Who We Are
The Ohio Women’s Alliance is a statewide membership of grassroots leaders, organizers, community builders, and activists creating a better Ohio for all through a reproductive justice lens.
Our Vision
Our vision is an Ohio that takes a stake in all women and gender-nonconforming folks having agency over their bodies, safety, education, and economic prosperity, and full Reproductive Justice.
We know that building power in Ohio begins with an engaged constituency and developing an engaged constituency requires trusted, well-resourced community leaders who are actively engaging and expanding the electorate.
The strongest voices in movements for collective liberation and reproductive justice have always been women, particularly women of color. By resourcing, connecting, and investing in grassroots leaders across Ohio, we can create a cultural narrative shift that champions a better Ohio for all.
What We Do
We believe that adequately resourced leaders require a supportive and experienced community, access to funds and capacity-building opportunities, and a culture of community care that prioritizes their wellbeing through a reproductive justice lens. We do this by:
Providing a supportive community through an alliance of peers doing similar work
Hosting workshops, retreats, and conferences to continue building and nurturing leadership skills specifically for leaders in civic engagement spaces
Creating opportunities to lead through civic engagement trainings, projects, and campaigns tied to our Pillars of Prosperity (our values platform developed by our members)
Providing access to holistic wellness care programming through strategic partnerships and access to direct services
Offering fiscal sponsorship or strategic partnerships to informal grassroots groups led by our members
With a statewide network of healthy, fully resourced and supported leaders, we can expand the electorate (particularly in communities of color), develop a values-based movement led by womxn that operates year-round, and make our vision for Ohio a reality.
