"People in this country are sick and tired of the vitriol. They want to come together. Gerrymandering keeps us apart. It keeps us from coming together and finding common grounds and good solutions." - Janine

"The #gerrymandering arms race sweeping the country has put a spotlight on just how sinister of a practice this is. It's a shame, and it's a plague on both your houses" - Colin Marozzi YES SHAKESPEARE 🤌 #Ohio #FairMaps

📣"With maps so distorted, outcomes are predetermined long before votes are even cast." - James Gregory Thank you for speaking with so much grace, even though you were not treated with such. They did not let you finish your testimony. And like with everyone else, no questions were asked. #FairMaps

LOUDER 👏"Every one of you knows what #gerrymandering is and what it isn't. You set on your course of ignoring the law, ignoring the court, ignoring the voters, and demonstrating to the world what gerrymandering is and why politicians should not be involved in drawing #district lines" - Mia Lewis

First testimony today: "If the Democrats don't agree to a map now, we'll go back to the legislators where they will pass an even more gerrymandered map. This isn't a compromise. This is a threat." - Jullia Cattaneo You called this a compromise... IT'S NOT

Zachary Gibbs preaching yet again!: "The Governor who could not grace his constituents with a moment of his time yesterday. Likely because he is simply just collecting his paycheck. So go ahead. Pat yourselves on the back." (DeWine laughed...)

YES ZACHARY GIBBS! Thank you for pointing out that this commission is expected to produce something more than political theater...👏👏👏 "Are you afraid of allowing residents of the state of Ohio to have a fair election? One that allows us to pick our candidates?"

👏Thank you Javier Diez for not being able to vote and still CARING, 17 and yet so wise. "It's an incredibly American thing to go up to the polling booth. But I want my vote to hold the same weight as other people in Ohio."

"I realized how badly we were gerrymandered with the Abortion Amendment when it passed. With such a majority, in such a red state. And I realized... how poorly are the people's interests being represented?" -Charity Frierson Thank you for your words! 💜

📢Our very own Bria Bennett NAILED her testimony! "Republicans are trying to take away our voting power with rigged maps, and you Senator Antonio and Rep. Isaacsohn seem to be considering letting this happen" As she stated: We WILL REMEMBER this

Leader Antonio says she believes in fairness... however if she approves this map she will show us that she DOES NOT. 😖Don't thank us for coming, for showing up... we need YOU to LISTEN and to SHOW UP FOR US!

🧵Hearing has began with a full room, we thank everyone who showed up! Sadly they have just started uploading a map to the website... giving Ohioans NO CHANCE to testify for or against it. Here is the map the comission is voting on:

Last month, Leader Antonio said she wouldn’t support maps that “put the people’s interests last.” ‼️Now she’s reportedly considering a deal with Republicans for a 12 - 3 map — the exact opposite of what Ohioans asked for. We deserve leaders who put us first. #FairMaps #Ohio

Equal Districts
@equaldistricts.org

Earlier this month, Leader Isaacsohn called Ohio’s 11–4 map “a gerrymander.” ‼️Now he’s cutting a deal with Republicans for a 12–3 map, even more rigged. You can’t call it unfair one week and sign off the next. Ohioans deserve #fairmaps, not sellouts. #ohio
