This Disability Pride month and every other month of the year, we’re fighting for a world where Ohioans with disabilities can exist on their own terms.

Thousands of Haitians living in Springfield are in danger of deportation and detention, in the largest de-documentation event in U.S. history. We stand with all immigrant families in Ohio.

The opinion from the judge confirms what we already knew: ICE violated the law and arrested our clients illegally. Unfortunately, we are living in a world where documented human rights violations alone are insufficient to compel court action to stop them. https://ow.ly/Oqub50Zq984

Everyone deserves the opportunity to live, work, and live freely. We’ll never stop fighting for that right.

🗣️The government should not control our reproductive healthcare decisions. 🗣️Abortion is legal in Ohio and we are fighting to keep it that way.

🚨HB 251 will will impact Ohioans’ privacy rights by giving state and local government and law enforcement the authority to engage in never-ending surveillance as long as we are outside our homes. Full statement ➡️ www.acluohio.org/press-releas...

📣On Wednesday, Cleveland City Council will make a final decision on the Flock contract renewal. TAKE ACTION - urge them to cut ties with this corporation that has created one of the most sophisticated surveillance networks in modern history. 📲https://ow.ly/fWNZ50ZmVRW

People with disabilities deserve the freedom to determine our own lives and our own futures. This Disability Pride month and every other month of the year, we’re fighting for a world where we can exist on our own terms.

We celebrate Disability Pride Month in July because it marks the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which became law on July 26, 1990.

Birthright citizenship will remain the law of the land, and there's nothing President Trump can do about it. 🗽

🎉The Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order attempting to overturn birthright citizenship. This historic decision reaffirms that the Constitution — not the president — defines who gets to be a citizen.

Yesterday's SCOTUS ruling means hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrant community members will lose their ability to live and work legally in the U.S. In Ohio, Haitians are part of the fabric of Springfield. www.acluohio.org/know-your-ri...

We applaud Governor DeWine for vetoing House Bill 472, legislation that was "all burden, no benefit." Our existing vote-by-mail system is secure and fair.

📣We commend Governor DeWine’s decision to veto House Bill 472, taking bold action to protect our state’s mail-in ballot process and Ohioans’ right to privacy. The ACLU of Ohio will always have a watchful eye on those who attempt to threaten our sacred right to vote. www.acluohio.org/press-releas...

Four years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned our federal constitutional right to abortion. Two and a half years ago, in November 2023, we enshrined the Reproductive Freedom Amendment into the Ohio Constitution.

📢URGENT: Gov. DeWine has 1 more day to veto HB 472. Make no mistake – this bill would forever change the landscape of vote-by-mail, and will leave all Ohioans vulnerable to identify theft. 📲Take Action: action.aclu.org/send-message...

🗣️Good news: Last week, a Cleveland City Council Committee voted not to extend the city’s contract with Flock. A full council vote could still occur, but nothing has been scheduled. The current contract is set to expire June 29. Keep up the pressure! action.aclu.org/send-message...

🚨🗳️Governor DeWine must save vote-by-mail and veto House Bill 472. He has until Wednesday to either sign or veto this anti-voter legislation. HB 472 puts all of us at risk and leaves Ohioans vulnerable to identity theft. Take action: https://ow.ly/zu5m50Zfcaj

Two months after the end of the Civil War, Union troops went to Galveston Bay on June 19, 1865, to free 250,000+ enslaved people and enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the freedom of enslaved Black people and recognizes the vital work we must do to preserve Black liberation.

🚨TAKE ACTION: HB 472 will end vote-by-mail as we know it, Governor DeWine must veto now. Ohioans should not have to sacrifice their privacy rights in order to participate in our democracy. Sign here: action.aclu.org/send-message...

After hours of testimony and discussion, the Safety Committee did NOT greenlight an extension of the city’s $250,000-a-year contract with Flock, which expires at the end of June. 🖊️Keep up the pressure! action.aclu.org/send-message...

Last night the Ohio General Assembly passed SJR 10, which means there will be a constitutional amendment on the November ballot to enshrine strict photo ID laws into our state constitution. News flash, Ohio already has the strictest photo ID law in the country.
