Columbus, OH— Columbus Stand Up! has announced it is expanding its rideshare program, which drove hundreds of voters to the polls during the 2020 elections, to provide rides to Central Ohioans to get COVID vaccines. Volunteer drivers and riders will be able to sign up through the CSU website, after which they’ll be linked with an available volunteer driver to get them to their vaccination site. For residents needing support in booking an appointment, the CSU! website will also provide information about where and how to make an appointment for the vaccine.
Note: The site will not allow you to book an appointment directly from the website.
Columbus Stand Up! is a non-profit, fiscally sponsored by the Working Families Party, dedicated to mobilizing people in Central Ohio to serve the community, engage in the political process, hold elected officials accountable, and advocate for policies that will ensure everyone in our community can lead a stable life. In 2020, Columbus Stand Up! made a significant impact by hosting four citizen forums on important issues like police accountability and energy policy and also developed a ride to the polls program that was hugely successful in turning out the vote in the general election.
