In 2024, the Ohio Senate overrode Gov Mike DeWine’s veto and passed House Bill 68, eliminating transgender health care for youth.
This vote happened after hearing the testimony of doctors, scientists, hospital presidents, parents, and youth. All avenues of traditional advocacy work, inside game and outside game were exhausted. And none of that changed one vote.
We can never achieve justice within our own groups. If the only people working for environmental justice are environmentalists, if the only people working to dismantle racism are Black, if the only people standing up for trans rights are queer, we will never have the power to change systems.
We must work together and show up for each other so all people can have liberation.
Across the country today people will gather to protest Project 2025. A project that impacts all of us. My hope is that this day can bring us together across our personal areas and we can build community and intersectionality so we can upend the white supremacy, colonialism, and patriarchy that undergird all inequities. Go to 50protests.com and find a rally near you.
Let us join together so we can all set each other free.
