Signs and buttons

At Wednesday's PACE meeting, a question was asked about getting/making buttons and yard signs for the No on Issue 2 campaign. Coincidentally, a direct answer to that question was offered up via email that afternoon.

Directly from Mike Mahoney, OEA Director of Communications...
Please avoid creating your own Issue 2 campaign materials.
Authorized materials are soon to be on the way!

Many of our local association leaders and our OEA staff are ready to move forward to support the campaign to Vote No on Issue 2. A few of you have called or emailed to ask OEA for the newest signs, buttons, yard signs and other materials to support the campaign.

Help is on the way soon for all of us looking for these campaign promotional materials. The We Are Ohio campaign is just about ready to do two things:
  • We Are Ohio will revamp its bumper stickers, t-shirts, shirt stickers and buttons with a new logo that emphasizes the basic call to action:  Vote No on Issue 2 to Repeal SB 5.
  • We Are Ohio will provide coalition member organizations, including OEA, a channel to order some of these campaign materials so that we can in turn distribute them to you.

But in the meantime, please don’t create stickers, signs and logos at the local level. Message discipline is crucial to this campaign, down to the stickers.

We will also provide you with an approval process – in line with what the coalition decides – for your local and district campaign materials. Until then, please email me with any questions or problems you might have in this regard.

Thanks, and please remember our message:  Vote No on Issue 2 – It’s Unfair, It’s Unsafe and It Hurts Us All.

Mike
