Ohio State University administrators, led by Chief Financial Officer Geoff Chatas, plan to sell off our energy to a private corporation for monopoly control through the Comprehensive Energy Management Plan. This deal has been happening behind closed doors and it will only profit corporate CEOs and OSU administrators.

We will read and discuss the book, The Revolution Starts at Home: Confronting Intimate Violence Within Activist Communities.

Do you need government information to help advocate for change in your community? Do you want to use your blog, neighborhood newsletter, or community newspaper to empower your audience?
Ohio’s Sunshine Laws give people the right to access numerous government records and require the government to conduct official business in public. Citizens, activists, advocacy groups and others use these laws to monitor government actions and uncover potential wrongdoing.

Christians everywhere are being called upon to declare where they stand on the question of homosexuality. For insight into this question, they naturally turn to the Bible.

Join us for a book event with Bill Ayers, part of a national tour to celebrate the release of his latest book, Demand the Impossible!: A Radical Manifesto.
In an era defined by mass incarceration, endless war, economic crisis, catastrophic environmental destruction, and a political system offering more of the same, radical social transformation has never been more urgent. We must imagine a world beyond what this rotten system would have us believe is possible.
