Ohio Organizing Collaborative (OOC)

Ohio Organizing Collaborative (OOC) is an innovative alliance of grassroots groups, labor unions, faith congregations, and student activists across Ohio. With a mission to build a multi-racial populist coalition, OOC organizes campaigns on issues from voting rights and fair districting to criminal justice reform. A hallmark of OOC’s approach is convening “people’s town halls” and issue forums in communities statewide – whether it’s a Safe Schools Town Hall in Columbus or a virtual forum on an upcoming ballot initiative​:contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}​:contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}. These gatherings allow everyday Ohioans to share their stories and demands directly with policymakers and candidates. By mobilizing citizens in public actions and statewide days of action, OOC has helped pass reforms like police accountability measures and has fought back against voter suppression.
