It's here!
After months of co-creation with femme and female organizers and activists across Ohio, we have developed a brave and restorative space for new and existing leaders to be seen and heard, feel supported, and connect with one another. The Ohio Women's Alliance is proud to launch The Cooperative, our statewide coalition of femme and female community organizers, activists, and leaders.
We are forming this Alliance because we know from experience that advocating for change is empowering, intimidating, challenging, and beautiful all at the same time. Creating a better Ohio begins with engaged citizens, and developing an engaged constituency requires trusted, experienced, well-resourced community organizers. We believe that by resourcing, connecting, and investing in local leaders, we can create more impactful and accessible opportunities for engagement, and create a cultural narrative shift that champions a better Ohio for all.
Help us grow The Cooperative. If you are one of these leaders, we invite you to be a founding member by completing the interest form and informing us on how we can support you and your work. The Cooperative is free to join but requires a commitment to the Pillars of Prosperity listed in the interest form here. If you're a partner or ally, share this with folks you think should be a part of this dynamic community!
From the team at the Ohio Women's Alliance and the founding members of The Cooperative, thank you for your continued support, and for helping build community for community builders. For more information, feel free to reach out to any of us at our email addresses below.
Sincerely,
Erin Scott, Co-Founder & Executive Director
Rhiannon Childs, Co-Founder and VP of Community Engagement & Social Impact
