UAPA will welcome Emily Fisher to talk about Get Covered America and Enroll America on May 26, 2015 at 7:00 pm in the Friends Theater, UA Library, 2800 Tremont Rd.

Enroll America's mission is to get people signed up for health care through the Affordable Care Act or enrolled in Medicaid. Emily Fisher joined the local effort to sign up people during the open enrollment period that started in late 2014 and concluded on February 15.  Folks eligible for Medicaid can enroll anytime.

Help UAPA become a better organization. Please take our 10-question survey by May 3, 2015. Thanks!

Central Ohio progressives have lost a tireless activist, and for many, a good friend when Dave Girves passed away on January 16, 2015. His organizational skills, energy and kindness will be much missed.

Cathy Levine of Universal Health Care Action Network (UHCAN) remembers Dave:

The outcome of this election turns on our ability to get people to come out and vote. You can help by canvassing or phone banking. Canvassers will be going to friendly voters to remind them to vote, early if possible.

Now that the Supreme Court has decided to limit much of Ohio's early voting opportunities it is increasingly important to turn out everyone we can. The following are the current hours:

Tuesday, Oct. 7 through Friday, Oct. 10 - 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

It is important that we vote not only for state-wide candidates, but all the way down the ballot, including judges.

Please note, early voting begins on September 30th and you can still register until October 6, 2014. That means you can register and vote at the same time during "golden week" from September 30th through October 6th.

Backyard BBQ Bash with Ed and Sharen

Sunday, July 20, 5-8 p.m.
2491 Lane Road, Upper Arlington

Robbing Peter to pay … Who?

Thanks to the Kasich administration policy of eliminating the estate tax and cutting funding for local government, Upper Arlington may never be the same.  The duty of supporting our city is falling directly on our shoulders. And it is a heavy burden as cuts threaten the reasons why we choose to live in our lovely town.

Democratic gubernatorial nominee Ed FitzGerald is announcing a major proposal on college affordability. It will affect families saving for college, the rising cost of tuition, and student loan debt.

We need people to stand with Ed at the important event. Please RSVP if you're able to attend to lauren.hitt@edfitzgerald.org.

We're asking folks to arrive at 1:15 tomorrow at the corner of Corner of E Spring St and N Washington Ave. If you have any problems finding us, please call 443-370-3205.
