Several Ohio and National organizations are calling for Ohio Attorney General David Yost to begin the process of revoking the charter of FirstEnergy Corporation, a process that would dissolve the company. The request by the groups is based on the corporation’s admitted involvement in the $60 million bribery and money laundering scheme, the largest in Ohio’s history that defrauded taxpayers and threatened representative democracy. The groups who signed the letter include the Move to Amend Ohio Network, Our Revolution Ohio, Ohio Community Rights Network, National Community Rights Network, the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund and the Athens Friends Meeting.

Many in this Secular Community Group are still in various stages of recovery from religion and are processing the feelings, thoughts and struggles of leaving a religious community behind. We include people ranging from those who are attending their first “secular/atheist” group ever and have fears and concerns of being “found out” to those who have been on this journey for a longer time.
• We are a Diverse and Inclusive Secular Community.
• Atheist, Humanist, Non-Religious, Agnostic, Free-Thinker, Anti-Theist, Spiritual But Not Religious, Naturist, Curious But Still with Some Faith, etc.
• From younger families to singles, from baby boomers to teenagers and kids, we are diverse and welcoming having those who identify as LGBTQ, Straight, Polyamorous, etc.

I put on my McDonald's uniform to work during the pandemic last year — because if I didn't, I couldn't afford to eat. I worried every day: was today the day a customer or coworker would get me sick?
A lot of people are acting like COVID is over. It's not.
If this new variant does get me sick, I won't get sick leave. McDonald's and plenty of corporations like it expect me to come in, snowstorm or shine, sick or not, or I don't get paid. It's dangerous, it's irresponsible, and it's just wrong.
Saturday, January 8, 7-8:30pm, this event will be occurring via Zoom
