We hope you had a relaxing holiday weekend. It continues to be a heavy time in Columbus. We are sad to report that we lost one of our key volunteers, Anthony Parker, unexpectedly. Anthony was an incredible organizer, and our hearts go out to his family and friends as we all process this profound loss.  

Our Stop AEP Rate Hikes campaign hit an important milestone last week. We delivered over 1,000 signatures to AEP HQ in downtown Columbus from central Ohio residents wanting AEP to stop these unjust rate increases. 10TV covered the press conference where several community members spoke about their experiences with high electricity prices.

We also continue to support the Reproductive Freedom effort to secure abortion rights in Ohio this November and local candidates on the side of this cause. This Sunday we'll be joining a canvass for Emily Cole, candidate for Hilliard City Council. Sign up here.

As always, we appreciate your support.
