Ohio Speaks is a new collaborative project of local and statewide health and human service organizations working to collect and highlight stories of struggle and hope. The stories will illustrate the value of human needs programs that support Ohio's most vulnerable children, families, seniors, and people with disabilities. Ohio Speaks will also put a human face on budget cuts and show the effect of budget cuts in our communities. The stories will be used in our advocacy and education work with lawmakers, the media and the public to highlight the impact of human needs programs.

In the photograph, feature the case manager with the consumer, if possible. Conclude the story by comparing the annual care plan cost with the annual cost of nursing facility care in Ohio. In 2010, that estimated cost was over $51,000.

- 10. Media Wants Real People “Whenever we talk about helping those in need, there's a tendency to set up a false dichotomy of us versus them. Keeps the road between us long, and the weeds tall, so that we can tell ourselves they were never us, and we could never become them… I'm done talking. Here are some of the people -- in their own words…” --Connie Schultz, Syndicated Columnist for The Cleveland Plain Dealer http://www.cleveland.com/schultz/index.ssf/2010/12/why_the_foodban k_needs_our_hel.html
- 11. People in Power Listen “Rugged individualism produces a heartless bill like this.. Here's a little note from somebody in my district. She says--she signed this plate at the foodbank, the local foodbank. She said: Without help from the foodbank, I would be on the streets. I struggle every day to make ends meet so my kids have a place to lay their heads at night. I have a job, but with two kids, it's still very hard. I have a lot of trouble paying rent and bills. I just wish there were more help to parents like myself.”

Notas do Editor
- Stories can jump start a legislative campaign, they can change the dynamic of a campaign, or they can help build momentumThey can also help frame an issue from the beginning and can help spark campaign momentum. This was the first news story we coordinated in our payday lending rate cap campaign. We had gone to Marietta to interview Mitch Casey, a payday lending customer, for an informational video we were making. On our way out of town we contacted a local reporter and said you gotta hear this story. The resulting front page Marietta Times article was an indictment of the payday lending business model, “Vicious circle: Consumers often get second loan to pay the first.”The article was sent to lawmakers, as well as reporters in advance of pitching them local stories and sources. It made our job easier connecting reporters to sources all over the state and with each story, reporters included our toll free number, so stories delivered more sources and more sources delivered testimony at hearings, which in turn created more news stories.
- We need your stories that might have impact on the Governor’s mid-term biennial budget
- The reason I do this work is to elevate the voice of marginalized individuals and communities; debunk negative stereotypes about the poorGayle Channing Tenenbaum, the Co-Chair of AOF has always talked about digging deep. Reaching the consumers of the services. We’ve reached staff and our boards, but this is an opportunity to really reach out and listen to marginalized voices and communities. I also know for people around this table who work with the media, one advantage of the project would be to have a database of contacts who can tell their story and the story for why the program (for a variety of public programs)This work will help with the mid-biennium budget we’ll be working on and it will be useful for local, state and national advocacy as this struggle continues. The issues we face today are not going away anytime soon, so this project will help build relationships for the long term, too.
- We welcome homemade videos. You don’t have to be a professional filmmaker or use high-tech equipment. Written stories are also welcome.Stories that speak about the value of any human needs program made possible by state and/or federal fundingStories that put the reality of budget cuts in human termsStories that underscore what cuts would mean for jobs, communities and families
- I’ll send out an email tomorrow morning to ask you to tell your story.
- Throughout the state budget, we had trouble telling the local story. We had the state numbers and the big picture systems we could talk about. Phase 2 - With this idea, we will be able to tell the story of self, the story of we, and the story of us. With the web idea, we could have an interactive map of Ohio, that tells the story of Ohio, the story of a county (like our county fact sheets) and the story of an individual. This way you can connect on many different levels and move hearts and minds.Of course, the stories would be integrated into our other communication to the field, on our social media…
- This webinar is being recorded and the power point will be available, so you can help get other people involved!
- Also, if you’re interested in getting more involved and helping reach out to people in your community to hear and collect their story, we have additional resources and we will have a future training on how to reach out to people in your community.
