Ban Conversion Therapy
Call Chair Huffman: End Conversion Therapy in Ohio!
In just a couple minutes, you can make a powerful impact. Legislators take calls from people very seriously.
Please call Senator Steve Huffman at (614) 466-6247. He is the chair of the Ohio Senate Health Committee, so he can decide whether to advance the SB50 and protect Ohio’s youth from conversion therapy. 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 that Senator Huffman hold a hearing for Senate Bill 50, which will protect Ohio’s youth from the harmful practice of so-called “conversion therapy”, so it can move through the legislative process.
