Action Alerts
On March 19th, 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 State Capitol on March 19th, 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.
#NoMoreEmptyPromises
Bring a sign, a mask, water, comfortable shoes, and bring a friend or two to grow this movement.

Join the Revolutionary Socialist Network for two discussions on the book Corona, Climate, Chronic Emergency: War Communism in the Twenty-First Century. In our discussion, we will be addressing author Andreas Malm’s question: What does COVID-19 tell us about the climate breakdown, and what should we do about it?
• March 7 [Chapters 1 and 2]: Here, Malm lays out the foundational facts connecting the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and capitalism, while contrasting the world’s governments’ responses to this catastrophic era.
• March 21 [Chapter 3]: Malm proposes how the present emergency requires urgent and dramatic action, using historical references to the period of “war communism” after the Russian Revolution.

This event will be a peaceful protest to raise the voice to end the violence against women in Turkey and in the World at the State House.
There are things about this world they’re not fair. But they don’t have to stay that way. I am not sure if you ever needed people to stand up for you. It’s time for us to stand up for them. Even the director and chair of Amnesty International in Turkey was jailed once. The picture is worse than you think. Currently, there are more than 5,000 women political prisoners in Turkey and according to the Global Gender Gap index, Turkey ranks 130th among 153 countries in the World.
I know what it means to have support from the outside world, in that moment, when you are alone, when you need it the most. Join me and together let’s stand up for women’s rights in Turkey.
We will be practicing social distancing and will wear masks. We are not planning to hold a parade. Safety of our community is always our first priority.
