Democrat ‘Working Class’ Group Run By Lefty Who Said Taking Husband’s Last Name Would Stop Her From Voting
Sherrod Brown's nonprofit, the Dignity of Work Institute, is led by Kayla Griffin Green, who has expressed progressive views on voting rights, racial equity, and reproductive rights. Green previously wrote an op-ed explaining her decision not to take her husband's last name, citing concerns over voter ID requirements affecting women's voting access. The organization, aimed at engaging working-class voters, has drawn attention due to Green's activism and past statements on race and gender issues.
- ▪Kayla Griffin Green is the executive director of Sherrod Brown's Dignity of Work Institute, a nonprofit focused on working-class voters.
- ▪Green wrote an op-ed in April 2025 claiming she did not change her last name after marriage due to fears it would affect her ability to vote under Ohio's ID laws.
- ▪Ohio requires photo identification to vote, and Green's claim aligns with a broader Democratic narrative about voter suppression.
- ▪Prior to joining Brown's institute, Green participated in a 2025 discussion with Alencia Johnson hosted by ThirdSpace Action Lab, a racial equity organization.
- ▪Neither Sherrod Brown’s office nor the Dignity of Work Institute responded to requests for comment on Green’s role or their working relationship.
