⚠️TAKE ACTION ⚠️ Help stop 2 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills from moving through the legislature this week. HB 8 (forced outing/censorship of LGBTQIA+ content in classrooms) may pass out of the Senate Ed Committee and Senate floor, and HB 183 (bathroom ban) may pass out of the House.
Once again, students are speaking out against SB 83! They recognize that this bill is a threat to their education and Ohio's prosperity. #StopSB83 dispatch.com/story/opinion/…
We're at the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services this morning to testify against proposed administrative rule changes impacting gender-affirming care. We're joined by @EqualityOhio @acluohio @transohio @TransAlliesOhio @ProChoiceOH @NASWOhioChapter + more.

📢Ahead of today's vote on overriding the veto of HB 68, we want to remind Senators that healthcare decisions belong with patients, providers, and families. NOT anti-LGBTQ politicians. We're parked outside the Statehouse to say trans youth belong and Ohio is home. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🚚
📰NEW: We just submitted a public comment urging @GovMikeDeWine to rescind the draft rules, which represent the single most extreme set of regulations governing medical treatment for transgender adults anywhere in the U.S. with no grounding in medical science.
A special congrats to MSW student Zaymetrius Jones for being recognized as Statewide Student of the Year by NASW Ohio Chapter! #WeAreSocialWork Zaymetrius, along with many other world-changers, will be celebrated in March at the 2023 Social Work Celebration Gala.

Governor DeWine has vetoed HB 68. This is the result of advocacy of trans folks and their families, providers, and advocates. Thank you all for taking action. Our advocacy action steps continue. Now we need to contact our Ohio legislators to urge them not to overturn the veto.
A Black woman in Ohio has been charged with a felony for abuse of a corpse after she miscarried into her toilet, according to a criminal complaint. Reproductive rights experts warn that it could set a dangerous precedent if she is convicted. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/b…
🚨KEEP CALLING🚨 Tell @GovMikeDeWine to VETO HB 68! The governor can STOP this targeted attack on Ohio's trans kids with his veto! 🏳️⚧️ Gender-Affirming Care SAVES LIVES 🏳️⚧️ honestyforohioeducation.org/hb-68.html

@OSCA_tweets Liam Strausbaugh of @NASWOhioChapter: "As social workers, it is never our direct intention to leave parents or families out of a child's care, but it's crucial to remember that the child is our client, not the parents."
🚨HB 68 is up for a possible vote TOMORROW at 9am. This extreme bill undermines the freedom and safety of LGBTQ+ youth and their families. 🏛️Show up at the Statehouse tomorrow and voice your opposition to this bill. #ProtectTransYouth 🏳️⚧️ ✍️Take action: action.aclu.org/send-message/p…
Liam Strausbaugh, @NASWOhioChapter: "Standards are already in place to ensure that mental health professionals working with youth are obtaining parental consent for services; adding additional stipulations only for gender-diverse youth is discriminatory."
⚠️TAKE ACTION ⚠️H.B. 68, which would ban gender-affirming care for minors AND trans women and girls from playing school sports, is having a hearing for opponent testimony (that’s us!) Weds., Dec. 6 at 3 p.m. The committee may also vote on the bill. Here's what you should do: ⬇️
This is happening in Warren, Ohio. A pathologist testified that Brittany Watts had been to the hospital twice and the fetus was going to be nonviable. Yet the case will still bound over to a grand jury. wkbn.com/news/local-new…
🚨SB 83 public testimony hearing has been rescheduled for next Wednesday, November 29.🚨 Please read committee notice below for more info.
Social workers are at the Statehouse all day to protect ethical mental health care with @NASWOhioChapter Stop HB8 & HB68 Protect gender affirming care!

Anyone who claims SB 83 promotes free speech doesn't understand what the bill would actually do or is willfully misleading. #StopSB83 #NoOnSB83
⚠️TAKE ACTION ⚠️ Help stop 2 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills from moving through the legislature this week. HB 8 (forced outing/censorship of LGBTQIA+ content in classrooms) may pass out of the Senate Ed Committee and Senate floor, and HB 183 (bathroom ban) may pass out of the House.
@NASWOhioChapter Liam continued: "By requiring forced outings of students, Ohio schools will be implementing hostile environment harassment as well as sex-based harassment, both of which are prohibited by federal Title IX regulations."
@TransAlliesOhio Maria Bruno of @EqualityOhio is up next, calling the bill an explicit "don't say gay" policy that would put teachers in "an impossible situation." "Whatever good intentions this bill had went out the window when it was amended to specifically target LGBTQ students," she said.
Liam Strausbaugh with @NASWOhioChapter: "Mandating that school support staff report a child’s innermost thoughts and feelings to parents can be incredibly damaging to a child’s therapeutic process and would discourage youth from sharing anything at all with support staff."
We're here for the Ohio Senate Education Committee hearing on Ohio House Bill 8. You can follow along on this thread, or watch live at ohiochannel.org/live/ohio-sena….
Here's how to help stop H.B. 8:
Liam from @NASWOhioChapter testifies: "requiring school social workers to share any changes to a student’s mental and emotional well-being, negates much of the value of the safe confidential space that mental health services are intended to create for clients of all ages."

Thrilled to announce our support for an initiative by @NASWOhioChapter! Council President @SG_Hardin and Councilmember Melissa Green are backing a program aimed at equipping mental health professionals to provide better support for transgender youth. #SupportTransYouth
We're at the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services this morning to testify against proposed administrative rule changes impacting gender-affirming care. We're joined by @EqualityOhio @acluohio @transohio @TransAlliesOhio @ProChoiceOH @NASWOhioChapter + more.
Your input is valuable and will help inform the agencies’ decisions. So, whether you can testify during the hearings on March 18 and March 21 or can submit written testimony, please contribute your feedback! Learn more and read the proposals at KYCOhio.org/advocacy.
During #SocialWorkMonth, it was great to meet with @NASWOhioChapter professionals and students at their annual Statehouse Advocacy Day to discuss how best to support Ohio’s vulnerable children, patients, and the recruitment & retention of more social workers.
The SB 83 brain drain applies to students as much as faculty. Students have been invoked as a reason to pass this bill, but the student voice has been loud and clear that they don't want any part of it. #StopSB83

A reminder that SB 83 is the worst attack on collective bargaining rights since SB 5 in 2011. Any lawmaker who supports SB 83 is emphatically anti-union. #StopSB83
