Join us in opposing ex-‘israeli’ Prime Minister’s welcoming on our campus. This war criminal has the blood of thousands of Palestinians on his hands and is a direct perpetrator of the ongoing ethnic cleansing and occupation of Palestine.

We vehemently oppose any attempts to welcome or commemorate war criminals. We will not remain silent while they are platformed on our campus.

Residential Installations Decline in 2023

The U.S. residential solar industry struggled last year, seeing declines in installations by about 26 percent in 2023. Much of this decline was due to changes in the net metering policy in California, which reduced compensation for those exporting power to the grid by about 75 percent. As a result, residential installations in California dropped by over 40 percent. 

In 2023, California accounted for 25 percent of all residential solar installed nationwide.

Other factors leading to the nationwide decline were higher interest rates as well as increased tariffs which added to the cost of installing a system. 

Residential solar only makes up about 22 percent of the overall solar market. Utility scale solar accounts for 72 percent of all solar installations with a dramatic 44 percent growth rate in 2023.

EMERGENCY RALLY
Join us at the Statehouse this Tuesday at 6pm to STAND FOR AMERICAN VALUES and Support Ukraine's Fight for Freedom.

Tuesday, March 4, 3pm
Ohio Statehouse
Speakers including local farmer and council member Christopher Gibbs, fired federal worker Wesley Stanovsek, as well as Ohio House representative Michele Grim.

Our goal is to make our voices heard, and refuse the anti-democratic, and illegal actions of the Trump administration, and those who follow. Trump is systematically purging everyone from the federal government that is not loyal to him above anyone else, including the American people and the constitution that he swore to uphold. The lives of every minority in this country are being threatened. We call for the legislators, and leaders of our nation to stand with us in these dire times.

This action is to oppose our university's decision to preemptively comply with and support SB1. As of now, the university has shut down our multicultural centers and removed faculty and staff from DEI positions, all while ignoring the glaring fact that an overwhelming number of the student body is in direct opposition to SB1 and subsequent actions taken.

Calling upon everyone: faculty, undergrads, grad students, staff and all campus workers, alumni, unions and community members - everyone who is opposed to the targeting of diversity, the surveillance of faculty, the restriction of classroom discussion, the anti-union restrictions of labor, and the rest. And this in a national climate that incessantly attacks so many in our campus and Columbus communities. 

At the start of March, the Ohio Power Siting Board – which is the government body responsible for approving or denying the project – is holding a final hearing in Columbus for Eastern Cottontail Solar.   

The Eastern Cottontail Solar Project is a proposed up to 220-megawatt (AC) solar powered electric generating facility on approximately up to 1,550 acres of privately owned land in Fairfield County, Ohio. Located within Walnut Township, the purpose of this Project will be to generate and deliver electricity to the bulk transmission system. The Eastern Cottontail Solar Project would include various equipment, including, without limitation, solar panels, inverters, and a project substation, all of sufficient size and capacity to achieve up to the proposed nameplate capacity set forth above.

It will be extremely important for the room to be filled with solar supporters. Please consider attending. There won’t be testimony from community members, as this is a legal proceeding where the public can observe. As such, all we’re asking for is your presence – and to wear green – to show your support!  

Ohio House Committees are currently hearing public testimony on HB 96, the budget bill for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. This state operating budget bill will determine if the third phase of the Fair School Funding plan is adopted. Implementation of the third phase of the bipartisan Fair School Funding Plan is essential to ensure our schools, children, and families receive the constitutional funding they deserve. Urgent action is needed to fully fund our schools. Submit written or in-person testimony; make calls; send emails.

Submit written or in-person testimony

Tension is high in Columbus amongst immigrants and activists, yet white America will never know the fear of being an undocumented immigrant of color, especially now.

Making things worse for our local immigrant community was a false Columbus Reddit post of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents stalking international grocery stores on the North Side back in late January. A post with no photo or video yet read by tens-of-thousand.

Whether it was a white advocate who mistook what they saw, or a miserable neo-Nazi out for more spite, is unknown. The Brooklyn-based The Haitian Times reported how the post led to “rumors” which “quickly gained traction, sparking fear in the city’s immigrant communities.”
