RESET: Politics of a New Generation
Join us on October 11th for RESET: Politics for a New Generation Candidate Debate.
Columbus Stand Up! presents the third annual youth-led candidate debate ahead of the 2026 general election — and you're invited.
This year’s debate will feature candidates Attorney General and Secretary of State. Organized and led by young people, this event centers youth voices in shaping the future of Ohio.
The debate offers a critical opportunity for Ohio voters, especially those under 25, to hear directly from candidates on the issues impacting the future of our state.
The event will take place at Fort Hayes Education Center in the Performing Arts Auditorium, located in Building 7, Room 108.

Spaghetti Dinners
In 2025, Columbus Stand Up! launched an effort to bring people from all walks of life across central Ohio together to share a spaghetti dinner and talk about their vision for our community and the country over the next 250 years. The conversations sparked an awareness of how much we have in common and unity around the things we want to see change.
