Hi there,

This month, Democracy Now! marks 29 years of fearless independent journalism. Presidents have come, gone and come back again, but Democracy Now! remains, playing the same critical role in our democracy: shining a spotlight on corporate and government abuses of power and raising up the voices of scholars, advocates, scientists, activists, artists and ordinary people working for a more peaceful and just world. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today in honor of our 29th anniversary. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Ohio’s GOP Overturns Gov. DeWine’s Veto on Anti-Trans Legislation

HeadlineJan 25, 2024

The Ohio Senate voted to override Governor Mike DeWine’s veto of an anti-trans bill banning gender-affirming medical treatment for youth. The House also voted to override the Republican governor’s veto earlier this month. The law, which also bars transgender students from school sports, is set to go into effect in 90 days. The transgender advocacy group TransOhio said it has been in touch with dozens of families who feel under attack and plan to leave the state.
