After election season, we took time to celebrate what matters most: our incredible team. From a Dave & Buster's fun day to our first-ever board and staff retreat, we're grateful for the people who power our work every single day. 💚

HB 303 just passed the House! Community Energy gives renters, farmers & small businesses access to affordable, locally-produced energy. Community Energy connects in months, not years. As demand grows, we need affordable, local solutions to get electrons on the grid. On to the Senate!

BREAKING: FirstEnergy hit with $250 MILLION in fines for bribing politicians in the HB6 scandal. $180M goes back to customers starting in December. We're finally getting money back from the HB6 scandal! ⚡ ⚡ ⚡ https://bit.ly/47Qi8FV

For the first time ever, a county's renewable energy ban is going to the voters. Richland County residents collected over 4,300 signatures in just 30 days to put this on the ballot. "So now it goes to a countywide vote...instead of three guys." This is people power.

🚨 TOMORROW at NOON: The Ohio House Energy Committee could vote on HB 303—the Community Energy Pilot Program bill that would let communities generate their own power and lower electric bills. This is our chance for energy democracy! Watch live at ohiochannel.org

"We’re all tired of paying more for electricity. We can pay less if state legislators and utility regulators seize the moment and act in the interest of consumers — rather than the shareholders of utility companies." https://bit.ly/49ZFPN8

📊 New federal data: Electricity prices up 23% this year, another 8.5% coming in 2026. Data centers and crypto mining are driving massive demand surges nationwide, the Energy Information Administration said in its latest short-term energy outlook. https://bit.ly/48d02Oi

✊ When you knock on doors, sometimes you meet people who get it so well they write letters like this. Joshua from Stow nailed exactly why HB 303 matters: Clear rules, real protections, and benefits that show up on an actual monthly bill. Write to your rep today! https://bit.ly/47s49G6

💡 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 The corruption scandal that put Ohio families on the hook for outdated coal plants?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 House Bill 15 repealed the OVEC coal bailout—and it happened because Ohioans refused to stay silent.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!

HAPPENING NOW at the Statehouse 📍
They unveiled this new redistricting map TODAY and are voting on it TOMORROW at 10am. Less than 24 hours for public input. This is unconstitutional secret dealing in plain sight. Tomorrow, 10am, Room 313 at the Statehouse- BE THERE.

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

🇺🇸 🇺🇸 In a first-of-its-kind achievement nationwide, Richland County residents collected over 4,000 signatures in just 30 days to put their county's wind and solar ban up for a vote. The May 2026 vote is still months away, but Richland County has already made history. https://bit.ly/48QRI7R

Solar is driving renewable energy to new heights around the globe. Between 2025 and 2030, the world is expected to build nearly 4,600 gigawatts of renewables — almost double the amount built over the previous five-year period.

Ohio is at a critical moment in redistricting. With a deadline just days away on October 31, 2025, the Ohio Redistricting Commission must decide whether to honor voters' demands for fair maps—or allow the process to default to partisan control.

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
