Hi, all! Here’s your weekly dose of positive news—just in time for the (crazy) week likely to come! Drink it all in; know that you helped make some of it possible; know that your hard work taking simple actions is helping to build future victories, and I’m proud of you for that.
I live in Ohio and I'm working on the petition drive for reproductive choice. Thank you for celebrating the Ballot Board's unanimous approval. Just one small correction: it will be on the 2023 ballot, if we get the 500,000 signatures we need in at least 44 of Ohio's 88 counties. (We can't wait until 2024 to give women back their rights!)
Ohio is making it more difficult to get abortion rights on the ballot by requiring a higher percentage of signatures and making it more difficult to get those signatures.
Thanks for the link to the article about the Willow project. It looks to be interesting. The problem is the Atlantic has a pay wall. Any way to get around this?

All good, Jess! Thank you so much for helping us stay upbeat and up-to-date. Looking forward to a strong week for democracy.
Regarding the woman who couldn't define "woke", this is a great article from Salon:

Good morning, Jessica! I think I hear your voice in this piece about Tik Tok! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-daily/id1200361736?i=1000604946305
The Atlantic article is behind a paywall. Would you mind giving some of its highlights?
No. They vote on the signature thing on 3/22. Common Cause is holding a rally to protest it.
