About the Class:

Adapted from Rachyl Coyle’s “How Things Work at the Statehouse” presentation, COLT CO offers this training on how a bill becomes a law in Ohio and how to advocate for your members. We’ll discuss the legislative process with a focus on the budget cycle, Ohio’s legislative makeup, and grassroots advocacy strategy for union members.
