•  Applied Information Resources, assisted by a grant from the Seasongood Foundation, has worked at the local level to educate citizens about the need for campaign reform. Although the grant proposal acknowledges the importance of addressing the negative impact of “big money” on political campaigns, AIR emphasized that its immediate focus would concentrate on redistricting reform in Ohio. This decision was based on the fact that the Ohio General Assembly last December enacted a proposed Constitutional Amendment that significantly changes the state redistricting process, and this proposal will be approved or rejected by voters this fall.

AIR (Applied Information Resources), a non-profit public policy organization, works with Ohio Consumers for Health Coverage and its southwest OCHC network to elevate the discussions concerning health care reform that currently take place in Greater Cincinnati. To that end, AIR is contacting diverse religious leaders in this region to enlist their assistance in involving people of faith in an examination of the moral ramifications of health care reform in Ohio and the U.S. The goal of this project is to have people of faith look at health care through the lens of religious teachings that stress compassion, justice, and caring for one’s neighbor.
