In episode 190, we talk with Ethan Nichols, founder of the PAC Future Without Fear, about flipping Ohio Statehouse races and rewriting the narrative on gun violence.Ethan has built his career around advancing progressive causes in Ohio. He was propelled into activism after the 2018 Parkland, Florida shooting, when he founded Students for Gun Legislation, a student-led organizing and advocacy nonprofit.Under his leadership, Students for Gun Legislation mobilized young people across the state to advocate for common-sense gun reform, register voters, and ensure young voices were heard in the political process. In 2022, he was invited to the White House for the signing of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.Since then, Ethan has built a career working on Democratic campaigns at every level of government. In 2024, he served as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention and was among the first Ohio delegates to pledge his support to Vice President Kamala Harris. He most recently founded Future Without Fear, a political action committee dedicated to electing gun-sense champions to the Ohio legislature.Resources:* Future Without Fear PAC Website* Social Media:* Instagram* Threads* X/Twitter* Flippable/Focus Seats in Ohio Legislature!* Statehouse:* District 17 - Megan Coy* District 31 - Noah Spinner* District 35 - Samantha Salamon* District 36 - Rose Lounsbury* District 49 - Krista Allison* District 52 - Mike Baker* Senate:* District 7 - Cara Jacob* District 13 - Joe Miller* Dems need to flip 6 seats to break the GOP Statehouse supermajority, and Northeast Ohio is pivotal - Ohio Capital JournalWe’re bringing together digital creators from across the state to build a powerful digital organizing network called Ohio Creators for Progress.
