Your Vote Is Power – For Our Children, Our Families, Our Future

Every decision about the care economy – child care funding, provider wages, Medicaid, SNAP, unemployment insurance – is made by someone we elect. When we vote, we choose who decides. When we plan to vote, we make sure that power actually shows up. Make Your Plan Today

Voting Gives Us The Option To Have Our Voices Heard

This election season make sure to make your plan to vote!

Showing Up Takes Intention

We know the people we organize with don’t have time to figure out logistics on Election Day. Many of our members are working double shifts, caring for kids, running child care centers, or holding down more than one job.

If voting takes intention, the system is working exactly as it’s designed to.

A plan removes the barriers before they hit. The five minutes you spend now are the difference between your voice being counted or not. Here, creativity meets opportunity. Whatever you're building, we're here to help you take the first step with confidence. Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, this is where bold thinking meets thoughtful execution. Let’s create something meaningful together.

Make Your Plan in 4 Steps

Register, or confirm you’re registered, before the deadline on October 5th. Deadlines sneak up. It just takes 1 minute!
Locations change between elections. Don’t assume yours is the same as last time.
From startups to seasoned brands, we partner with people who care about doing things right—and doing them well.
Morning, lunch, after work – decide now. Tell a friend, sister, neighbor. Hold each other to it. Bring that person who normally sits out elections, but has so much at stake.

Why Voting Matters

That vision only becomes real when we vote for it.
Voting isn’t a single act. It’s how we protect the wins we’ve fought for and how we build the next ones. Every child care subsidy, every provider paycheck, every Medicaid expansion – these don’t happen by accident. They happen because people who care about our communities won an election and held them accountable. When we don’t vote, someone else decides for us.
The Ballot is Where Our Values Become Policy
Our vision is an Ohio where every family has access to affordable, quality child care. Where providers are paid living wages for the critical work they do. Where the safety net protects the people who need it most.

What’s at Stake

Those wins came from people who voted.

The same is true for what’s next: sustained funding for a 21st-century child care system, fair wages for providers, protection of Medicaid and the safety net, and an Ohio that treats care as the essential infrastructure it is.

When we don’t vote, the people who want to cut these programs win by default. When we plan – and show up – we keep building

What We’ve Won. What’s Next. What We Lose If We Stay Home

Because of strong member leadership and sustained organizing, the CEO Project has helped secure real wins – $3 million in annual funding for programs that support young children and families through the Strong Foundations Act, member leaders serving on the Licensing Regulatory Board, and a pathway toward co-governance in child care.

We Don’t Vote Alone. We Vote Together.

We organize parents, providers, and teachers to take collective action on the issues that impact our families. Voting is part of that work – It’s how we turn what we build in our communities into the laws and budgets that shape our lives.

Make your plan. Bring a neighbor. Bring a coworker. Bring a sister, a brother, a friend.

On Election Day, we show up – for our kids, for our providers, for our future.
