Gigi Reports back from TBI
Cleveland League Director Gigi Traore reports back from the Tunnel Builder Institute training she attended in Chi-town in mid April. Gigi brought her own team down from Cleveland and the weekend was inspiring.

Get down with the OH League
The OH League is currently focusing its young voter outreach program
in Columbus' Near East Side, and in neighborhoods of Somali and East
African descent. We are also training young people to be leaders in the political
process and to be part of the effort to protect the vote this election. Recently, we were a key partner in Vote Today Ohio - a
grassroots campaign that utilized Ohio's "Golden Week" (September 30 -
October 6) that helped more than 3300 unlikely progressive Ohio voters have their votes counted in the 2008 presidential
election!

We're voting in Ohio - and we need your help!
This week, the League launched our early voting program in Ohio,
to take advantage of the state's first-ever "golden week." We're
taking party vans full of young people to the polls, and racking up
progressive votes in a crucial swing state. Now we need your help to make sure we can sustain this work through the election. Can you create a fundraising page to raise money and help turn out thousands of young progressive voters?
