Third Act Ohio w/ Jess Grim, Ted Wolner and Judy Smucker
Carolyn Harding with Jess Grim, Ted Wolner and Judy Smucker, organizers with Third Act Ohio, a branch of the national climate action organization for seniors, Third Act.
Jess Grim is Co-facilitator of Third Act Ohio. She's been involved in activism of various stripes for many years. Third Act - "over-60's" working to protect our climate and our democracy - came into existence at just the right time, as she recently retired and was looking for opportunities to engage actively with the fight to end fossil fuels and save our planet! Jess lives near Oberlin, in NE Ohio.
Ted Wolner is Chair of the Environmental Concerns Committee, at Kendal retirement community in Oberlin, Ohio. He’s Co-lead, of the Citizens Climate Lobby, Lorain County Chapter; and a member of the Coordinating Committee of Third Act OH.
Judy Smucker is a grandma who’s very concerned about the future our grandchildren are facing, and she has found it easy to find lots of “Good Trouble”. She feels lucky and very happy to have connected with Jess and Ted, when they were active at the Manchin Coal Baron Blockade. And when she heard they were starting a ThirdAct OH group, it sounded like a great idea. She’s fortunate to have friends who share her love the earth, and do all they can to protest the crimes against nature that are occurring. Judy is from Athens, Ohio.
You All took part in the Tuesday, March 21, 2023, “Rocking Chair Rebellion”, according to the NYTimes, where more than 100 climate actions were staged across the country by Third Act, a protest group for people aged 60 and older, co-founded by Bill McGibbon, the writer and climate campaigner. Why You? Why Now?
