Oppose Senate Bill 53

Preview Below:

"I am writing to express my opposition to Senate Bill 53, a dangerous and unnecessary measure that undermines the constitutional rights of Ohioans while granting law enforcement unchecked authority.

SB 53 would expand civil liability for individuals and organizations that support protests, allowing them to be held financially responsible for property damage they did not commit. It shifts the burden of proof onto the accused, violating due process protections and threatening to silence advocacy groups, grassroots organizers, and community organizations.

This bill is not about safety—it is about control. By removing local government oversight of law enforcement, SB 53 strips elected officials of the ability to hold police accountable for their actions during protests. This dangerous expansion of power could lead to unchecked police responses, increased harm to community members, and violations of constitutional rights without any local recourse.

SB 53 is not just a bill—it is an attack on the right to protest and organize for justice. It is an attempt to criminalize dissent, silence communities, and weaponize law enforcement against those demanding change.

The people of Ohio deserve a democracy where their voices can be heard without fear of retaliation. I urge you to oppose SB 53 and stand with your constituents in protecting the First Amendment and local governance."
