In Knox County, Ohio, a powerful story is unfolding that shows exactly why your support is crucial.

Fossil fuel interests are waging a sophisticated campaign to block clean energy progress, using everything from shadowy front groups to compromised local media to spread misinformation about solar power.

In an age of targeted misinformation, there's one campaign tool that cuts through the noise: a real conversation at someone's front door.

Year round, our dedicated canvassers are out talking with Ohioans about utility-scale solar, armed with facts and ready to listen. While fossil fuel interests flood mailboxes with misleading flyers and fill local papers with biased coverage, we're building trust one doorstep at a time.

"I’ve seen firsthand how open and honest conversations can change perspectives," says Bella, our Rural Campaigns Manager. Just this week, she spoke with John, a local resident from Logan County who was unsure about supporting large scale solar. As they talked, John opened up about his concerns for his family’s future and the challenges facing the community. After hearing how solar projects can provide steady income for agricultural families, keep their land in local hands, and bring much-needed funding to local schools, John shared how hopeful he felt about the possibilities ahead. When people feel heard and can see how solutions align with their values, they’re empowered to take action.
