Citizens' Climate Education (c3)

Organization Description

Citizens' Climate Education and Citizens' Climate Lobby work together to advance climate action in the U.S. Congress. We train and empower our grassroots network of 360 active chapters and 62 national action teams to build political will through local organizing, media engagement, and direct lobbying. During election years, we mobilize volunteers to engage candidates on climate change and boost voter turnout.

2025 Programs

In 2025, Citizens' Climate Education is focused on training our grassroots network to defend hard-won climate victories in the U.S. Congress, such as the clean energy tax credits passed in the Inflation Reduction Act. We are also taking advantage of opportunities to make forward progress in the current political climate. These opportunities include climate-smart forestry, clean energy deployment, and building electrification.

Northeast Ohio Voter Advocates (c3)

Organization Description

NOVA is a grassroots organization that believes in expanding voter participation so that all voices are heard in our democracy. Our 501(c)3, non-partisan status allows us access to social service agencies, schools, food pantries and correctional facilities to register voters, conduct voter research, and advocate for voting equity. NOVA's mission is to enable and expand voter registration and turnout in under-represented areas of Northeast Ohio; and improve the election process in Ohio through research and advocacy for legislative and administrative changes.

2026 Programs

NOVA plans to continue our voter registration and voter turnout work with incarcerated voters, voters in the re-entry community, and low-propensity voters. Most of the voter registration is done by well-trained volunteers.

2025 Programs

NOVA expanded our jail registration and educational programming to four county jails in Northeast Ohio. One of our organizers worked with community members to double the turnout from the May 2025 Primary to the November 2025 General Election in one of Cleveland's lowest-turnout precincts. We continued to table regularly at government, food panties, and social service offices.

2024 Programs

Northeast Ohio Voter Advocates is a 501c(3), non-partisan organization that specializes in registering voters through social service agencies, schools, food pantries and correctional facilities and advocates for voting equity.

Ohio Citizen Action (c4)

Organization Description

Ohio Citizen Action informs, organizes, and mobilizes people to advocate for public interests across issues and campaigns. In person, by phone, and online we engage people in actions that protect public health, improve environmental quality, and benefit consumers. Our campaigns connect Ohioans and build a movement to protect democracy and create a sustainable and equitable future. In 2023 we helped win two ballot initiative campaigns (keeping a simple majority to pass citizen led ballot initiatives and enshrining reproductive rights in our constitution), and helped elect a progressive mayor in Akron. In 2024 we knocked 366,894 doors for Sherrod Brown.

2025 Programs

Opposing SB 63 (ban on ranked choice voting) and SB 153 (Ohio's SAVE act, which attacks voter rights and adds to the burden to get citizen-led initiatives on the ballot). Using our deep canvassing/persuasion training to reach voters who pledged to vote in 2024 after we talked to them at the door, but then didn't. We want to listen and learn in these "front porch focus groups" why people didn't vote, then rework the data they give us to persuade others like them to vote in 2025 and 2026. Promote repeal of consumer coal plant bailout.

2024 Programs

Advocate for local and statewide democracy, energy and consumer issues. We project knocking 709,700 doors statewide and making 259,000 phone calls, plus digital tactics, including voter videos.

Mission

Ohio Citizen Action Education Fund (c3)

Organization Description

Ohio Citizen Action Education Fund (OCAEF) informs, organizes and mobilizes people to advocate for public interests, across issues and campaigns. In person, by phone and online, we engage people in actions that protect public health, improve environmental quality, and benefit consumers. Our campaigns connect Ohioans and build a movement to protect democracy and create a sustainable and equitable future. OCAEF is the 501c3 research and education affiliate of Ohio Citizen Action, with which we sometimes run joint campaigns. Since 1975 we've earned a reputation as a trusted source of information and a vigilant government and industry watchdog.

2025 Programs

Advocacy work includes opposing two bills, one banning ranked choice voting in Ohio, and the other Ohio's version of the SAVE act which suppresses voter rights and adds to the burden of putting citizen led initiatives on the ballot. Rural solar organizing uses deep canvassing/persuasion to win hearts and minds for siting utility-scale solar projects. Voter courtship uses deep canvassing/persuasion to contact people canvassed during the 2024 election who pledged to vote, but didn't. We'll uncover the obstacles, rationales, and stories of unactivated voters and develop messaging to persuade people like them to vote.

2024 Programs

Ohio Citizen Action Education Fund will register voters by conducting hotspot canvassing and going door-to-door, primarily on community college campuses/areas in Cincinnati, Athens, Columbus and Cleveland.

Ohio Environmental Council Action Fund (c4)

Organization Description

The Ohio Environmental Council Action Fund (OEC AF) builds the political power of the environmental movement in Ohio through strategic issue and electoral campaigns as well as elected official accountability. Since its launch in 2016, the OEC AF has grown to be a well-recognized political force equipped with solutions to address the state’s most pressing environmental and climate issues facing Ohio communities. We continue to increase the political power of Ohio’s environmental movement in order to accelerate climate action and the adoption of just environmental policies.

2025 Programs

As the impacts of climate change grow, communities that have been systematically left out will suffer the most. To address the climate crisis, the OEC AF has embedded equitable and bold climate action across all programming. We will accelerate progress toward a clean, beautiful Ohio where diverse people and all of our natural treasures thrive by:
1. Advocating for and implementing affordable, clean energy solutions for all.
2. Bolstering the climate resilience of Ohio communities and ecosystems through policy and legal advocacy.
3. Ensuring members, partners, decision-makers, and all Ohioans have the information and tools they need to engage in climate action.

The Asian American and Pacific Islander population is the fastest growing demographic in Ohio. But we are under-represented.

Mission

The AAPI Research Group and Engagement Team - Ohio (TARGETOHIO) believes in the collective power of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. AAPI Ohioans must be included as an integral part of our democracy—civically engaged, politically active, and voting in record numbers.

TurnUp | Turnout Activism Inc. (c3)

Organization Description

TurnUp's youth-led voter registration and turnout program targets competitive states and congressional districts. We conduct paid student-led on-campus voter registration and turnout drives at high schools and low-turnout community college campuses; relational voter registration and turnout programs targeting unregistered and low-propensity young voters; an educational internship program empowering youth to conduct text-banking, phone-banking, and canvassing; and innovative digital activities reminding young people to register and vote. Since 2019, we have registered over 600,000 young voters, texted 45 million young voters, talked to 1.2 million young voters via phone, and graduated 18,000 youth from our internship program.

2026 Programs

In 2026, TurnUp is focused on registering 190,000 young voters in swing states and districts, while mobilizing over five million to vote. TurnUp is organizing the following programs to accomplish these goals paid student-led on-campus voter registration and turnout drives at high schools and low-turnout community college campuses; relational voter registration and turnout programs targeting unregistered and low-propensity young voters; an educational internship program empowering youth to conduct text-banking, phone-banking, and canvassing; and digital activities reminding young people to register and vote.

2025 Programs

We achieved our 2025 goal of registering 170,000 young voters who will be critical to the 2026 election! This is the highest number of registrants TurnUp has achieved in an off-year. Young people in our targeted counties were motivated to register to vote, so our fellowship, relational, and internship programs ran at almost election-year levels this year, allowing us to reach this goal. TurnUp also played an important role in the 2025 elections in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey through our voter registration and turnout efforts.

2024 Programs

TurnUp's Youth-led GOTV program targets low-turnout community college campuses and low-propensity young voters. The program engages over 18,000 young interns, on-campus organizers, and relational organizers to utilize the following strategies: on-campus GOTV events, relational GOTV campaigns, canvassing, phone-banking, and text-banking.

Mission

We’re on a mission to strengthen democracy by increasing high impact youth civic action and closing the gap between young people who want to take civic action and those who actually take action. TurnUp includes five integrated programs that work together to increase youth voter  registration and turnout: the internship training program; online program; on campus and relational voter registration and turnout program; mobile app; and ideas incubator. Our goal is to increase youth voter registration and turnout, and build the most active, educated, organized, and powerful network of young progressive activists across the Nation.
