Monday, December 7, 7-8:30pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Now that our Statehouse and Senate races have wrapped up, we need all hands on deck in our fight for pro-democracy, pro-transparency reforms at the Statehouse next session.

Governmental ethics and transparency took center stage a few months ago after former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder was arrested as part of a $60 million pay-to-play scandal involving the passage of House Bill 6, a huge bailout of nuclear plants owned by FirstEnergy. Read more here.

And, at the end of October, FirstEnergy’s CEO was fired only moments after two defendants in that same FirstEnergy case pled guilty, leaving Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost to ask, “The only remaining question: ‘who else?’”

No elected official should prioritize their power over the people they represent, but to make sure this never happens again, we’ve got to make structural changes to increase accountability and transparency at the Ohio Statehouse.

We’re kicking off a massive transparency and government accountability push with our two-night virtual speakers’ series: “Blueprint for Democracy: How We Can Stop Being Ripped Off.” You can watch the recording of our November 16th event here and register for our November 23rd [at 7pm] event here. We will also be hosting a follow-up discussion on December 7 at 7pm.
