Pass the Ohio Fairness Act
Take Action
Make a Call
In just a couple minutes, you can make a powerful impact. Legislators take calls from people very seriously.
Please call Senator John Eklund at 614-634-9793. He is the chair of the Ohio Senate Judiciary Committee, so he can decide whether to advance the Ohio Fairness Act. Since this issue impacts all Ohioans, he needs to hear from all of us, regardless of your district.
You will likely speak to an aide, or if it’s after hours, you’ll leave a voicemail.
Say something like this:
My name is [name] and I am calling to thank the Senator for holding a hearing on the Ohio Fairness Act and to ask that he hold another hearing for Senate Bill 11 so it can move through the legislative process.
