The Ohio NAACP, the Ohio Unity Coalition, the Ohio State Conference of the NAACP and the Ohio Organizing Collborative responded to Gov. Mike DeWine's statement
This amendment is incredibly important because Ohio is still one of the 10 most gerrymandered states in our nation,” said Petee Talley, executive director of the Ohio Unity Coalition. “In 2022, residents in several communities were gerrymandered into districts to dilute their voting power.
“We need fair state legislative maps to give Black Communities a fair chance for our voices to be heard and remove the gerrymandering that has silenced our voices,” said Tom Roberts, president, Ohio Conference of Branches of the NAACP. “Fair maps give Black communities the power to chose representatives that speak to our interest concerning jobs, justice, education, health care , and safety."
