Lauren Blauvelt is an American pro-choice political activist and one of the main organizers working to get Ohio Issue 1, the Right to Make Reproductive Decisions Including Abortion Initiative on the ballot[1][2] and then passed, enshrining the right to abortion in Ohio's constitution.[3]
She is one of Time's 2024 100 Most influential People.[4]
Additionally, she has been named one of the Inspiring Women of Columbus Monthly,[5] a Person on the Move in Crain's Business Cleveland,[6] and one of 20 Trailblazers Standing Up for Equity and Empowerment in Columbus.[7]
Blauvelt is the co-chair of Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights,[8] the Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio,[9]and the Chief Public Affairs officer for Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio.[10].
Political activism
[edit]Time recognized Blauvelt for her "enormous commitment and energy to make a citizen ballot initiative like Issue 1 in Ohio, which enshrined the right to an abortion in the state constitution, a success."[4][11]
Some of the work Blauvelt did for issue 1 was speaking at rallies[12] and nationally, such as on MSNBC.[13] She helped amass 710,000 valid signatures to bring issue 1 to the ballot,[14] which was almost double the amount needed.[15] Blauvelt also fundraised in the millions; $35 million was put into the campaign to get issue 1 passed.[16]
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were vocally supportive of Blauvelt's work.[17]
On her won work on Issue 1, Blauvelt said: "When I co-founded a reproductive rights organization at the University of Cincinnati 15 years ago, I never could have imagined that my determination for protecting Ohioans' reproductive rights would lead to my taking on a leadership role in the historic win to change the Ohio Constitution to protect abortion access."[18]
Blauvelt additionally has been involved in other bills in Ohio, such as going on record opposing to Senate Bill 157 Committee Activity in the Ohio Legislature.[19]
Education
[edit]Blauvelt is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati.[20]
