Raise Your Voice for Kids

Children are the nation’s largest population segment that can’t influence legislators with their vote. Lobbyists influence policymakers on behalf of healthcare, tobacco, energy, the environment, senior citizens – and hundreds of others. They have strong influence in what happens – or doesn’t happen – in local, state and federal policymaking. Why? Because they have money.

Who lobbies on behalf of Ohio’s children? We do. Voices for Ohio’s Children. And you can too. “Raise Your Voice for Kids” is about generating strong grassroots support for Ohio’s children. Our combined voices provide the strength – and the volume – needed to ensure Ohio’s policymakers create laws to keep Ohio’s children safe, educated, healthy, connected and employable.

When you join Raise Your Voice for Kids you are joining a movement – a groundswell – of Ohio’s citizens, businesses and nonprofit agencies that value public policies that benefit children. Yes, we will ask you to pay a membership fee, but your voice is a greater contribution. With nearly 24 percent of Ohio’s resident below the age of 18, every voice matters. Your voice matters. Use your voice to protect and nurture Ohio’s children.
