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.

Senator Moreno's brazen disregard for the rule of law and basic civics is shocking. The Supreme Court just ruled—yet again—that birthright citizenship is the law of the land. Statutes never override the Constitution. https://ow.ly/Zv1h50ZjnmI

The Supreme Court rubber stamped the Trump administration’s racist and politically-driven agenda to strip Syrian and Haitian TPS holders of vital humanitarian protections. https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/07/01/immigrant-advocates-give-next-steps-for-ohio-haitians-after-tps-termination/

We are happy to see that Columbus has disabled nationwide data-sharing on their Flock cameras, but we would urge city leaders to end the contract all together. Mass surveillance does not equal public safety. https://ow.ly/JYNu50ZjhXc

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.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled that states can ban transgender girls from school sports. This is a devastating ruling for trans students across the country who simply want the freedom to play with their friends.

Ohio stakeholders must cut ties with ICE. ✂️ In March, we sent cautionary letters to all Ohio entities that have at least one type of immigration related contract urging them to rescind all current engagements. https://ow.ly/7b8N50ZiuLK

Without Temporary Protected Status, thousands of Haitians who live in Ohio are at risk of being sent back to a country in crisis. We agree with Governor DeWine, we are a nation of immigrants. https://ow.ly/ylGk50ZiuJz

Last week, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end legal protections for migrants fleeing violence and natural disaster in Haiti, subjecting thousands of people to face deportation in Springfield, Ohio.

We urge Cleveland's elected officials not to renew the city's contract with Flock for $250,000. This intrusive surveillance does not keep us safe. We at the ACLU of Ohio are here to tell you that Big Brother is in fact watching. https://ow.ly/zuAn50Zi8cw

When our plaintiff Jim Obergefell lost his husband John in 2013, he was denied being listed as John's spouse on his death certificate. We took his case to the Supreme Court, who in 2015 ruled in Jim’s favor and established marriage equality for same-sex couples everywhere in the United States.

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...

This legislation was an unfounded and unnecessary attack on absentee voting, brazenly rushed through the Ohio General Assembly at the 11th hour. We are very relieved that Governor DeWine vetoed HB 472. https://ow.ly/O7oE50ZhyCG

In an unconscionable decision, the Supreme Court has ignored the clear evidence that the Trump administration's actions were arbitrary and racist. We stand with Springfield and all Haitians who call Ohio home. www.dispatch.com/story/news/p...

The Supreme Court has ignored the clear evidence that the Trump administration's actions were arbitrary and racist. The decision threatens to strip legal status from 1.3 million people, greenlighting the largest de-documentation campaign in U.S. history. But the fight is not over.

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.

This is a devastating decision from SCOTUS, ruling in favor of Trump's mass deportation agenda. Temporary Protected Status represents more than protection. It represents the ability of families to stay together. We stand with the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio. ♥️ abcnews.com/Politics/sup...

📣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.

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.

Columbus Dispatch Editorial Gov. DeWine must veto Ohio’s latest brazen attack on voting rights Ohio's latest example is legislation that would require a photo ID to vote by mail starting in 2027, a ridiculous and cumbersome requirement. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

🗣️Aside from the fact that HB 472 will exclude voters who rely on mail voting to participate in our democracy, the most dangerous unintended consequence of this bill is the likely spike in scams and identity theft. Gov. DeWine must veto TODAY. ‼️ https://ow.ly/YX0Z50Zgjfw

We have numerous First Amendment and privacy concerns around HB 251 and urge Governor DeWine to veto. https://www.wosu.org/2026-06-22/will-dewine-let-the-drone-bill-fly-into-law-or-will-he-ground-it

Last week, Cleveland’s Public Safety Committee voted to reject a one-year renewal of the city’s Flock Safety camera contract. 👏 Another vote is still possible before the end of the month. Surveillance does not equal safety. https://ow.ly/Tgb250ZfUaO

🚨🗳️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.

Governor DeWine has a real opportunity to address the capital punishment system that he agrees is broken by reviewing individual cases and commuting sentences before it’s too late. https://ow.ly/uRwB50ZejRl

HB 251 impacts privacy rights by giving state and local law enforcement the authority to surveil us anywhere and everywhere, without a warrant, as long as we are outside our homes. We urge Gov. DeWine to VETO. https://ow.ly/u8Fk50Zeixx

In 1967, not even 60 years ago, the Supreme Court established the right to interracial marriage in our case representing Mildred and Richard Loving. Today, we remain committed to challenging legislation that discriminates against our communities and tears our families apart.

At its core, clemency reflects a simple but profound truth: laws, no matter how carefully written, cannot account for every human circumstance. Courts are bound by statutes and precedent. Governors are not. That distinction is precisely why clemency exists. https://ow.ly/Wv4450ZaJOW

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.

Masked, armed, untrained federal agents are aggressively arresting Ohioans – without warrants or probable cause - to meet President Trump’s arbitrary quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day. This must stop. https://ow.ly/QhtT50Z9J0A

We are deeply saddened by the Cleveland Clinic’s $2 million settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ), the result being that the Clinic will withhold, for at least the next 20 years, science-based, gender-affirming care to children and families in need. https://ow.ly/X8HA50Zatim

It's official, our lawmakers have weaponized the Ohio Constitution for their own political gain. SJR 10 is a transparent ploy to manipulate the democratic system and impact the governor’s race. The brazen coordination with the Ramaswamy Campaign is not at all subtle. www.wvxu.org/2026-06-10/p...

This restriction has already been struck down in court. Our Constitution is clear: lawmakers may not burden, penalize, or discriminate against people accessing abortion care. https://ow.ly/lX5C50Z9J1k
