OHIO SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST SECRETARY OF STATE

This month, the Ohio Supreme Court upheld the democratic rights of
citizens. Ohio’s Secretary of State attempted to block three community
rights county charter initiatives from a vote by the people, claiming
"unfettered authority" to do so. The initiatives included bans on fracking
related activities. CELDF filed a challenge on behalf of community members
to restore the initiatives to the November ballot. Read CELDF’s press
release here

.

And in Youngstown, OH, the people’s constitutional right to vote on a
CELDF-drafted local Bill of Rights charter amendment initiative was upheld
by the Ohio Supreme Court. The Court ruled that the Mahoning County Board
of Elections did not have the authority to keep the citizen-sponsored
initiative off the ballot. Read CELDF's press release here

GOVERNMENT & GAS INDUSTRY TEAM UP AGAINST LOCAL FRACKING BANS IN OHIO

CELDF's work helping communities assert their rights in Ohio is growing -
and so are efforts to quash those rights. Investigative reporting by Simon
Davis-Cohen with the Earth Island Journal reveals Ohio state government
using taxpayer dollars to pay oil and gas industry law firms to stop people
from even voting on community rights laws banning fracking.  Check the
story out here

TRUTHOUT: SPOKANE’S WORKER BILL OF RIGHTS

Spokane, WA's Worker Bill of Rights asserts the right to community
decision-making over corporate claimed "rights" to call the shots. In this
Truthout article, CELDF's Kai Huschke states, "[The initiative is] about
actually shifting power away from those who currently hold it and do much
damage, and back into the people's hands." Check out Truthout’s coverage
