No Elegy Needed is a community-based organization rooted in Middletown, Ohio. We bring people together to raise awareness, build collective strength, and uplift the voices of working-class families. Our mission is simple but urgent: to resist the systems that create and sustain poverty, and to replace them with networks of care, solidarity, and opportunity.

We believe that Middletown’s story isn’t one of loss — it’s one of resilience. Through community gatherings, local advocacy, and creative collaboration, we work to make sure every voice is heard and every neighbor is seen. No elegy is needed for our community, because we are still here — organizing, supporting, and writing a new future together.
