Hicks-Hudson Receives the Ohio Access to Justice Foundation's Voice of Justice Award

This week, state Senator Paula Hicks-Hudson (D-Toledo) was awarded the 2026 Voice of Justice Award by the Ohio Access to Justice Foundation. 

“I am very honored and humbled to receive the 2026 Voice of Justice Award presented by the Ohio Access to Justice Foundation,” said Hicks-Hudson. “This honor is a testament to all the people I have worked with over the years to help make Ohio better for every family and citizen and to ensure every Ohioan has access to the justice they deserve.”

The Ohio Access to Justice Foundation, founded in 1993, is a statewide nonprofit organization. The Foundation’s mission is to ensure that Ohioans who are low-income or who lack access can fully and fairly participate in civil systems that produce just outcomes. 

The Foundation created the Voice of Justice Award in 2015 to recognize a person or organization that demonstrates outstanding leadership and advocacy on behalf of low-income Ohioans who may need legal assistance to live stable, healthy, and financially secure lives.
