We're calling on freedom fighters across the country to join us in Ohio from June 10-17 for one final push to qualify a history-making criminal justice reform amendment for the ballot.

The Ohio Organizing Collaborative and our partners are collecting hundreds of thousands of signatures from Ohio voters in support of an initiative that will keep our family, friends, and neighbors suffering from drug addiction out of the prison system, saving us money to invest in resources and treatment to help our communities thrive. We're almost there, but we need your help!

We are calling on our out-of-state allies to join us for a Week of Action in June to collect signatures in the ring counties bordering Ohio's urban centers. We will train and deploy volunteers in the historic tradition and strategy of “Freedom Summer” of 1964 (also called the Mississippi Summer Project), when volunteers from across the country descended on Mississippi to register an unprecedented number of Black voters.

For five days during the Week of Action, we will train partners and Ohioans together before canvasses on nonviolent direct action and centering practices in preparation for collecting signatures in the most socially and politically segregated counties in the state. We'll finish the week off with two days of signature collection at Columbus's Pride Festival, an event that typically draws close to 1,000,000 people.
