Please join us as we rally for our Ohio state parks, climate, and democracy, on Friday, October 27, at 12noon, at the Ohio Statehouse, West Plaza, on the steps facing High Street.

This rally will bring together a diverse coalition of environmental, faith, health, and democracy groups to tell our state legislators — and the commission that will decide the fate of our beloved state parks and wildlife areas — that we the people own the public land and democracy in Ohio, and we want to see it protected, not fracked.

We deserve a fossil-free future.

We all want fresh air to breathe. Good jobs for our families. A planet where our lands and oceans thrive.

But the more oil, gas, and coal we burn, the more toxic air we breathe; the more heatwaves, fires, and floods we face. All while wealthy fossil fuel CEOs rake in record profits from dirty practices that pollute our communities.

We must show the Commission that Ohio’s commitment to fair maps has not wavered.

Learn how you can help stop fracking in Ohio state parks.

Salt Fork State Park — Ohio’s gem of state parks — is under attack. An oil company — we don’t know which one but have an educated guess — has applied to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to surround the state park with 16 frack pads that will frack an incredible 281 parcels under the park.
