Who We Are

Gem City Action is a grassroots volunteer run organization dedicated to building a more inclusive and equitable Dayton by advocating for human rights, supporting marginalized groups, promoting social justice, and creating safe spaces to strengthen and unite the community.

We are fiscally sponsored by Ohio Voice (a 501c3 nonprofit) which means we’re able to receive grants and tax-deductible donations under the Ohio Voice umbrella as we continue to grow!

How YOU Can Help

Gem City Action is sustained by donations in random amounts from ***YOU*** Friends, family, neighbors, business owners, and… Maria Bamford!?

We are volunteers who want to make Dayton a better place for ALL of its people! Your donations will help us continue our work.

THANK YOU!!!
