 About the Ohio Democratic Women’s Caucus

The Ohio Democratic Women’s Caucus (ODWC), a grassroots organization, works in full partnership with the Ohio Democratic Party.

The mission of the ODWC is to motivate, educate, empower and energize Democratic women by: recruiting women to run for office, increasing women’s leadership roles within Democratic politics and organizing women to elect Democrats at the local, state and national level.

In order to elect more women to office, the caucus will build a strong networking infrastructure of support for Democratic women by pursuing the following actions:

  • Advocate equitable representation and funding of Democratic women as it relates to candidate recruitment, senior positions within ODP, and appointments to serve on boards and commissions at all levels of government.
  • Develop informational programs on issues important to women and families.
  • Provide educational trainings and workshops.
  •  Facilitate statewide and regional networking opportunities.
  • Mobilize and take action on issues that impact: Equality, Economic Justice, Women’s Health and Reproductive Rights, Education, Diversity and Voters Rights.
