Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Ohio’s GOP Overturns Gov. DeWine’s Veto on Anti-Trans Legislation

HeadlineJan 25, 2024

The Ohio Senate voted to override Governor Mike DeWine’s veto of an anti-trans bill banning gender-affirming medical treatment for youth. The House also voted to override the Republican governor’s veto earlier this month. The law, which also bars transgender students from school sports, is set to go into effect in 90 days. The transgender advocacy group TransOhio said it has been in touch with dozens of families who feel under attack and plan to leave the state.
