Support litigation to stop the unlawful, anti-democratic education takeover in Ohio.

More than 70 years ago, the people of Ohio made the determination that education should be a non-partisan issue controlled by an independent body–not the governor. This attempted education takeover is a prime example of the broader movement by extremist-controlled governors’ mansions and legislatures to deprive communities of meaningful representation. That’s why we’re proud to work alongside parents and a local school board in Ohio to fight back against this unlawful takeover. Donate now to support these litigation efforts.
