There is still more work to be done, but we are prepared to continue to fight for our mothers and babies!”

Support the Ohio Fairness Act

In a 6-3 decision with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Neil Gorsuch joining the U.S. Supreme Court’s liberal justices, the court this week ruled that federal civil rights laws protect LGBTQ Americans from workplace discrimination.

This is a huge win, but there is still work to be done. State Sen. Nickie Antonio sponsored the Ohio Fairness Act, which would outlaw all discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. This is critical legislation for the LGBTQ+ community in Ohio. Take a minute to urge your legislators to support the Ohio Fairness Act.
