Issue One
How to get something done
easily and free!
Issue One on August 8 is complicated but it boils down to
- A reduced voice for voters
- A “first in the country” requirement that ALL 88 counties meet signature requirements not just the current 44.
- We are finding more who don’t even know there IS an election.
So, Leagues all over Ohio are getting together to have a phone bank that’s fun…and all about friends! You have 8 friends, right? And you have cell phone numbers for them.
Friend banking is like phone banking to strangers, but unlike person-to-person canvassing, door-to-door, walking up to strangers’ homes, you sit at home AND TALK OR TEXT FRIENDS.
HOW FUN IS THAT ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON?
For the next two Fridays, July 21 and July 28, 4 p.m., Leagues across Ohio will be calling friends.
Here’s how:
Register for the event here: https://bit.ly/3XWJljo
It will ask you to register for one of the Fridays! Please do. There will be a zoom link for that day with a script if you need one!
Next you will download the LWV app called “League in Action.” Future campaigns will rely on you to reach out to friends – reminding them to vote or showing how to take action!

- Sign up and search for League of Women Voters of Ohio. Click to become a supporter.
- Sign into our event on the date you registered for.
You will be on the Zoom call with other Leaguers and everyone will be learning to use the app on their phones. The goal will be to have each person use the app to send a "Vote No" text message to friends. You'll be able to have questions answered on the Zoom and find help with tools from LWVO.

And Ohio is leading the effort! Several LWV Kent members signed on to the app about a year ago and it was called "Outreach Circle," but this is the first time they see its relevance. Friend-to-friend. Messaging voters. Getting the word out more efficiently.
Join us – besides…8 friends to call for the eighth? Your friends will love to hear from you! And oh… you can call or text others as the spirit moves you! Questions? Call Barb at 330-603-4174.
