UUJO will hold it's Spring Gathering online, via Zoom, due to the COVID-19 virus.  Together, we will explore a number of the issues addressed in the coming fall 2020 election and the need for voter advocacy, election protection, and support networks to Get-Out-The-Vote. We will discuss how UUJO and congregations with UU The Vote are working together with partners in the Ohio Voter Rights Coalition.

Presenters:
Susan Leslie – How “UU The Vote” and how congregations can organize to register people. Director of UUA Office of Advocacy and Witness in Boston.

Rev. Dr. Susan Smith – Election Protection and how we can work together in Ohio to protect our right to vote in the face of suppressive realities that threaten our democracy. Director of Crazy Faith Ministries in Columbus and Communications Coordinator of Samuel Dewitt Proctor Conference.

Maria Bruno – The nuts and bolts of voter registration in Ohio and past and present trends. Director of Ohio Votes in Columbus.
