Governor DeWine has SB 215 on his desk. Join the UAPA Executive Committee in asking him to veto this dangerous bill that allows anyone to conceal carry a weapon without training or licensing. Police don't even have to be informed that they have a weapon! Email NOW! governor.ohio.gov/contact

Governor DeWine,

The Upper Arlington Progressive Action (UAPA) Board recently voted to endorse two candidates for the two seats available on the UA School Board. The selections were made based on responses to a set of ten questions (below) sent to all candidates. Neither Lou Sauter nor Liz Easton responded to our questions.

We recommend Nidhi Satiani be elected and Carol Mohr be reelected.

Summer Community Picnic

When:      Sunday, September 12, 2021 

The Ohio Redistricting Commission and Ohio Legislators are scheduled to begin drawing the state and Congressional districts we will use for the next 10 years. They will be using the rules enacted into the Ohio Constitution by wide margins when we voted in 2015 and 2018.

Back in 2015, Ohioans passed a new process for redistricting state districts; in 2018, we passed a (slightly different) process for Congressional districts. Now, in 2021 we have the opportunity to put these processes into action. Find out more about how redistricting works and what you can do to make sure we have the fairest districts possible.

Update: We delivered three stuffed SUVs of food to the CRC. We had petitions for three municipal judge candidates. Thanks to all the volunteers and donors for a successful event!
