JB Pritzker AND Cory Booker
Surprise! We’re thrilled to announce our special guest speakers for Family Reunion 2024 — Governor JB Pritzker and U.S. Senator Cory Booker!
They’ve been steadfast fighters for working families and reproductive rights in their states and we’re excited for them to join us as we build momentum for November!
We are now 16 days away from the third annual Ohio Democrats Family Reunion on July 13th! Don’t miss your chance to mingle with fellow Ohio Dems, snap a selfie with Senator Booker, and maybe even down a shot of Malort with Gov. Pritzker at the Young Dems After Party (kidding!).
We hope you join us and Democrats from across the state on July 13th! Purchase your tickets below. 👇
Champion for Choice
Senator Sherrod Brown received the endorsement from Planned Parenthood and Reproductive Freedom for all.
Sherrod is a consistent fighter for Ohioans’ reproductive rights. That’s why he has the endorsement of key reproductive rights leaders.
In Other Exciting News
We’re excited to announce our endorsed candidates for the Ohio Supreme Court, Justices Michael Donnelly and Melody Stewart and Judge Lisa Forbes have all been endorsed by Planned Parenthood, too!
Make sure you show your support for them this November!
Two years since Roe was Overturned
Speaking of the Ohio Supreme Court, that race is already capturing the nation’s attention. As America mourned the 2nd anniversary of the Dobbs decision this week, all eyes were on Ohio. USA Today highlighted the stakes of the Ohio Supreme Court race with an informative video. Re-electing Justices Michael Donnelly and Melody Stewart and electing Judge Lisa Forbes will give Democrats control of the court, which has sweeping implications. A 5-4 Democratic majority will ensure fair implementation of Issue 1 and determine the future of abortion rights in our state, among many other issues. |
Two-Face Republicans
Two years after the Dobbs decision, Ohioans are still fighting to protect abortion rights in our state. While Ohioans overwhelmingly supported Issue 1 in November, Bernie Moreno is running for U.S. Senate and wants to overrule Ohio voters by passing a national abortion ban.
Bernie Moreno’s extreme stance on abortion is out of touch with Ohioans. He supports a national abortion ban, opposes exceptions even in cases of rape and incest, and donated $100,000 to defeat Issue 1.
When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, he called the decision a “monumental victory”. Despite the majority of Ohioans who believe abortion decisions should be between a patient and their doctor.
We deserve a U.S. Senator who will respect the will of the vast majority of Ohioans who overwhelmingly supported Issue 1 last year. And that’s why we’re working so hard to elect Sherrod Brown!
