We are hosting a Twitter Storm on Saturday, Aug. 6, at 1:00pm.
We demand a better future for Ohio. That means going all in and fighting for fair district maps that protect our freedom to vote and represent all our communities. Fair maps also protect our families. They ensure excellent schools, safe neighborhoods, and the basic right to make our own medical/bodily decisions – no matter our race or income. Fair maps protect our basic freedoms.
Our vote is our power. We pick our leaders, not the other way around.
As Ohioans, we have the power to elect leaders who can best represent us. We see through the harmful lies being spread by Ohio Republicans and their useless tricks to divide us. That’s why this fall, we’re joining together in our communities to use our power to vote.
We encourage you to join us in tweeting on Saturday. Below we have included draft posts that you can customize.
We also ask you to consider joining us for a free breakfast and voter training session at the Sheraton in Capitol Square. Register below.

Voting Rights - Facts and Tips
The goal of the non-partisan election protection program, known as the Ohio Election Protection program, is to ensure Ohio voters have the information they need in order to cast their ballot. They work to minimize barriers to the ballot box, particularly for under-represented communities
You do not lose the right to vote if you are convicted of a misdemeanor in Ohio. If you are incarcerated for a misdemeanor you should check voter registration status, register to vote if necessary, and request an absentee ballot from office administrators at your complex.
You can vote while awaiting trial for any charge, even if incarcerated, as long as you have not lost your right to vote due to a prior conviction.
You lose the right to vote while incarcerated if you are convicted of a felony. If you are on parole, probation, or have fully completed your sentence, you may register to vote and cast a ballot.
Please check your voter registration!
The Ohio Secretary of State supports voters with registration, a list of polling locations, and contacts for each county's board of elections.
Find your polling location, track your ballot and check your voter registration with their Voter Toolkit.
