🚨 CALL TO ACTION: Help fight SB83, the higher education destruction act, by submitting opposition testimony by tomorrow, Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. Anti Labor Bill SB83 uses "retrenchment" to attack unions and their ability to collectively bargain. The power of labor to organize protections becomes crippled if institutions no longer have to stay accountable to them, just by citing any sort of financial pressure. 🗳️👏 Big cheers to our student leaders across a dozen chapters in the state of Ohio who worked this election to get out the vote. Your hard work paid off, and we're celebrating this win together! 🥳🎉 💬 Why did Josie vote this election? 🗳️ Young people deserve a voice at the table! We did it. 🏆 Dedicated student leaders at campuses such as Kent State helped get students registered and ready to vote leading up to the election. 🗳️ It is because of efforts like these that so many young Ohioans showed up to vote and, consequently, won reproductive rights for the state. 👏👏👏

OSA isn’t about speaking for young people— it’s about empowering young people with the tools to not only speak for themselves, but to organize their communities and build power to win the future we all deserve.
