2025 Membership Drive

published by Cheryl Grossman on Wed, 07/20/2016 - 00:23

UAPA began in 2004 and continues to help elect progressive candidates to all levels of government.  We do this by organizing educational programs, debate watch parties, our website and newsletter, as well as by notifying volunteers of opportunities to help campaigns, making contributions, and offering yard signs and bumper stickers that enable progressives to “take a stand”.

Election Retrospective

published by Cheryl Grossman on Thu, 12/05/2024 - 22:22

While we are still reeling from the results of the general election many of us are reflecting on why we did not capture so many of our state races and Issue 1. While we understood that Ohio voters would likely lean, once again, to the Republican presidential candidate, we still felt hopeful that our hard-working senator, Sherrod Brown would still prevail and that the sensible Issue 1 redistricting proposal would gain a majority of voters. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen for a variety of reasons.

Story Archive - 2023

The year was exhausting: from March to June, Protect Choice Ohio petition collection to enshrine reproductive rights in the Ohio Constitution; from July to August 8th, fight off Issue 1 which was designed to make it impossible to pass citizen-led Constitutional amendments (No on Issue 1 on August 8th); followed by the effort to pass reproductive rights (Yes on Issue 1 on November 7th) while also endorsing for UA school board and city council candidates. Signs, postcards, canvassing, oh my!
