Grim.<\/p>\n<p>RAINN provided the following statement, &#8220;State Rep. Michele Grim has been honored with RAINN&#8217;s Legislator Award in recognition of her steadfast advocacy for survivors of sexual violence in Ohio. Rep. Grim championed the bipartisan Ohio Safe Homes Act (HB 855), co-sponsored with Rep. Melanie Miller, which gives survivors of rape, dating violence, and sexually oriented offenses the right to break a lease or change their locks so they can safely leave a harmful home. Her commitment to survivors is unwavering, and her fight for their rights to recovery and justice is unyielding. \u00a0Rep. Grim&#8217;s work reflects exactly the kind of leadership this award celebrates: turning survivors&#8217; needs into practical, lifesaving policy.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special to The Truth Rep.
