CAIR-Ohio’s statement on anti-racist education.

CAIR-Ohio is disappointed in the the Ohio State Board of Education’s decision to repeal the anti-racism resolution which outlined crucial steps towards racial equity in Ohio schools. Condemning White supremacy and teaching an accurate historical account of racial injustice does not create division, but rather inspires forward-thinking change. We will continue to work towards racial equity in Ohio schools.

Although the Ohio Redistricting Commission has yet to meet on or propose a congressional map (disappointing but not surprising), deadlines are approaching and we need to be ready to mobilize. Click here for the full infographic.

OP-ED: State legislative maps fail us, but the fight for fair congressional districts is on

It’s no secret that Ohio is one of the most gerrymandered states in the nation. In 2018, Ohio voters said enough is enough and overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment on redistricting reform. The changes were to be delivered through the 2021 redistricting cycle by way of a fair and transparent redistricting process facilitated by the Ohio Redistricting Commission.
