Stop the Anti-Trans Sports Ban: HB61/SB187
Take Action: Call Senate President Huffman!
In just a couple minutes, you can make a powerful impact. Legislators take calls from people very seriously.
Please call Senator Matt Huffman at (614) 466-7584. He is the President of the Ohio Senate, so he can stop this bill from moving forward. Since this issue impacts all Ohioans, he needs to hear from all of us, regardless of your district.
You will likely speak to an aide, or if it’s after hours, you’ll leave a voicemail.
Say something like this:
My name is [name] and I am calling to ask Senate President Huffman to stop the anti-trans sports ban from moving forward. The bill HB61 has been amended into SB187 and the Senate should not concur with this version of the bill. Please stop this bill from moving forward to give people a chance to have their voices heard.
