Join the Buckeye Justice Forum, a project of LEAD Ohio and the LEAD Ohio Foundation, for the next event in their Speaker Series: Open Courts & Social Trust – How Data Transparency Can Improve Ohio’s Justice System
The presentation will take place on Tuesday, June 20, 2023 from 12:00 PM to 1:10 PM. Registrants will receive a link for the presentation the week of the event. This is a virtual seminar that will be held over Zoom.
Hear from experts in the field with varying perspectives on how proper collection, coherent aggregation, and easy availability of reliable and comprehensive court data can serve as a critical tool for improving our courts and our criminal legal system.
This discussion will cover the role of data transparency in building trust between the public and the courts, the real and direct harms experienced by people navigating the criminal punishment system without adequate information, and how visibility into previously insular spaces can help communities in Ohio and beyond to identify and address bias and unfairness in our criminal legal system.
Join Ohio Supreme Court Justice Michael P. Donnelly, Professor Ayesha Bell Hardaway, and Professor Shin-Chun Steven Chien for a moderated discussion of current issues in court data management and accessibility, the status of the movement to bring transparency to our courts, and the challenges faced by advocates working to bring the realities of our legal system into the light.
Join former Ohio Governor Bob Taft and former state legislator and longtime Columbus Dispatch editor Michael Curtin in Dayton on June 27 for a bipartisan discussion hosted by the League of Women Voters of the Greater Dayton Area, centered on the potential impacts of August’s historic Issue 1 vote.
The event will be moderated by Dayton Daily News Community Impact Editor Nick Hrkman.
This forum is free and open to the public. If you’d like to make reservations, contact the League at league@lwvdayton.org or 937-228-4041. A recording of the program will be available via the League’s website.
Issue 1 is undemocratic, unfair, unpopular, and unnecessary. If the corrupt Ohio Republicans manage to sneak it past the voters in their August special election for special interests, it be more difficult for We The People of Ohio to amend our own state constitution.
The Ohio Voter Rights Coalition is reaching out to assure that everyone knows about the One Person One Vote Community Meeting in Cincinnati.
Please bring a friend, family member, or neighbor to this free community meeting where we’ll talk about how Issue 1 takes power away from the people of Ohio and gives it to unaccountable, corrupt Columbus career politicians — and what we can do to protect the sacred American principle of majority rule.

With the recent onslaught of state laws across the country targeting abortion and reproductive rights, we must proactively affirm reproductive freedom for everyone. That begins with what we say and how we say it.
Whether you are a candidate, a campaign staffer, or a local leader it is important to understand the current status of access to reproductive healthcare in communities across the country and how attacks on these rights affect those in your community.
This panel will discuss how to discuss and message around reproductive health and abortion with voters by holding values-based conversations and facts. Panelists will discuss how you can combat anti-choice rhetoric and work to preserve access to reproductive rights in your community.
Our panelists include:
Ashley Aylward is a Research Manager at HIT Strategies, where she specializes in policing reform, reproductive justice, and young voters. Alongside her work she is currently progressing towards her Master’s in Data Analytics and Policy with a concentration in political behavior at Johns Hopkins University.
Rachel Sweet is an independent ballot measure consultant based in Kansas City, Missouri. In 2022, Rachel served as the Campaign Manager for two critical abortion rights ballot measure campaigns– Kansans for Constitutional Freedom and Protect Kentucky Access.
And this discussion will be moderated by NDTC’s Allyson Raines. Allyson joined NDTC in 2019 as the Chief Operating Officer. Her passion for equitable access to healthcare led her to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund where she spent 8 years fighting for reproductive health care.
