The LEAP Summit
The time for energy democracy has come: we believe not just in changes to our energy sources, but that wherever possible communities should collectively control these new energy systems. As an alternative to the profit-gouging of private companies and the remote bureaucracy of some centralized state ones, we can create innovative ownership structures: democratically run, paying living wages and keeping much-needed revenue in communities.
Next World Conversations
During Covid lock-down, we held monthly conversations on “what the next world might look like,” if we addressed the climate crisis in the same coordinated way that we addressed Covid, asking experts across central Ohio and beyond to converse together on their grandest visions for real change.
