July 5th marks 33 days out from August 8th. With so much on the line in this special election, we cordially invite you to hear Senator Sherrod Brown and Chairwoman Liz Walters speak about the Ohio Democratic Party’s successes in the Vote NO campaign thus far. Moreover, we’ll brief you about the many ways you can get involved in our organizing efforts to ensure that every Democrat in Ohio gets out the “NO” vote. We truly need all hands on deck to combat this existential threat to the progressive values we all hold dear.
We have a detailed document breaking down Ohio budget proposal measures, with links to resources to understand terms and procedures, as well as detailing the partisan actions the Statehouse Republicans are trying to enact to strip basic freedoms, protections, and benefits from Ohio’s vulnerable and needy populations. It also provides links on who to contact regarding voicing your opinion on budget measures.
