Majority Rules: Ohio’s August 8th Victory for Democracy and the Road Ahead

Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams revel in the huge “Hell No!” defeat of Issue 1 with post-election analysis and issues-based insights about faith, repro, and the power of people to effect change in the Buckeye state.

Looking forward to the November 2023 election and the reproductive freedom constitutional amendment that Ohioans will get to vote on then, Kelley and Terry connect electoral fights with faith-rooted repro rights — making a clear case for sustained faith engagement in the nonpartisan revolution to secure abortion access and reproductive freedom across our region.
