Are we the next Minneapolis? ICE is expected in more Ohio cities soon. Gov. DeWine says he supports the Haitian community, but actions speak louder than words. Send him a message now to say we can't have Ohio law enforcement working with ICE! social.redwine.blue/s/7kboudBX

Save Ohio Parks warns against expanding frack leases under public lands Ohioans converged in Columbus to call out the environmental havoc that extending lease terms to frack Ohio's state parks and public lands will cause.

ICYMI: No state but Ohio fracks its state parks and public lands. @saveohioparks.bsky.social: bit.ly/4a3TNvV

Why do Gov. Mike DeWine and Sen. Brian Chavez frack Ohio when public lands were set aside for the use and enjoyment of all?

Ohio won't stop fracking Ohio state parks, public lands until we stop them-- by electing lawmakers who prize the environment, not monetize and desecrate it.
