Thursday, June 17, 11am-2pm, Ohio Statehouse [Ladies’ Gallery]

On June 26, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine will end the $300/week federal unemployment benefits for Ohio. These payments are federally funded in full and were supposed to be available until September. Far from recovered, workers still need these payments to pay their bills and buy groceries.

Gov. DeWine must rethink his decision to exclude unemployed worker representation on the state’s newly-formed Unemployment Compensation Modernization and Improvement Council. The public needs a seat at the table and there are two empty seats that he has the power to fill.

Take action with unemployed workers and allies across Ohio to tell Gov. DeWine that cutting unemployment is bad for the economy because we are the economy!
