GrassRoot Ohio

Carolyn Harding with Claudia Sheehan, Anne Sparks, and Judy Smucker, three Athens County elders who traveled to northern Minnesota this week to support Indigenous women-led water protectors who are resisting construction of an enlarged tar sands pipeline that would take a new route through tribal lands, Enbridge Line 3.

“We stand in support of all who are trying to stop construction of Enbridge’s Line 3 pipeline because it would greatly increase flow into the U.S. of Canadian tar sands, a sludge with the same carbon-heavy crude oil as the recently canceled Keystone XL pipeline would have carried. This new section of pipeline will go under more than 200 waterways and cross Mississippi River headwaters twice. Construction, as well as likelihood of leaks, endangers resources, including wild rice, that are critical to survival of the region’s tribal communities.”

You are there at Line 3 in Northern Minnesota right now, tell us where this is and what is going on now......

There's a time to listen and learn, a time to organize and strategize, And a time to Stand Up/ Fight Back!

Carolyn Harding with Teresa Mills and Roxanne Groff, founders of the Ohio Brine Task Force, educating and organizing the people of Ohio regarding Oil & Gas liquid waste or, “Brine”, which is currently spread on our roadways for dust and ice control, sounding the alarm that this Brine is far more than salty water, in fact it’s dangerous - it’s Radioactive.

For almost 30 years Teresa Mills has worked as a grassroots leader to help communities to find their voices, analyze data and develop strategic plans. She began her activism career by shutting down the Columbus trash Incinerator, which was polluting her neighborhood and was later defined as the largest emitter of dioxin in the country. Teresa is the Executive Director of the Buckeye Environmental Network, a statewide coalition of grassroots-focused groups. Today she works with Center for Health and Environmental Justice to train and assist grassroots leaders across the country. Teresa also coordinates CHEJ’s small Grants Program

Roxanne Groff graduated from Ohio University and made Athens County her home. In 1978 she co-founded Save Our Rural Environment (S.O.R.E.), a grass roots group protesting the permitting of strip mines in eastern Athens County. Her interest in state law and the lack of implementation of rules by the regulatory agencies, led her to run for and win Bern Township Trustee and then Athens County Commissioner. Recently Roxanne has been working with Athens County Fracking Action Network (ACFAN), and Buckeye Environmental Network, opposing permitting toxic radioactive injection wells in Ohio and opposing the sale of mineral parcels on public lands, especially the Wayne National Forest in Ohio. She has lived off the grid for 45 years on her pastoral homestead in rural Athens County.

Two radioactive Brine Bills are before the 134th Ohio General Assembly, as we speak, Ohio House Bill 282 and Senate Bill 171, both written to establish conditions for the sale of Brine as a commodity. One such product, currently marketed under the name AquaSalina, was tested by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Results from the test revealed that this product contains high levels of Radium-226 and Radium-228.

There's a time to listen and learn, a time to organize and strategize, And a time to Stand Up/ Fight Back!

Carolyn Harding with Bill Lyons and Terry Lodge, organizer and legal council for the Columbus Community Bill of Rights and the Ohio Community Rights Network, fighting to protect the water, air, soil & rights of Columbus Metro and communities facing environmental, social, racial & economic harms throughout Ohio.

Bill Lyons is a mathematics and science teacher who has taught nearly 40 years on four different continents at the high school and college levels. He is a co-organizer of the Columbus Community Bill of Rights group and is president of the Ohio Community Rights Group. He has been an activist since 2015 when he got involved in the community rights and rights of nature movements because he is passionate about local democracy and social and environmental justice.

Terry Lodge has 50 years’ experience as an activist and civil and environmental rights lawyer. As a field attorney for the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund since 2014, he’s worked to gain ballot access for grassroots initiatives proposing controversial local laws such as the rights of nature and control of the commons. In court, he’s opposed nuclear power and weapons, corporate welfare, mountaintop removal mining, fracking, and has supported free speech and diversity in the workplace. He’s been recognized by the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability, has received an Access to Justice Award, and is a past Ohio Civil Liberties Union Champion.

On April 16, 2021, The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, or CELDF, issued a press release stating, “A lawsuit demanding the temporary suspension of a unique Columbus City Charter petition rule was dismissed by the U.S. District Court for Southern Ohio on April 14, 2021. Petitioners seeking to ban harms from the fracking industry within Ohio’s capital city and surrounding watershed filed the lawsuit in June 2020, arguing a June 2020 deadline on signature gathering was unconstitutional during the Covid-19 pandemic and should be extended. The deadline effectively killed ballot access for the initiative, according to the lawsuit. The rule places a one-year timeline on ballot initiative petition gathering. The group has met these requirements in the past, and had it not been for state shutdown orders, were in position to meet the deadline.”

So in effect the US judge Denied the Columbus Community Bill of Rights their Right for Direct Democracy.

Carolyn Harding with Cynthia Brown, Sabrina Jordan and Donald Wiggins, organizers and legal advisor for the newly submitted state-wide ballot initiative to End Qualified Immunity in Ohio.

Cynthia Brown is a Political Humanitarian, Advocate, Organizer, Strategist, Visionary. She is from Youngstown, Oh, where she

studied Media @ Communication, & Africans Americans Studies at Youngstown, Ohio, and continued her studies in Public Policy at Mesa Community College. She received the Slanczka Achievement Certificate for Diplomacy and the Distinguished Diplomate award for The Model United Conference 65th Far West in San Francisco. She is the Executive Director @ CEO of Heartbeat Movement Inc, and Committee Chair for Accountability Now Ohio.

Sabrina Jordan is the founder/chair of Ohio Families Unite Against Police Brutality, Inc. OFUAPB. She is the proud mother of Jamal Mcshann who was 22 years old when he was killed on October 15, 2013 due to gun violence, and Jamarco Mcshann who was killed when he was 23 years old on October 20th 2017 by the hands of Moraine, Ohio police officers. In February 2018, she had no choice but to stand up, and speak up about gun violence and police brutality, so she began building OFUAPB, “to fight against police brutality and make legislative changes in order to save lives, and to support our extended families, who, while not related by blood, are bonded to us through the needless bloodshed of our loved ones.”

Donald Wiggins began his career in local government and politics in New York City working on public housing and public safety matters. He relocated to Columbus, OH to pursue a Master of Public Administration degree at The Ohio State University—John Glenn College of Public Affairs. He went on to obtain a Juris Doctorate, from Capital University, to further his ability to assist a diverse range of communities and individuals in their quest to remedy challenges caused by ineffective, or nonexistent government policy. After completing law school, he pursued his passion for environmental law and policy, and worked to improve Ohio’s, and the Nation’s, safety net surrounding drinking water sources.

In January 2019 he began to practice law with a focus on appellate law and constitutional law, and in 2020, Donald founded a Civic-Tech company, Initiate Change, LLC., with a vision to develop the software and tools which help free societies flourish by improving citizens civic understanding and access to the levers of legislative and policy change.

Carolyn Harding (Host)w/ Justin Wells and Elizabeth Gentner - discuss Rank Choice Voting & Rank the Vote Ohio

Rank the Vote Ohio is a Non-partisan grassroots movement working to educate Ohio about the benefits and implementation of ranked choice voting. We are a non partisan, non-profit made up of Ohioans of all stripes across the entire political spectrum.

Justin Wells is a recent graduate from Cleveland State University, where he studied mechanical engineering. He has been the boots on the ground for Our Revolution and is now using his knowledge of canvassing and volunteer organization as the Co-Executive director for Rank the Vote Ohio.

Elizabeth Gentner, Co-Executive Director of Rank the Vote Ohio, believes, "Ranked Choice Voting presents a unique and compelling way to inject kindness, empathy and collaboration into American Politics. Everything about this method of voting encourages the candidates and the voters to find points of agreement. The systemic negativity, cynicism and polarization can be effectively removed from American Politics by reframing our voting around the question: "What do we have in Common?""

Carolyn Harding with Abbie Sigmon and Donny Murray, of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby.

Abbie Sigmon is the Citizens' Climate Lobby - Columbus Chapter co-liaison to Congresswoman Joyce Beatty's office. A proud native Ohioan, she has recently moved back to Ohio after living in Oregon, California, Pennsylvania, and China (but hopes to make Columbus her "forever home"). While living this rootless lifestyle, she has volunteered and worked for Save the Bay, Sierra Club, the Institute for Natural Resources, and various colleges and universities as an educator. In her spare time she is a music and soccer enthusiast.

Donny has been a long time advocate for the environment and has served in volunteer roles for Green Columbus and the Sierra Club. He also helped lead the successful effort to #SaveTheCrew. Over the past two years he's co-led the Columbus Chapter of Citizens' Climate Lobby. During the 9 to 5 hours he works at Nationwide Insurance as an Internal Auditor. He lives in Merion Village with his wife and son.

As an environmental activist, I know there are many fronts to sustainability, and just as many tactics. I’ve been rubbing shoulders with Citizens’ Climate Lobby volunteers for a good while, and we’re looking forward to learning what you are up to.
