Billboard Campaign 2024
In the November 2023 Election, 78% of Mercer County voted pro-life – that is, they voted “No” on the November 2023 Issue 1, which tragically passed mainly due to Ohio’s big city counties. Because Issue 1 passed with 57% of the vote, an amendment relating to abortion and other so-called reproductive decisions will now change our Ohio constitution to further the abortion agenda.
Due to Issue 1’s passage, which will cost many preborn babies’s lives if left unchecked, Mercer County Right to Life has voted to help other pro-life organizations in city areas purchase effective, life-affirming billboard ads leading up to November’s General Election. We have spoken with Kate from Cleveland Right to Life and Walter Moss from the Right to Life Action Coalition of Ohio. They’ve suggested we sponsor some ads on billboards in the Cleveland area.
We are working with Stephen Keyes with Key-Ads, Inc., from Dayton, Ohio to reserve these billboard spots. Mr. Keyes, who also serves on the board of directors at Dayton Right to Life is willing to match the dollar amount we raise. What an amazing gift!
We will be putting together a list of donors and posting the names in our newsletter, our webpage, our Facebook page, and on a banner at the Mercer County Fair. The deadline to get your name on the donor list is June 30, 2024.
We will be putting these up on billboards on I-280 going north and going south in Toledo. We will also have a sign on Route 6 in Huron. These will be up during the months of October and November. We are hoping to get enough donations to purchase another billboard in Sheffield Village, near Cleveland.
Donors names will be listed in the gold, silver, and bronze levels:
Gold donations of $500 or more
Silver donations of $250 - $499
Bronze donations of $100 - $249
Donations of as little as $1 will help to purchase billboard ads. If you would like for your name to be undisclosed, please let us know.
