The Ohio Progressive Action Network (OPAC) works to restore the role of government as the instrument to better not only the lives of the citizenry but also to enhance and secure the electoral process in order to protect the  process for change. OPAC will strive to build the progressive base of the Democratic Party by supporting candidates and initiatives serving the general good of the people over the special interests at all levels of government: local, state, and federal.   We perform these lofty goals through the forming of coalitions among like-minded individuals, activists, grassroots groups, and issue oriented organizations to effect progressive, positive change, while grounded in the  recognition that the forces of the status quo, corporate and institutional, will attempt to undermine change for the sake of retaining power. 

We believe power in itself is not inherently bad unless of course its impetus is to limit the general welfare in favor of the few.  OPAC sees itself as one instrument of many working in unison to create a more just society where all citizens are able to reach their potential regardless of color, economic status, sexual orientation, and/or religious beliefs. 

Through these coalition-building efforts with organizations, we will work to set practical goals and realistic objectives in order to achieve specific outcomes having a broader impact on the issue(s) at hand to maximize the opportunity for change.

We welcome those of like minds to share in this important work as to build the movement that will make for a better tomorrow by sharing in the work necessary today.
