CIEO November Meeting
2022-11-15 15:00 - 16:30
The Ohio Co-Conspirators in Ending Oppression (CIEO) is a subcommittee of the Statewide Anti-Oppression Committee, comprised of individuals working in various survivor/victim services capacities in Ohio’s five regions. As beneficiaries of white privilege, members strive to honor our responsibility to dismantle racism and intersecting forms of oppression. It is on us, not Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), to actively work against white supremacy. This work requires humility, self-examination, relationship-building, accountability, and sustainable actions. We acknowledge that there has been a legacy of racism within anti-violence movements, and as such commit to be aspiring co-conspirators and sustainable anti-racist work.
To reflect this commitment, this group has made structural changes, including shifting towards working groups, opening membership restrictions to increase participation, and a name change made official in 2021, from the previous name Aspiring White Allies.

OAESV Advocacy Day 2023 – Shape Ohio Together
Apart, we can only do so much; together, we can do a lot more. Together we can make a difference in the movement. We can provide comprehensive, coordinated rape crisis services to survivors. We can emphasize primary prevention, including efforts to change social norms, behaviors, and practices to cultivate a community climate free from violence. There is power and strength in the collective.
How can we use what we learn to shape the future? How can we take our collective ideas and strengths and turn them into action? Can we shape legislation? Can we shape school policies? Can we shape ideas, beliefs, and misconceptions?
Since 2013, OAESV’s Annual Advocacy Day to End Sexual Violence has provided advocates, survivors, and interested members of the public with the opportunity to express the importance of sexual violence advocacy and prevention to members of the Ohio Legislature. After the main event, the one-on-one meetings with lawmakers provide invaluable opportunities for rape crisis professionals to share insight on pending legislation and make informed requests for funding increases. It is simply the best opportunity to have our voices heard in the place where laws are made!
You can access the agenda for this year’s Advocacy Day event here.
ASL Interpreters will be present.
