We WIN When...We Support Equity in Our Communities
June is Pride Month

     During June, we’ve been able to gather together as a community, mostly all vaccinated, to celebrate Juneteenth and Pride. We’ve embraced our differences and worked at increasing our understanding. But Juneteenth and Pride have also pointed out how much work we have yet to do. READ MORE

We WIN When...We understand what it is to be a Democrat in 2022

     It means coming back to the table time and time again until legislation can be passed to help the American people recover from this pandemic. It means staying focused on the work that remains to be done for the common good, while celebrating the significant work already accomplished. Democrats invest in infrastructure, meaningful employment, quality education, and the American people. We cheer for the wins and we mourn the losses. Democrats agree to disagree and listen with open minds. We support our neighbors, not only our family and friends. Democrats show up ready to lend a hand. We work together to make life easier for all of those around us and we understand what actual assistance truly is...read more

We WIN When...We Gather Together

    The struggle for equality in our society won’t be won through any one momentous bill, or any one momentous step--we know only too well.

It is chanting in the hallways demanding to be heard. It is submitting written testimony, emails and endless phone calls. It is all the times we’ve stood outside locked rooms or have been locked outside buildings, but have continued to disrupt their hidden agendas. It is the times we have delayed votes or pushed some horrific bills ultimately to their death. Most recently it is the hundreds of us across our state who have answered the call and organized to collect hundreds of thousands of signatures to protect the rights of women in Ohio....read more

We WIN When...We Embrace Our Strength in Numbers

March is Women’s History Month

     Since our country’s founding, women have been the force behind positive change. We have been at the center of creativity and innovation. Although we have largely been written out of the history books, it was women who often made advances in science, medicine, architecture, engineering and many more male-dominated professions. It took large groups of courageous and tenacious women and years of struggle to change how our roles are seen.....read more
