Description

#GrassRoot_Ohio radio/podcast w/ Debera Diggs, Tiffany Sigler Rumbalski and Maria Ramirez, Central Ohio "Get Out the Vote" advocates and activists. It's going to take all of us to Vote Trump Out. Join us for Ideas, Inspiration and Action.

Debera Diggs humbly serves City of Columbus residents to provide essential NEEDS (necessary equipment every day to suceed). She believes Voting is one tool individuals could and should use, and the people who make the rules do NOT live OUR lives. However they make rules that govern OUR lives, “What WE tolerate WE encourage. Voting can, does and will make a difference.” Debera is a Lifetime member of the Franklin County Democratic Women's Club; South Side Progressive; Elected to represent Ward 3 on Central Committee for Franklin County Democratic Party; recently elected as Third Vice Chair for the Franklin County Democratic Party.

Maria Ramirez lives in Worthington and has been a member of Indivisible OH 12 for the last four years. She is currently focused helping people navigate the coming election. Her favorite voter registration moment was helping her then 17 year old son register to vote. She represents Worthington Ward 2 in the Franklin County Democratic Party Central/ Executive Committee and is a member of the Worthington Community Relations Commission.

#TiffanyRumbalski is a Columbus activist and voter rights advocate. She's a mom to Emma who just started BGSU and will be voting mail-in absentee and a mom to Paul who just started high school and is not sure he ever wants to vote. She's a creator of Vinny Voter, her inflatable TRex, who also has his own instagram account. And a monarch butterfly enthusiast.
