Action Alerts
Not everyone obeys illegal and immoral orders. Sometimes trends even develop, tipping points are reached, in which people disobey en masse and set things right.
Large numbers of U.S. government workers are refusing to email Elon Musk, many are speaking out against illegal directives, and some are suing the billionaire leader of the DOGE fiasco.
What starts with refusal to censor basic English words or bury scientific data could develop into refusal to disappear political enemies.
We need to encourage civil disobedience before it is too late.

At noon Wednesday, March 12, a volunteer with Indivisible Central Ohio will present a staffer in Senator Moreno’s Columbus office with the below attached invitation requesting the Senator's attendance and participation at their town hall on March 22nd at 2PM.
At 12:30 PM, Ohio Progressive Action Leaders (OPAL) and Indivisible Central Ohio will host their weekly Wednesdays at Bernie's protest rally outside of Senator Moreno’s Columbus office to demand the Senator attend (or hold his own) in-person town hall during the upcoming Senate recess.
As Trump’s largest campaign donor Elon Musk takes a chainsaw to our federal government and wreaks havoc on Ohio and our country, Ohioans want their Senators to explain why they have failed to stand up for their constituents. Ohio citizens are frustrated by their inability to convey their concerns and get answers from either of their United States Senators. Senator Husted has yet to open a single office in Ohio, and Senator Moreno hasn’t shown his face publicly in the state.
WHEN:
Tuesday, March 11, all day
March 11, 2025 is the 14th anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
It's time for our annual boycott of grid electricity as a protest against nuclear power and to remember the victims of the Fukushima meltdowns, past, present, and future. March 11 is the 14th anniversary of the nuclear disaster that contaminated so much of Japan, rendering parts uninhabitable forever. That is a fate that could await any community near a nuclear plant anywhere in the world.
That's why, for the 24 hours of March 11, Fukushima Day, people will be boycotting grid power as much as possible. There are four Levels, from simple conservation through to putting more power on the grid using solar or wind than your household uses that day.

Friday, March 7, 12noon-3pm
Ohio Statehouse
Who should join: Anyone who wants to support science in a peaceful (but hopefully loud) way.
Where to go: We will be outside in the West Plaza of the Ohio Statehouse. This is the exterior area facing S. High Street. Look for the statue of William McKinley to know you are on the correct side of the building.
What to wear: It’s Ohio in March so watch the weather. With the weather in mind, we encourage people to wear their science stuff. Lab coats, safety goggles, or whatever neat science gear you might have that is safe in an exterior public gathering (so maybe leave the glass beakers back in the lab).
Signs: We love signs! Please do not mount signs on hard/wooden sticks though. They create a safety hazard in large crowds. Cardboard supports (like wrapping paper tubes) can be a good, safer substitute.
Bonus idea: active scientists, you can turn an old conference poster into a sign! Just use the back side to write/draw your message in support of science.

Tuesday, March 4, 3pm
Ohio Statehouse
Speakers including local farmer and council member Christopher Gibbs, fired federal worker Wesley Stanovsek, as well as Ohio House representative Michele Grim.
Our goal is to make our voices heard, and refuse the anti-democratic, and illegal actions of the Trump administration, and those who follow. Trump is systematically purging everyone from the federal government that is not loyal to him above anyone else, including the American people and the constitution that he swore to uphold. The lives of every minority in this country are being threatened. We call for the legislators, and leaders of our nation to stand with us in these dire times.
