Our heads are still reeling from the insurrection of last week and we are witnessing another attempt to impeach trump. It seems overwhelming, (and it is) but at the core of it all, we are still challenged to do the work that helps prevent the events of these past six weeks from ever happening again. As one of the largest grassroots political groups in Ohio,we want to hear from you as we make plans to move forward. What do you think is most important? How are you able to help?
Share your ideas by taking just a few minutes tocomplete this brief survey and return it before Inauguration Day, Jan 20.
What is playing out in our country and our state would not be possible without the extremist views and hyper-loyalty of many of our elected officials. How do these representatives in Congress and in the Ohio Statehouse continue to get re-elected? How is it that Larry Householder under investigation for a $61million bribery scandal is still a voting member of the Ohio House? How can five Ohio Congressmen deny facts and oppose the election of Joe Biden? Why was no action taken by our statehouse to address gun violence after the Dayton massacre and instead passed stand your ground last month? The answer is gerrymandering... and in Ohio, our once in a decade chance to fix this problem is coming up.
Attend one (or all) of the events below to understand more about the redistricting process.
Reminder about how Gerrymandering works
