Dear Friend!
At Ohio Citizen Action, we believe in the power of people
to create lasting change. As we face critical challenges in
our state, from redistricting to protecting democracy, your
involvement is more important than ever.
Today, we are excited to introduce you to the incredible new staff
members who have joined our team, bringing fresh energy, diverse
experiences, and unwavering dedication to our mission.
Meet the team that will help drive our grassroots engine:
Scott Palider, Chief Political
Officer
A native of Northeast Ohio, Scott's
political career began with the Obama for America campaign in 2012.
His experience spans from local mayoral races in San Francisco to
advocacy efforts with The American Legion Department of Ohio. Scott's
victories in preventing nursing home abuse and securing public school
funding through Ohio's Fair School Funding plan demonstrate his
commitment to justice and community service.
Ashlee Boatman, Toledo Canvass
Director
Ashlee's four years of organizing experience with the Michigan
Education Justice Coalition and Defense of Democracy prepared her to
advocate for mental health resources, clean air filtration in schools,
the rights of LGBTQ+ students, and more. Her dedication to public
education and safeguarding the rights of all students makes her a
powerful force for change.
Sabrina Jordan, Dayton Canvass
Director
Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, Sabrina has dedicated her life to
community service and advocacy. After a tragic loss, she founded
Breaking the Cycle (BTC) and Ohio Families Unite Against Police
Brutality (OFUAPB), organizations committed to supporting low-income
neighborhoods and ending police brutality. Sabrina's strength,
resilience, and passion for justice make her an invaluable addition to
our team.
Taylor Prise, Cincinnati Canvass
Director
With over eight years experience in
social justice, Taylor transitioned from art therapy and community
mental health to voter engagement and political activism. Her
commitment to reproductive freedom, gender, and racial justice, and
empowering communities is inspiring. Taylor's enthusiasm for mentoring
new organizers and championing the rights of working-class Ohioans is
perfect for her role in guiding our field canvassers.
This is
people power in action!
Your involvement can make a real difference in our efforts to build
a stronger, more equitable Ohio. By supporting Ohio Citizen Action,
you are helping to ensure that every Ohioan can vote in their own best
interests and that our democracy remains strong. Together, we can
advance the public interest in ways that pay off in everyday life.
We invite you to join us in welcoming Sabrina, Taylor, Ashlee, and
Scott to the Ohio Citizen Action team by making a contribution
today.
Your support is crucial as we
ramp up our electoral organizing and voter registration
efforts.
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps keep our
grassroots engine running.
Thank you for believing in the power of people and for standing
with us in this important work.
