Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner announced today that the Ohioans for Healthy Families Coalition has submitted more than enough valid signatures to send the Ohio Healthy Families Act to the Ohio General Assembly!

We are excited about the success of the signature gathering, but an even tougher challenge awaits us as we pressure the Legislature to pass and enact this standard. For the Ohio Healthy Families Act to pass there, we need to make sure Legislators from across the state receive a loud and clear message that Ohioans deserve paid sick days.

On Thursday, January 17th make your voice heard! Our first Lobby Day will be held in Columbus from 12:00pm to 5:00pm. We will meet at the Crown Plaza Hotel North in Columbus, hold a brief training session, and travel as a group to the statehouse.

A reception will be held from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm. Please RSVP as soon as possible so that we can work to set up appointments with legislators from your district.
