Campaign Archive
We’ve been organizing college students for over 13 years, and during that time we’ve worked with hundreds of students on campaigns that make history — here’s a collection of some of our favorites from previous generations of student leaders.
JOIN THE FIGHT
Issue 24, Cleveland, 2021.
Alongside partners Black Lives Matter Cleveland, the ACLU of Ohio, NAACP Cleveland, and Showing Up For Racial Justice (SURJ) Northeast Ohio, OSA played a key role in the Citizens for a Safer Cleveland campaign, which fought to pass a robust police accountability ballot measure to make the city of Cleveland safer for everyone, regardless of our zip code or skin color. OSA members spent countless hours helping to collect 15,000+ signatures in order to put the issue on the local ballot, and countless more registering, educating, and turning out student voters on Cleveland State University and Case Western Reserve University’s campuses. All the tireless groundwork and organizing paid off, and on November 2nd Issue 24 passed in a landslide victory, delivering Cleveland the most powerful civilian oversight over police in the country.
The FIght Against Gerrymandering
In 2024, OSA chapters organized to collect signatures and get out the vote on campus for the Citizens Not Politicians amendment, a statewide ballot measure that would have effectively ended gerrymandering in Ohio by delivering fair maps and more competitive districts. Unfortunately we battled misleading ballot language and a well-organized opposition campaign that led the measure to fail, but we remain committed to fighting for fair representation and real democracy for Ohio.
