Jacob's Porch, 45 E 13th Ave, Columbus, OH 43201

Join Central Ohio Revolutionary Socialists, @fsjp_osu, and @workersvoice.ohio, for a presentation and discussion examining the reasons for the United States unequivocal support for Israel and the ongoing genocide.

In order to effectively fight for Palestine, we must understand what we are fighting against. We will discuss the role of U.S. Imperialism, the nature of zionism, and the history of this “special relationship.”

We welcome all to come discuss these burning questions for our movement. Feel free to invite others and share the event.

The meeting will take place at Jacob’s Porch (near OSU campus in Columbus) and there will be an online option available at cbus.work/meeting

Data Centers sparking rate increase

Data centers in PJM, the largest U.S. regional power grid that serves customers from New York to Chicago, are adding billions of dollars to ratepayers' electricity bills and increasing the odds of potential power shortages, a new analysis shows.

Projected electricity demand from the rise of artificial intelligence is rippling across U.S. power grids. A report by Monitoring Analytics, the independent market monitor for Eastern grid operator PJM Interconnection, estimated that current and planned peak power will add nearly 12,000 megawatts to the expected peak power demand next summer.

Added Power demand drove up PJM's July capacity auction by $7.2 billion, an 82 percent increase over the previous auction.

Ohio Statehouse, Columbus
For almost two years, Ohioans have been organizing across the state to demand divestment from Israel. Our tax dollars should not fund genocide, apartheid, or the starvation of millions in Gaza. Our tax dollars should be used here—to support education, housing, infrastructure, and public services.

On the two-year anniversary of the beginning of this ongoing genocide in Gaza, organizers and community members from around the state will come together to demand a permanent end to all of Ohio’s ties to Israel. We demand an end to Ohio’s complicity in genocide. 

Stop HB 324! Protect Mifepristone

Ohio House Bill 324 would restrict access to mifepristone, a safe and commonly used abortion medication, and force doctors to deliver state-mandated medical misinformation.

An opposition hearing will be held by the House Health Committee on Wednesday, October 8th, at 10AM. Please attend if you are able. We want them to know we are watching and that we reject government interference in personal health decisions. 

An October 5, 2025 gathering at the Ohio Statehouse to demand an end to the genocide in Gaza.

Voting is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape our communities and demand the change we deserve. Our people have always known that self-determination is the key to freedom. And we must advance our agenda for freedom by using all the tools at our disposal, including the ballot box, to increase our power. It’s more important than ever that our people are registered, informed, and ready to vote.

Join People’s Justice Project for a free, dynamic, in-person event, where you’ll learn how to have impactful conversations and engage our communities around the importance of voting. After the training, we’ll head out into the neighborhood together to register voters and help increase connections in the community.

Lunch will be provided. No experience needed—just a commitment to building power for our people.

At this event, you can expect to learn:

• How we can engage with apathetic potential voters
• Canvassing Best Practices and Roleplay
• Voter Registration Best Practices

You will also have the opportunity to build community with organizations from around the state and the region!
