Hiring Campus Coordinators for Ohio Issue 1 CampaignHiring Campus Coordinators

The Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF) is recruiting college and university students and recent graduates in Ohio to organize and mobilize fellow students to Vote Yes on Ohio’s Issue 1 on  Tuesday, November 7, 2023. FMF is hiring for Campus Coordinators ($20/hr) at the following  schools: 

• Bowling Green State University 
• The Ohio State University
• Case Western Reserve University 
• University of Akron
• Cleveland State University 
• University of Cincinnati
• Denison, Kenyon, & Oberlin 
• University of Toledo
• Kent State University 
• Wright State University
• Miami University 
• Youngstown State University 
• Ohio University

FMF’s Vote Yes on 1 Ohio is a student-led voter education and mobilization campaign to increase student voter turnout and encourage students to vote yes on Issue 1 in November. If passed, Issue 1 would establish a state constitutional right to “make and carry out one’s own reproductive decisions,” including decisions about abortion, contraception, fertility treatment,  miscarriage care, and continuing pregnancy. 

The vote on Issue 1 will have major implications for the future of reproductive rights and access in Ohio, and young people’s lives and futures are especially at stake. The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022 ended the U.S. constitutional right to abortion access nationwide and threatened the right to contraception. Ohioans now have the opportunity to enshrine these rights within their own state constitution and ensure these protections to bodily autonomy at the state level. 

Campus Coordinators 

Campus Coordinators will coordinate teams of Campus Organizers on college and university campuses through Election Day, November 7, playing an essential role in working to protect reproductive freedom in Ohio by organizing and mobilizing their communities to vote YES on  Issue 1.

• Organize rallies and events to encourage voter turnout during early voting and on Election  Day; and

Qualified applicants are:
