Your Personal Civic Command Center
Most Ohioans care deeply about what happens in their communities.
The problem is not that people do not care. The problem is that most citizens do not have a simple, coordinated way to act together.
When an issue is selected by members, you may receive an Action Center alert explaining exactly what is happening and how you can help.
What the issue is and why it matters to Ohioans.
What is happening now and how much time the action may take.
Who represents you and what action is being requested.
Every action is voluntary. You decide when and how to participate.
Through the Action Center, members may be able to participate in multiple forms of coordinated advocacy.
Send personalized emails or letters to elected officials with just a few clicks.
Receive contact information, suggested talking points, and guidance for calling legislators or public officials.
Support member-approved petitions or public statements on issues that matter to Ohioans.
Learn about hearings, school board meetings, county commissioner meetings, or other public events where citizen participation can make a difference.
Help educate friends, family, and neighbors by sharing fact-based research and updates.
Help identify emerging issues and provide feedback that shapes Ohio Common Ground’s priorities.
Ohio Common Ground plans to power its Action Center using UJOIN, a proven digital advocacy platform used by organizations across the country to coordinate citizen engagement.
Through UJOIN, members can participate from a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Make it easier for informed citizens to act together.
Democracy does not begin and end on Election Day. Real influence comes from informed citizens working together between elections.
Research the issues.
Let members decide the priorities.
Coordinate action.
Measure the results.
Hold elected officials accountable.
That is how individual voices become collective influence.
Because when thousands of Ohioans act together, politicians pay attention.
