Can't wait for the chapter meeting? Come and hang out with us at the luminous Comet, a hub for local musicians and live music in the heart of Cincinnati. They have good food and nonalcoholic options to enjoy as well as a wide selection of craft brews and drafts.

The Resistance Fair is a gathering of organizations working in diverse ways to preserve and strengthen our democratic principles, institutions, and values. Attendees at the fair will be individuals seeking new ways to engage in meaningful action. (Paraphrased from organizer's description.)

This is a tabling event and a great platform for spreading the word about RCV, which is headed to the November 2026 ballot in Cleveland Heights. Free onsite and nearby garage parking.

We get a lot of questions about Proportional Representation and how it can be used to create fairer, more inclusive elections. Join us on February 23 at 7:00 pm for a virtual conversation with Rachel Hutchinson, Senior Policy Analyst at FairVote.

Rachel conducts data and policy analysis in support of Ranked Choice Voting and Proportional Representation and has helped draft legislation and support state partners across the country. Her work has been featured in outlets including NPR and Real Clear Politics, and she previously served as a Fellow at the Institute for Political Innovation.
