 Action Needed

Vote Yes on Issue 1 to End Gerrymangering in Ohio. The official web page in support of Issue 1 is citizensnotpoliticians.org The goal of issue 1 is to stop politicians from drawing the voting district maps in Ohio to benefit one political party over others so that even a party with a minority of voters could hold a majority of the seats in the legislative branch.

Summary of how to “join” the Ohio Green Party

How to join up and get involved in the Green Party in Ohio depends on where you live in Ohio. If you live in a county with an official Green Party you can join them at anytime. If you live in an area that is near an organized Green Party you could join in activities with the organized county or get their help to organize in your own County. All of the Ohio County Green Parties welcome folks who are not official Green Party members, but there are certain rules as to how this works from a legal point-of-view.

More specific information is contained in this link How to become an official member of Ohio Green Party.
