On August 8, people of faith across Ohio turned out and overwhelmingly defeated a dangerous statewide referendum funded by an out-of-state billionaire that would have weakened our democracy and undermined efforts to secure reproductive freedom for all Ohioans. 

​

Our victory over Issue 1 protects our democracy and ensures the majority of voters are heard in November when there will be a crucial ballot initiative to enshrine reproductive freedom into Ohio’s constitution. Our work isn’t done; not in Ohio or across the country. Now, we move on to making sure we protect people’s right to reproductive freedom, including abortion, this fall!
