Dear Friend,

Since we launched our Vote No in August campaign canvass on May 11, we have knocked on over 50,000 doors! 

Issue 1 threatens the fundamental principle of one person, one vote, eroding our power to determine the direction of our state by imposing a 60% voting threshold for passing Constitutional Amendments and increasing the difficulty of placing issues on the ballot.

Our canvassers have been working across Ohio educating people about the upcoming special election; why they should vote against Issue 1; and explaining their options to vote.

We are also calling voters to let them know about the election and to make sure they are aware of recent changes to Ohio’s voter ID laws.

We are so grateful to supporters like you for helping to make this outreach possible

Here’s the challenge: We must continue recruiting, hiring and training staff and volunteers these crucial last twenty days before the election.

$50 reaches 25 people at their door with our "Vote No in August" message. This covers training, transportation, and campaign materials. So, your $50 investment translates into hundreds of voters ready to cast their ballots in support of democracy!

Friend, thousands of voters across the state need that added incentive to get out to vote.  Please act now to sponsor a canvasser today >>

It’s been amazing to see the difference our trained and dedicated canvassers have already made.

With your help, we’ll be able to build on those successes — strengthening our democracy through voter participation, and building a better future for us all.


Watch the live debate on Issue 1

“Your Local Election Headquarters: Ohio Issue 1 Debate” will take place on Tuesday, July 25, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET, at the studios of WCMH-TV NBC4 in Columbus, and will be telecast and live-streamed throughout the state.

Early Voting is in full swing in Ohio

We held an early voting kickoff party in Akron on July 11. Speakers included Councilman Shammas Malik, Jen Miller from League of Women Voters, Ciara Vinzant from Freedom BLOC, Dave Prentice from the Tri-County Regional Labor Council and our Campaigns Organizer Tatiana Rodzos.

Early voting continues from 8 a.m.to 5 p.m. weekdays this week and next, then extended hours start on July 31 through August 6. If you plan to vote absentee requests are due by August 1. Make a plan to vote.

Thank you for all of your incredible enthusiasm and support,

P.S. Please send us a photo of your yard sign or of you with your "I voted" sticker. Or you can post it on social media and tag us:
