One quick note: Our next general meeting will be on Monday, February 20, as our usual Wednesday time slot was unavailable at the library.
Hey Comrade!
At least one group is pushing to put abortion access on the Ohio ballot during the November 2023 election. While some groups feel this does not allow enough time to organize, we nevertheless feel it is important to pursue and protect access to safe, legal, on-demand abortion. This is where you come in.
Making the ballot will require nearly 450,000 signatures across at least 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties. Will you help collect signatures? Please click here to let us know if you are interested in joining in this cause. This is not binding. We are simply trying to gauge interest and capacity at this time to see if we can commit as a chapter. Even if we do not commit formally as a chapter, you can of course volunteer as an individual. You can click here to learn how to do so, as well as more about the main sponsor of this initiative, Protect Choice Ohio.
In other news, our first Communications Committee meeting of the year will be February 16th at 6 p.m. on Zoom. Please attend if you’re interested in writing, graphics, social media, or if you just want to hear and discuss what we have going on in the future. You can RSVP here.
We’ve also been discussing rebooting political education. Members, please let us know if you’re interested in Slack!
In solidarity,
Akron DSA
