They Called the Cops on Us
Our demonstration at the statehouse December 9 was a rousing success. We thank all our fellow activists and supporters for showing up! It’s the kind of on-the-ground, grassroots organizing that is our calling card.
Because we are citizen-funded, we need your help to keep up momentum over the holidays. Will you support us with a contribution today?
Santa and his elves delivered stockings filled with coal to all the naughty legislators who haven't yet acted to repeal the OVEC coal plant subsidies.
We know at least some of them made it to their intended recipients.
The real kicker of the protest though was when someone called the senate sergeant-at-arms to escort us from the building. As if we were the problem.
HB6 has forced Ohioans to pay more than $140.4 million in subsidies to bail out the OVEC coal plants: The Kyger Creek coal plant in Gallia County, Ohio, and Clifty Creek coal plant in Indiana. Over that same period the two plants have spewed more than 17 million tons of carbon dioxide into the air.
We won't stop until this bill is repealed in full- our future depends on it!
