Grammy-winning artist John Legend visiting Cincinnati for rally against Issue 1 Tuesday
Twelve-time Grammy-winning artist John Legend will visit Cincinnati Tuesday.
As part of a One Person One Vote rally, Legend – an Ohio native – will appear at 4702 Montgomery Road, across from the Hamilton County Board of Elections, from noon to 1 p.m., encouraging others to vote against Issue 1 during the state's special election Aug 8. Innovation Ohio, a progressive political organization, posted about the event Saturday via Facebook.
In May, House Republicans passed a resolution 62-37 that, if approved by voters, would increase the voter threshold to enact new constitutional amendments from a simple majority to 60%.
Abortion rights advocates are working to put a ballot question before Ohio voters in November that would enshrine abortion access and other reproductive rights in the constitution. Republican officials have openly said Issue 1 aims, in part, to keep that issue from passing.
Legend is from Springfield, Ohio.
