POLITICIANS PAY ATTENTION
TO TWO THINGS…MONEY AND VOTES.

Our votes matter in every election. Ohio Unity Coalition focuses on issues our communities care about and we connect those issues to the importance of voting. We welcome your involvement with helping to increase the civic participation of black voters across Ohio.  We must register, educate and turnout more voters in order to maximize our impact and influence in elections and policy.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

National Voter Registration Day
TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 19th

 DOWNLOAD & SHARE
THE OHIO
EVENT FLYER 

The nation’s biggest nonpartisan civic holiday dedicated to getting every eligible American registered to vote when organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to local food banks and public libraries join forces for a nationwide democracy blitz to create broad awareness of voter registration opportunities through in-person events and virtual events, as well as digital, social, and traditional media outreach.  

​

In Ohio alone, more than HALF A MILLION ELIGIBLE BLACK PEOPLE ARE UNREGISTERED TO VOTE.   Join us, to make certain they have an opportunity to get registration ready as a key step to participating in the fall 2023 election. 

​

MORE THAN 124,000 Ohio VOTERS WERE PURGED IN 2023 and there are nearly 200,000 ELIGIBLE BLACK VOTERS WHO ARE NOT REGISTERED IN THE STATE.  

​

Let’s make sure everyone who wants to cast a ballot doesn’t miss the opportunity due to an easily accessible registration problem.  

This National Voter Registration Day, commit to:

  • Check you voter registration to make sure your info is up to date and accurate

  • Help a friend or family member verify their voter registration information

  • Share this info on how to check voter registration by posting on social media, texting and helping at in-person events.

Defending the right to vote is a constant battle but we WIN, by using our VOTE/VOICE on Election Day and beyond.  Our best key to access power is the ability to vote.

NVRD ACTION TOOLKIT

Take Two

During your Meeting/Service take two minutes to ask your members to www.ohiounity.org or scan the QR code to check their own registration to make certain it is accurate.

 

Have members pass out voter registration cards to anyone who needs to update their registration and collect them back before people leave.

​

MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT BEFORE YOUR MEETING ENDS TO COLLECT THEM BACK and encourage
