Ohio · Self-Determination
On a fair ballot, Ohio is within reach of a majority.
The support is here. The organized movement to carry it is not, and that is exactly what we are here to change.
Ohioadults in Ohio would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 44% of the state.
Even the understated abstract poll counts 1.3 million (14%). How we get this number →

people
More than the whole of Cuba. A nation-sized population, governed from elsewhere.
seats in Congress
The other 518 are chosen by people who don't live here.
The only question that matters
Ohio is already a nation in all but name.
If Ohio were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?
Cast your vote
Ohio wrote its own constitution before Congress ever admitted it, and the state has always been the place that decides things for the rest of the country to follow. Ask the question plainly and peacefully, the way a real vote is put, and about 44 percent of Ohio would choose to govern itself. That is close to 4 million adults, and it is within reach of a majority.
The abstract poll undercounts because it asks people to imagine leaving in the void. A ballot does not work that way. A ballot is binary and it is peaceful, a calm yes or no with a lawful path attached, and when you put the question that way support climbs about 30 points over the abstract number. For Ohio that puts self-determination at or near a majority. The 44 percent is the honest figure, not the ceiling.
So what is missing here is not the will. What is missing is each other. There is no organized Ohio movement to plug into yet, so we bring the playbook and the connections built by the largest independence movement in the country. We do not run your group and we do not take your money. You build what self-government looks like in Ohio, and we help you find the people already standing next to you.
