On March 19, climate activists around the world are taking to the street to demand immediate action on climate change. For too long, our leaders have delivered empty promises, while the climate crisis worsens, and communities suffer. We have no time to wait.
Sunrise Columbus is calling for concrete action now. Join us at the Ohio Statehouse on Friday, March 19, along with thousands worldwide in coordination with FridaysForFuture, to make your voice heard and demand climate justice.
We demand a greener Columbus, a just and sustainable Ohio, and a national Green New Deal for good jobs and a livable planet for all.
Bring a sign, a mask, water, comfortable shoes, and bring a friend or two to grow this movement.

As people of faith, we recognize the existence of many realities and even more so, how those realities are interwoven. The connection between law and race is one of these ever-present truths. Join Political Science Professor and Unitarian Universalist, Howard Tolley, for three 90-minute sessions examining Supreme Court caselaw involving slavery, native American rights, racial discrimination, segregation, mass incarceration, the death penalty, affirmative action, rights of protesters, and qualified immunity for law enforcement personnel.
In this course, taught through UUJAZ [UU Justice Arizona] and UUJO [Unitarian Universalist Justice Ohio], Tolley considers the impact of race, political ideology, legal principles, and personal preference on the selection of Justices and the decisions they reach.
This course is free to all UUJO monthly sustaining donors. If you wish to join but aren’t a donor, you can contribute a suggested donation on a sliding scale. If you aren’t financially able to donate, join us anyway!
