💡 Remember HB6? The corruption scandal that put Ohio families on the hook for outdated coal plants? This year, we ended another major piece of that scandal. House Bill 15 repealed the OVEC coal bailout—and it happened because Ohioans refused to stay silent. https://www.ohiocitizen.org/donate

Ohio election official Bob McCollister on SB 153: "Nobody thinks non-citizens should vote, but this is a problem that doesn't exist." LaRose's own fraud hunt found almost nothing, yet now he wants requirements that will disenfranchise rural voters, seniors, and married women. https://bit.ly/3Lscjpe

On Election Day, the Ohio Senate has an anti-voting bill sitting in committee. SB 153 pretends to be about election security but actually creates barriers to registration, increases provisional ballots, and creates hurdles to petition signature gathering. https://bit.ly/4orTNfo

Ohio's grid is strained by data center growth and residents are paying the price. A promising solution is HB 303, the Community Energy bill, would allow local groups to establish their own electricity generation, sell power to the grid, and receive reduced bills in return. https://bit.ly/49rgcob

Democrats and Republicans have agreed on a "compromise" map—but don't let that word fool you. This map is MORE gerrymandered than what we have now. Call these Commission members NOW and urge them to vote NO on these unfair maps!

For too long, monopoly utilities have controlled electric rates in Ohio. When you can cut out the middleman and generate power locally, Ohioans save $. HB 303, the community energy bill, makes it possible. https://bit.ly/3Lc5eJm

Ohio had a plan for 25% renewable energy by 2025. We barely hit 5%. How did that happen? This WOSU series connects the dots: the secret budget amendments, the FirstEnergy bribes, the billions in lost investment. Understanding history is the 1st step to changing our future. https://bit.ly/4npf1co
