A Word from the Chair

July 31, 2025

Friends,

What an amazing weekend we had getting into good trouble!

We rallied and marched in Stow.

We gathered in a union hall to write post cards.

We registered voters at Akron's African American Cultural Festival.

At every event, people of all ages and backgrounds came together with a shared purpose: community.

The attacks on our shared values have stirred outrage and frustration, and rightfully so. The passion is real and the anger is just. With each event, this movement grows by bringing in more and more first time activists, and for that we are grateful! 

As we enter into the finals months of Summer, candidates campaigns and your Summit County Democratic Party are gearing up and hitting the streets. Now is the time to turn your homemade signs in for a clipboard and a walking list. We will also need folks to put up yard signs, greet voters, and make phone calls.

Let's use the energy from the Good Trouble Lives On Weekend of Action to keep moving Summit County forward.

Mark Derrig,

Summit County Democratic Party Chair
