Searching for Hope in Ohio Politics

<p>In this episode, Ainslee is joined by our producer and host of her own podcast, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/columbuscantwait/">Columbus Can’t Wait</a>, Tareya Palmer. Columbus Can’t Wait focuses on local politics in Columbus and holding those in power accountable to the community. </p><p>Tareya and Ainslee get candid about why it feels so hard to keep trying to make positive change in Ohio politics, especially when we keep losing. They discuss the creative ways Ohioans can keep pushing Ohio towards progress, even when everything is stacked against us. </p><p>The voters decide, then the politicians overrule.</p><p>Ohio politics is always rough for progressives, but in recent years it’s been altogether demoralizing. Despite continuing to have a purple electorate and powerful tools for a people-led democracy, Ohio’s state government is bright red, with seemingly endless hostility towards anyone outside the MAGA multiverse. Even worse, many of the politicians in power weaponize their authority to undermine hard-earned voter victories, be it redistricting reform, abortion rights, or marijuana legalization. </p><p>It can feel hopeless, and for good reason. But we find hope anyway. </p><p>We keep going. Because we have to.</p><p>Whether it’s mobilizing around ballot initiatives, demanding more proactive action from politicians, or learning from policy successes in other parts of the country, there are ways that even the most frustrated Ohioans can get to work to preserve what’s left of our state’s democracy. </p><p>It might involve building coalitions with groups you don’t agree with 100% of the time. It might involve finding common ground with people you’re still pretty mad at.It might involve difficult policy compromises. </p><p>The fight for justice is always a worthwhile endeavor.</p><p></p><p><strong>Episode Information:</strong></p><p><strong>Recorded:</strong> Tuesday, April 14, 2026<strong>In this Episode:</strong> Ainslee Johnson-Brown, Tareya Palmer<strong>Produced, Edited, and Recorded by:</strong> Devin “Dev Draper” Palmer and Tareya Palmer</p><p>Support Our Work</p><p>Thanks for listening.

"Organized Gangs of Wine Moms" For The Win

<p>In 2023, Laura Mullen was just another fed up mom. Fast forward to 2026, and she is an elected school board member and the Ohio programs director for <a target="_blank" href="https://redwine.blue">Red Wine & Blue</a>, an organization dedicated to mobilizing the now infamous “<a target="_blank" href="https://www.rawstory.com/fox-news-2674902716/">organized gangs of wine moms</a>” pushing back against authoritarianism in Ohio and across the country.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://ohagainstextremism.org/flashsale/"><strong>FIRE SALE: Black "Against Extremism" tote bags - order by May 21!</strong></a></p><p>If you had told Laura back in 2023 that just three years later she would know state representatives’ names and have strong feelings about them, she would have said you were crazy. If you had told her back then that thousands of Ohioans would come to her for advocacy guidance, she wouldn’t have believed you. But it’s true.</p><p>Red Wine & Blue’s presence in Ohio is no joke. It’s a big network that’s growing fast, with more than 60,000 members in Ohio alone. No wonder why they’ve got Trump and allies so worried.</p><p>Laura, Ainslee, & Maria discuss how suburban moms and their allies can channel their frustration into tangible actions that help their local communities while disrupting the status quo. They discuss how to make advocacy fun, and share how each of them decompress after a long day of kicking ass.</p><p>Perhaps most importantly, they discuss how the small staffs at OAE and RWB rely on each other to do their best work, and why supporting our organizations’ work supports tens of thousands of Ohio advocates that look to us for leadership.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/rwbweb2026"><strong>Support Red Wine & Blue</strong></a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://ohagainstextremism.org/donate/"><strong>Support Ohioans Against Extremism</strong></a></p><p>Finally, while they didn’t get to it on the pod, Red Wine & Blue is having an advocacy day at the Statehouse this coming Tuesday.
