Meeting

The City Council Non-Cooperation Campaign is focused on creating non-cooperation policies in cities around Central Ohio. We are developing resolutions which are presented to city councils, creating policies against cooperation with ICE and discrimination against trans individuals. Through this work our aim is to create protections for our trans and migrant neighbors, making Columbus and surrounding cities safer for the working class.

Join us next month, August 15th, for an online community conversation regarding policing. This space will be open to those who are 40 years and older. The goal is to collect information relating to your experiences with Ohio police forces, but in particular, the Columbus Police Department, Franklin County, and surrounding cities like Whitehall and Bexley.

Topics: CPD upcoming police contract, youth violence and engagement strategies, alternative solutions and more.

More open discussions will be held in the future.

Ohio ranks fifth for data centers, with over 200 built and 77 more planned. But significant community pushback has developed over the vast amount of water and energy they consume -- resulting in new gas plants to power data centers across the state. 

In this presentation, Save Ohio Parks discusses environmental and social justice concerns about data center energy use, and how data centers could be powered differently, along with recommendations for state and local officials. 

Buckeye Environmental Network, Policy Matters Ohio, and Fair Shake Legal Services are working together to offer monthly drop-in office hours for people with questions or concerns about data centers. 

Staff will answer questions, share resources, and help identify the legal, policy, or organizing support you may need. 

These office hours are open to anyone with questions about data centers or looking for support with local organizing. 

Drop in and talk with us! 

Join CA4C for an interactive webinar on the basics of congressional advocacy — and how to put those skills to work for Cuba.

We'll walk you through how to contact your representatives, what to say, and how to make your voice count. We'll also cover Cuba-specific legislation currently moving through Congress and the key talking points you need to make the case for lifting the bloqueo and ending U.S. intervention.

Whether you've never called your congressperson or you're a seasoned activist, this webinar is for you.
