Meeting

One calls attention to two pressing existential threats: nuclear war and the climate crisis. Traubman and Myers argue that despite various efforts to mitigate these concerns, society is not doing enough to truly address them. Failure to do so, means the world is headed toward sudden extinction by nuclear war or ecological degradation. The authors hope to encourage readers to make another choice by taking actions now that will ensure the next generations have a better future.
 

Petrochemical and plastic industry expansion is putting Ohio communities at risk.

Across the state, families are already dealing with air pollution from existing facilities, along with growing exposure to toxic chemicals like PFAS and microplastics linked to serious health impacts. New proposals would expand plastic production, increase fossil fuel infrastructure, and lock in decades of additional pollution.

Frontline communities, public health experts, and organizers are speaking out.

Say Something Southside is a neighborhood listening project focused on talking directly with residents and hearing what’s on their minds.

We’re organizing a canvass on Saturday, April 18 from 2–4 PM to connect with neighbors in a South Side precinct. But first we will have a canvass training so you can get ready!

This canvass training is on Tuesday, April 14 from 6:30–7:30 PM at the Driving Park Library (1422 Livingston Ave) so you feel prepared and comfortable before heading out.

If this sounds like something you want to be part of, please sign up!

Join our national call on April 9th at 7pm ET to hear the latest from the May Day Strong network: including our demands for May 1, the cities that have committed to No Work No School No Shopping, and how we are building the power needed to stop the billionaire agenda and build a future for our families.

We’ll break down what's happening May 1st, why it matters, and how you can join us.

This will take all of us

Members of Third Act Ohio along with Working Groups from other states will be hearing how we can promote Solar Automated Permit Processing (SolarAPP+) at the municipal level.   Solar APP+ is a free, web-based platform developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to automate and streamline the permitting process for residential solar and solar-plus-storage systems.  It enables local governments to instantly review and approve code-compliant projects, cutting permit approval times from weeks to minutes. 

Hear about the moratoria that is being called for by Third Act and its partners. Local and national legislators need to stop the rapid, unchecked build out of data centers. These speculative builds require massive amounts of electricity and precious water while doing little to stimulate the local economy. Join Third Act, Public Citizen and Food & Water Watch to explore ways community members can halt data centers from being built in their towns and cities. 

We’ll cover updates and then talk through preparations for the Great Ohio Climate March and how you can be involved even if you weren’t able to sign up to march with us.

The Great Ohio Climate March planning team will go through plans for the march, some different experiences we will have along the route, some of the partners who are contributing to the planning etc.  Get your last minute questions answered before the registration deadline of April 16th.
