What’s the Matter With Ohio? Community Organizing in Politically Contested Places
Monday, October 1; 2:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m.
Tuesday, October 2; 9:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m.

Join community leaders and organizers from Ohio ACORN, ACTION, SEIU Local 3 and others to hear about the battle of Ohio—not between the Democrats and Republicans, but the battle to take advantage of opportunities in a politically contested state to win on big issues such as minimum wage and universal health care. Learn how the lessons of Ohio can help you make strategic grants for organizing in your state.
