COLUMBUS – Today ,"We Are Ohio" announced at a press conference on the steps of the Ohio Statehouse that 714,137 total signatures have been collected in just two months. This surpasses the "We Are Ohio" goal of collecting 450,000 to 500,000 total signatures and represents more than three times the total amount of valid signatures needed to place the repeal of SB 5 on the November ballot. "We Are Ohio" is a citizen-driven, community-based, bipartisan coalition that has come together to repeal SB 5, an unfair attack on employee rights and worker safety. “We are absolutely blown away at the overwhelming support shown by the more than 10,000 volunteers who have been working extremely hard to collect signatures thus far,” said Melissa Fazekas, spokeswoman for "We Are Ohio."
