Welcome to Red Wine & Blue Ohio

All Ohioans deserve to have the freedom to make choices regarding their bodies, and we will continue to advocate for bodily autonomy for everyone in our state.

Many of the state laws impacted by the reproductive rights ballot initiative we passed in 2023 are winding their way through the courts. They will likely head all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court. We’ll keep you informed by sharing updates about any legal decisions made in Columbus that impact our reproductive freedom.

We’re also working with our coalition partners to share resources about how the recently passed bathroom bans will be enacted in our schools.

Public education is under attack in Ohio. From the budget fight and expanded private school voucher funding to the passing of legislation that will impact diversity, equity and inclusion from kindergarten to grad school — extremists are trying to defund and reshape public schools. We’re working with our coalition partners to help you understand how these policy changes will impact your local districts.

Being informed about who is currently serving on your school board and what decisions are being made is a great first step to make sure that you’re ready to vote in November. With our Rally tool, you’ll be able to easily share information with your friends and family to make sure they understand the importance of these local school board races.

Right now, we’re taking action by helping to gather signatures for a ballot referendum to roll back the Higher Education Destruction Act (SB 1) that was pushed quickly through the legislature in early 2025 and signed by Governor DeWine.

We’ve all watched as extremists in Columbus have created barriers to voting for so many Ohioans. Whether it’s ID requirements or changes to the way you can return absentee ballots, they’re making it more challenging every year to make sure our voices are heard on Election Day. That’s on purpose and it’s all about control.

We know that decisions made by our local elected officials affect our families every day. Together, we can make sure our friends & family members understand the importance of voting in all local elections to keep these extremists from taking away our rights.

By using our Rally tool, you can share helpful voting information to make sure that everyone in your network has the opportunity to cast their ballot.

For years, political insiders in Ohio have created voting districts that favor extremist politicians, who can continue creating even more unfair districts. This is all designed to keep themselves in power, regardless of what (and who) voters want and is called gerrymandering.

When gerrymandered districts exist, politicians get to choose their voters by drawing unfair voting district maps. Our gerrymandered districts allow extremist politicians to stay in power, despite not representing the values of their constituents. Let’s decide who represents us instead of the other way around.

We tried to correct our gerrymandered districts last year with Issue 1, but it didn’t pass. This year, we can still put pressure on our elected representatives and the commission for maps. The legislature has until the end of September 2025 to pass a new map with three-fifths support in both chambers, or the Ohio Redistricting Commission will take over to adopt a plan by October 31, 2025. We’re telling them to create maps that represent ALL of Ohio!
