About

AHEAD (Allen & Hardin for Election Action and Democracy) is a group of Allen and Hardin County residents committed to nonviolent action for democracy.

AHEAD formed in early 2017, committed to nonviolent action and these goals:

  1. Voice our opinions on policies and issues
  2. Educate ourselves and our communities on matters of political importance
  3. Connect with diverse populations in our communities and work with them to support the vulnerable
  4. Support local Democratic parties and affiliated organizations
  5. Strengthen AHEAD by building capacity and making connections

AHEAD seeks to bring about political and social change through peaceful means. Anyone who supports nonviolent action toward these goals can participate in AHEAD.

AHEAD has a private Facebook group, a regular newsletter, a public Facebook page, and this website. You can connect with AHEAD members through those outlets or by writing to ahead.oh@gmail.com. Our webmaster, Jenny, can be contacted at ahead.oh.web@gmail.com.

Collaboration with County Parties

AHEAD members played a powerful role in local action during the Trump administration, in particular. More recently, AHEAD members increasingly collaborate with our County Democratic Parties. In 2024, the County Parties take the lead on supporting candidates and holding events. Check out county Democratic groups — listed below.
