The Ohio Democratic Women’s Caucus works in full partnership with the Ohio Democratic Party (ODP). Specifically, the caucus works to educate and empower women to take on leadership roles within Democratic politics, recruit more women to run for office and strongly impact the outcome of elections at the local, state, and national level. The caucus will build this support and capacity among Democrat
ic women by pursuing the following actions:
• Advocating equitable representation and funding of Democratic women as it relates to candidate recruitment, senior positions within ODP, and appointments to serve on boards and commissions at all levels of government.
• Providing educational training and workshops that focus on fundraising, coalition building, leveraging technology, developing political infrastructure, and supporting candidates and campaigns.
• Facilitating statewide and regional networking opportunities through the ODP website, an e-newsletter, and social networking tools like Facebook and Instagram. In-person networking events will also include an annual service project, an annual fundraising luncheon, an annual organizing conference, various regional policy and political events, and an informal mentorship program.
• Promoting and featuring political, community and grassroots leaders by creating an annual document that lists all Democratic women elected officials, attorneys, business owners, and progressive group leaders.
• Building a Democratic women’s speakers bureau to be utilized by local Democratic and progressive women’s groups.
