We take civic action in many ways: with our vote, by making calls or signing petitions, and through giving to the causes that we most value. On December 3rd, people around the world will come together for this international day of giving to amplify our collective impact.
Through a special matching gift opportunity, every dollar you contribute through December 3rd will be doubled by our generous partners.
In 2024, thanks to your support, the OEC made significant strides in protecting our environment and democracy:
- Safe Drinking Water: We secured stronger federal regulations to remove lead from our drinking water and introduced a bill to replace Ohio’s lead service lines.
- Clean Energy: We helped approve Ohio’s largest solar installation, the Oak Run Solar Project, which will boost renewable energy while supporting local agriculture.
- Healthy Democracy: We built momentum for fair elections, including opposing gerrymandering and advocating for ranked-choice voting.
- Protecting Public Lands: We prevented fracking in Ohio’s Wayne National Forest and continue to fight for our natural landscapes.
We will continue this essential work in 2025, focusing on key issues like securing state funding for environmental priorities, expanding voting rights, and reducing carbon pollution for a healthier climate.
Your partnership inspires us and we can’t wait to make an even greater impact alongside you this Giving Tuesday.
