Trintity Episcopal Church, 125 E. Broad St.
Join us on November 18th to make history. We will dedicate a 50-year time capsule to record what Ohioans love and are fighting to protect from climate change. It will be an interactive, inspiring, and family-friendly event where we will celebrate the people and places we are fighting for. Governor Kasich will be given an opportunity to write a letter pledging his support to uphold the Paris Agreement and stop the proposed fracking of the Wayne National Forest and the construction of the Nexus, Rover, and Utopia pipelines. We also call on Regional Forestry Manager Kathleen Atkinson to withdraw her consent and stop the proposed fracking of the Wayne National Forest.
We need YOU to help fill this time capsule! Please bring--
-An object (small enough to fit in your palm) representing what you love and want to protect in the face of climate change
-A letter to the future generations
