We’ll provide the necessary equipment to get the job done. Plus, we’re launching a community survey where we’ll gather insights on local housing issues.
Join progressive friends to socialize, network, and hear from Jerrad Christian, candidate for Ohio's 12th Congressional district.

Free and open to the public.
Potluck welcome.

Join our monthly happy hour, for $1.50 pierogis & camaraderie, at Pierogi Mountain, from 7pm - 10pm!
This is a great event for new members, or anyone interested in learning more about us, to attend.
Citizen Pollution Watch has logged hundreds of complaints from people near the Westerville Road industrial site. Residents report foul odors, dust, headaches, nausea, and burning in their noses and throats! Ohio EPA could now renew Scioto Materials’ air permit. The asphalt plant can make up to 400 tons an hour, yet the draft permit would not require its next routine stack test until 2030. That test would cover only three pollutants and leave out VOCs and sulfur dioxide.
Public comments close Saturday, August 1, at 11:59 PM.
