Equalizing All Hiring Barriers

Our goal is to pass Senate Bill 11. Senate Bill 11 will require Ohio state contractors to follow civil rights laws preventing discrimination in hiring many critical factors. This bill will prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and or sexual expression. This means that individuals, no matter what their sexual orientation, can not be discriminated against when being considered for a job. This will help unemployment rates drops tremendously. This action will cause people to feel more comfortable in their skin, and it will promote acceptance. This bill will help improve a sense of security as these individuals can feel accepted in their own communities and their businesses. Not only will it give more jobs to people in need, but it will give people more access to resources for jobs, networking opportunities, and, most of all, it will make job hunting grounds equal for all.

Senate Bill 11 is about Civil Rights. It is about laws preventing specific people from being able to obtain a job. Everyone needs a job to survive, especially with the prices of living getting higher every day. With people not getting a job, it brings stress and frustration to anyone in the situation. This is why individuals, no matter their race, color, religion, sex, age, or disability, should be able to get a job because if they do not get a job, their livelihood will continue to be stripped away.
