Chop Wood, Carry Ohio 12/9 🚜

Hi, all!

Me again! Hope you’ve been able to get some rest.

I wanted to forward you this (mildly alarming) e-mail from the Ohio Democrats. Not sure how many of you actually live in the state, but if you do *please* help draw attention to this situation.

I'm reaching out because Ohio statehouse Republicans have some nasty planned tricks up their sleeves. Cynically banking on Ohioans being politically-fatigued after these midterms, they are going to try to sneak through some very repressive voting rights legislation before this lame duck session concludes on Friday 12/16.

The consequences of this voting rights legislation, should it pass, would be severe. It just further drives home what we already know: The GOP's pernicious agenda does not have the will of the American people behind it, and they subsequently need to rig the game in their favor in every which way possible. Though the midterms have ended, the fight for the values we believe in goes on. We cannot let this legislation go through and we would love your help to fight back if you are able to give your time.

We are going to have a week of action next week in which we get as many people as we can to call every GOP Rep in the Statehouse to let them know we will not stand for it. No direct voter contact or anything like that, just calling reps. Easier or more fun calls there could not be! We will provide training and materials, and you can call entirely on your own schedule. Training lasts 15 minutes or so, and the calls all said and done take no more than an hour! 

If you're able to join us, you can sign up for one of our brief training sessions through this Mobilize link. If you have any questions about the training, please don't hesitate to reply to this email. I will be out of service later this afternoon until about 12pm on Sunday, but will answer any questions you have as soon as I get back. 

Hope some of you can help out with this.

Thanks! And happy holidays!

Jess
