Congratulations Ohio Worker's SB 5 is on the Ballot!!


Dear Supporter,

Today thousands of you, volunteers with We Are Ohio, marched in downtown Columbus to the Ohio Secretary of State office to deliver 1,298,301 signatures to repeal SB 5, the unfair attack on employee rights and worker safety.

You collected more signatures than any other petition drive in Ohio history. The citizen-driven petition drive exceeded the 3% threshold and collected at least 6%, or double the amount required by Ohio law in all 88 counties.

Today we celebrate with you, our volunteers, the people who made this unprecedented achievement possible. This historic number of signatures sends a strong, clear message to the extreme politicians who played political tricks to pass SB 5 and to the rest of the country.

More than 1 million voices from all 88 counties can’t be wrong.
Thank you to our volunteers who marched today, the more than 10,000 volunteers who collected signatures and the more than one million who support the citizen’s veto of SB 5. You are proof that while our campaign may be out spent, we will never be out worked, or out volunteered or out supported by hard working Ohioans like you.

While we celebrate today, tomorrow we must hit the ground running. November 8th will be here before we know it. Thank you for your incredible work. We look forward to working with you from now until November 8th, when we repeal SB 5.

Sincerely,

AJ Stokes
Campaign Manager
