Policy Matters Ohio fights for policies that create a more vibrant, equitable, sustainable and inclusive Ohio. Here is what we are working for right now:

Working Ohioans should be treated with dignity and paid fairly.

• On Labor Day we released the State of Working Ohio report full of data on how working Ohioans are doing AND policy solutions.
• We coordinate and support Ohio’s developing network of worker centers as they as they build power for and with low-wage and immigrant workers in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati.

The people doing well in Ohio should do right by Ohio by paying what they truly owe in taxes.

• Through research and advocacy, we are pushing to end the LLC tax loophole in Ohio that redirects $1 billion a year away from our communities.
• Our work with the All In for Ohio’s Kids (AOK) Coalition achieved a Fair School Funding expansion in the current state budget and continues to fight for an equitable and permanent fix.

We spend our shared resources in ways that benefit all of us.

• Our research and coalition work on Care Response advocates for a health-first approach to public safety that meets the needs of people in crisis.
• Ohio's Family Budget report shares budget and policy solutions to improve the quality of life for children and families.
• As a leader in the Dignity for All Coalition, we are advancing policies that provide security and stability for all Ohioans.
