Formed in 2007, the Ohio Organizing Collaborative (OOC) is an innovative statewide organization that unites community organizing groups, labor unions, faith organizations, and policy institutes across Ohio. OOC currently consists of 15 member organizations with members in every major metropolitan area across the state. The vision of OOC is to organize everyday Ohioans to build a transformative base of power for the purpose of achieving social, racial and economic justice in Ohio. We carry out this mission by investing in a diverse portfolio of organizing methods, experimental strategies, non-partisan 501c3 electoral programs, leadership training, and integration with policy organizations. In just six years, OOC has become a significant force in shaping Ohio public policy. It has brought together tens of thousands of people across faith, labor, and neighborhood lines to collaborate on campaigns including criminal justice reform, workers’ rights, bank accountability, student debt, vacant properties, social determinants of health and access to care.
