of LGBTQ+ youth in Ohio. Transgender and nonbinary students deserve to trust their educators without fear of being outed to unsupportive families, and educators deserve a workplace where they do not have to fear retribution for supporting a student.

Governor DeWine has the power to halt this harmful legislation, but he needs to hear from you. Call or email Governor DeWine now and demand he veto HB 8. Regardless of the outcome, your message in support of our precious youth will resound loud and clear.

Call DeWine today at 614-466-3555 and urge him to veto HB 8!
Send an Email Message to DeWine

Every call and every email counts in the fight to protect Ohio’s children. Through our collective action, our children will see what side of history we are on, and right now, that could save a life. Together, we can send a strong message that discrimination has no place in our state.

Thank you for standing with Ohio’s LGBTQ+ youth. To our allies, stay visible and steadfast. To our transgender youth in Ohio: you are loved, you are important, and you deserve to exist as you are—free from hate. We will keep working every single day toward that end.

In solidarity always,
Dwayne Steward
Executive Director
