Thanks to the incredible efforts of our community - from those who collected physical signatures this weekend to everyone who signed, shared, and promoted the cause online - we’ve officially surpassed 100 collective signatures on the petition! Most petitions gather only 20-50 signatures in their first week, and we’ve already doubled that. Thank you to each and every person for stepping up and showing you care.

To clarify: these funding cuts are happening at the federal level, impacting communities nationwide. While this petition is focused on Ohio decision-makers, our collective voice can help spark broader change over time.

We’ve set a big goal: 1,000 signatures in 12 weeks - and we’re already 10% there in less than a week!

Let’s keep the momentum going and aim for 200 signatures by the end of this weekend!

Please continue to share, post, and stay vigilant. The Lord says to love our neighbor as ourselves - and sometimes that means taking action for others, even when it doesn’t directly impact us.

If you’d like a paper version to collect signatures in your community, let me know!

Thank you all again for your time, energy, and willingness to stand up for those in need. Together, we can make a difference!
