Party members who are part of the LGBTQ+ community are currently laying the groundwork to launch the Ohio Democratic Party’s newest constituency group, the Pride Caucus. Their goal is to create a network of volunteers, advocates, organizers, candidates, donors and voters across Ohio to advance issues important to all of us.
In the coming weeks, Pride Caucus organizers will be hosting opportunities via Zoom of LGBTQ+ Ohioans who are interested in this new endeavor. While they already have amassed a long list of community and party activists, they are committed to making sure that the new Pride Caucus includes Democrats from every part of our state.
Our new ODP Pride Caucus will help amplify the voice of LGBTQ+ Ohioans and offer them a community-centered vehicle to become more active in campaigns and elections. It has great potential to help Democrats up and down the ballot in every part of our state.

Hello Ohio Democrats! The Ohio Democratic Party’s Main Street Initiative is partnering with LEAD Ohio PAC and on a campaign management bootcamp for Democrats across Southwest Ohio. From Dayton to Cincinnati, Oxford to Hillsboro, Batavia to Springfield, all are welcome.
Register here for this in-person training, which will be held on Saturday, April 29 in Warren County from approximately 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Once you are accepted, you will receive the location, full schedule, and other materials. This training is free and lunch is provided.
This training will cover topics like: planning your campaign, crafting your message and narrative as a candidate, fundraising, engaging with the media and getting your message out via various communications channels, direct voter contact and field organizing, and more.
Because each event has a fixed number of spots, priority will go to to candidates, staff, and volunteers who plan to get involved in 2023 campaigns, though we also welcome potential future candidates, party activists and volunteers, and other good Democrats who want to get involved to register as well. We will begin sending out acceptances on a rolling basis on April 14.
Join LGBTQ+ leaders from across the state to formally take action to develop the ODP Pride Caucus. All Ohio Democratic activists interested in advocating for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer folks are encouraged to attend. From elected officials, to campaign volunteers to community organizers and, all people in between, all are welcome and encouraged to join us. Our meeting agenda includes business that needs to be officially completed with ODP Chair Liz Walters, networking and chatting on plans for this new caucus. Cash bar will be available.

With the recent onslaught of state laws across the country targeting abortion and reproductive rights, we must proactively affirm reproductive freedom for everyone. That begins with what we say and how we say it.
Whether you are a candidate, a campaign staffer, or a local leader it is important to understand the current status of access to reproductive healthcare in communities across the country and how attacks on these rights affect those in your community.
This panel will discuss how to discuss and message around reproductive health and abortion with voters by holding values-based conversations and facts. Panelists will discuss how you can combat anti-choice rhetoric and work to preserve access to reproductive rights in your community.
Our panelists include:
Ashley Aylward is a Research Manager at HIT Strategies, where she specializes in policing reform, reproductive justice, and young voters. Alongside her work she is currently progressing towards her Master’s in Data Analytics and Policy with a concentration in political behavior at Johns Hopkins University.
Rachel Sweet is an independent ballot measure consultant based in Kansas City, Missouri. In 2022, Rachel served as the Campaign Manager for two critical abortion rights ballot measure campaigns– Kansans for Constitutional Freedom and Protect Kentucky Access.
And this discussion will be moderated by NDTC’s Allyson Raines. Allyson joined NDTC in 2019 as the Chief Operating Officer. Her passion for equitable access to healthcare led her to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund where she spent 8 years fighting for reproductive health care.
