This levy is vital to maintaining high-quality academics, school safety, and activities and athletics programs for all students. It will also support current staffing levels to maintain class sizes, allow the district to follow refresh plans for instructional materials (e.g. textbooks, ChromeBooks), and maintain and repair district equipment.

At our last meeting, Hannah Servedio from Pro-Choice Ohio gave us a great presentation on the work that Pro-Choice Ohio is doing and the messaging that they are getting out the population of Ohio in educating everyone that abortion is an issue for everyone to rally around. As she mentioned, they hold monthly training sessions called Ramp Up for Repro that engage and educate participants in how to address and advocate for reproductive rights issues. Whether you are new to repro work, or have been volunteering for a long time, this training is a great if way to get more information and deepen your commitment. Their monthly 90-minute Ramp Up for Repro trainings will further acquaint you with political advocacy tactics, repro lingo, and help you find your niche in the movement. Every month, they dive into movement ecology, abortion messaging, the current landscape of abortion access, and provide concrete steps for you to take action! Please consider attending and help us to solidify our messaging for this upcoming election season!
Register for the Wednesday, August 24th (6:00 pm) Ramp Up for Repro

Alternatives to Despair in Post-Roe Ohio
Via Zoom and In-Person at the Rocky River Library
This meeting is intended to educate and inform the group about life, activism, and options in post-Roe Ohio. Our speakers are well-versed in how to understand and combat the radical voices in the Federal government and Ohio Statehouse that are actively working to strip the rights and freedoms away from women, especially, and all Americans alike. Their insight will serve to help us analyze how exactly these draconian measures will manifest in our daily lives, how they restrict the basic freedoms we have come to rely on, and what we can do to fight back.
FEATURED SPEAKERS
Hannah Servedio, Pro-Choice Ohio

An enthusiastic volunteer herself, Hannah is a lead escort with a Northeast Ohio abortion clinic, a CASA/GAL with Summit County Juvenile Court and an active participant in a variety of additional causes she feels passionately about. She will speak to us about how to navigate the post-Roe environment in Ohio and the US, how we can help those affected by the ruling, how to message our cause effectively, and engage our electorate and looks forward to taking questions from the group.
