Join Lorain County Rising as we welcome Catherine Turcer, the Executive Director for Common Cause Ohio, to our October meeting. An expert on redistricting reform and state level campaign finance, Catherine advocates for greater transparency and more accountable government and helped lead Ohio’s successful efforts to address gerrymandering. She will give us an update on redistricting and take all your burning redistricting questions!

This month we want to focus on people who are feeling politically isolated. Our goals are:

• To show people who feel isolated in their political views that they are not alone.

• To demonstrate to MAGA supporters that we are not going anywhere.

• Help them feel connected and therefore vote in the future.

We’re backing the March in DC this weekend with a local protest in Wellington. It’s crucial to show up in rural areas because it creates opportunities to connect with local allies who may not know there’s a network around them. Let them know DC belongs to ALL of us — not the oligarchy.

We’re done with the nonsense and daily drama. It’s time to say:
-We are ALL DC. -We support our service members. -It’s time for leadership

Let them know DC belongs to ALL of us — not the oligarchy. Join us in Wellington this weekend. Your voice matters. Let’s stand together!

Democracy is in danger. This is a NATIONWIDE DAY OF ACTION due to what is happening in TX. Please instead join us at the Lorain County Clerk of Courts building (where Bob Latta’s office is). From there, those who are able will march to the courthouse along the sidewalk.

Trump and his allies are redrawing districts, silencing voters of color, and attacking the Voting Rights Act. What’s happening in Texas is a warning for the entire country.

We must defend the vote, protect our rights, and stop this anti-democratic power grab—before it spreads nationwide.

You can park in the Lorain County Parking Garage located near the courthouse and city hall. Additionally, there is street parking and Elyria Public Library offers parking.

Come join the Lorain AFL-CIO Steak Fry Fundraiser!  What a great evening to come out, have a wonderful meal and hang out with all your friends.  Tickets are $35 for for adults, and kids 5yrs and under eat for free.  Can't wait to see there! Wear your Rural Dems T shirt!

Feeling concerned about MAGA's ICE raids, Medicaid and SNAP cuts, defunding of PBS and NPR, and closing government agencies? We are too and we're not going to sit by and watch!

Join us for a One Million Rising Resistance Gathering!

Lorain County Rising invites you to join us as we organize and determine the ways we will strategically be non-cooperative in order to fight burgeoning authoritarianism in our nation. Together, we can do this!

At this gathering, we will stand in community together, ready to take action. We will participate in a lively discussion to address the real time threat America is facing as it shifts away from our democratic values and into an authoritarian regime. We will talk through ways our community can take action and help stop this through noncooperation techniques, and how in so doing we will be part of national action that will affect real change.

A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Register HERE

We’re joining voices across the country for the Rage Against the Regime nationwide protest—and we need you with us.

We’ll be standing peacefully along the sidewalks holding signs in protest of the ongoing threats to our democracy, human rights, and basic freedoms. This is our time to show up, speak out, and stand strong—together.
