2023 is coming to a close, and we’re taking a moment to celebrate all of the incredible work PCFO Communities and partners have accomplished this year! Here are a few of our favorite highlights: 🧵#LocalsLeadTheWay

[Joe Flarida @joeflarida]

@LepLeppla @PoweraCleanOH Thank you, Randi! We couldn’t do this without an incredible board supporting us!

[Nolan Rutschilling @NRutschilling]

Proud of @OECActionFund team for mobilizing around this and opposing quickly, with less than 48 hrs notice. We're going to ensure everyone knows this was a vote to raise Ohioans' utility bills to pay for gas lines to private corporations' offices.

[Power A Clean Future Ohio @PoweraCleanOH]

After 3 years and lots of support from our partners & champions, we’re establishing PCFO as a nonprofit! We’re excited to announce our Board of Directors, who will support our work with PCFO communities & expand our reach across Ohio. https://t.co/vdH6VezQAj #LocalsLeadTheWay

💡 Transparency & renewable energy investment– this @OhioCapJournal op-ed by our own @MGavinSr encapsulates how NOPEC can regain public trust and lead us towards a greener future. #CCA #RenewableEnergy 🌎 #BlackEnvironmentalLeaders

A fun and energizing day with @chrisronayne and Cuyahoga County mayors talking about the climate challenge and opportunities in the IRA! Thank you @GrowthOpps for hosting us & leading on green bank financing and Ohio’s energy transition! #LocalsLeadtheWay

[Chris Ronayne @chrisronayne]

Great to be with more than a dozen Cuyahoga County Mayors today who have signed on to Power A Clean Future Ohio. Forward together for a #HealthyCuyahoga

[Joe Flarida @joeflarida]

Been a busy three years! Ohio local leaders are stepping up and taking on the climate and energy challenges facing our state. So much more ahead!

It’s our birthday! We officially launched PCFO three years ago today. Thanks to everyone who helped us grow over the past few years, and a special shout-out to the 42 PCFO Communities across Ohio who continue to prove that #LocalsLeadTheWay!

[Mayor Seren @kahlilseren]

Cleveland Heights is committed to environmental and economic sustainability, thank you @PoweraCleanOH for supporting our work.

[Joe Flarida @joeflarida]

@cityofsandusky @TomHorsman @ericwobser @SecretaryPete @RepMarcyKaptur Couldn’t agree more! @ericwobser is one of the absolute best at what he does.

[Joe Flarida @joeflarida]

Transitioning our bus and train fleets nationwide to electric infrastructure would result in 4,200 fewer deaths PER YEAR. Let's pass #EJJA now and invest in our children's health. #JobsAndJustice https://t.co/JhoyEDJyin

[Energy Jobs & Justice Act @EJJAOhio]

As students across Ohio head back to school, many will be riding in buses that spew toxic pollution throughout their neighborhoods. Our young people deserve better. Let’s pass #EJJA and kickstart our transition to electric school buses! #JobsAndJustice

[Joe Flarida @joeflarida]

So many have pushed so hard for so long to get here. Feeling like a grab an oar moment here. Time to get to work! #ActOnClimate #localsleadtheway

[Power A Clean Future Ohio @PoweraCleanOH]

Moments ago, the #InflationReductionAct officially became law! Here’s what it means for Ohio, and why we believe this is another great reason for your community to join PCFO (if you haven’t already!). 🧵 #LocalsLeadTheWay

[Nolan Rutschilling @NRutschilling]

Pretty awesome to see our report on the costs of climate change to local governments featured in the Senate Banking Committee. Even better to see my friend @joeflarida give amazing testimony and speak truth to power.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

WATCH: Climate change is ALREADY destabilizing roads and forcing cities to redirect funds from essential city services.

[Joe Flarida @joeflarida]

Thank you @SenSherrodBrown & members of @SenateBanking for the opportunity to share Ohio’s voice on the costs we face with #climatechange. We cannot afford to ignore the climate challenge any longer. We must act now.

[Power A Clean Future Ohio @PoweraCleanOH]

It's been a couple of weeks since we released our new report with @OhioEnviro, "#TheBillsComingDue". We're excited to share our findings with @SenateBanking in Washington, D.C. tomorrow! But first, here is some great news coverage we'd like to share with you. 🧵 #LocalsLeadTheWay

[Joe Flarida @joeflarida]

Looking forward to this incredible opportunity to speak with @SenSherrodBrown and @SenateBanking members on #TheBillsComingDue report this Thursday. This is our chance to #ActOnClimate!

[Power A Clean Future Ohio @PoweraCleanOH]

PCFO is going to Washington! This Thursday at 10am, our very own @joeflarida will testify in front of a Senate Committee about our new report, “Borrowed Time: The Economic Costs of Climate Change.” Learn more and watch the livestream! https://t.co/HgNAeJvmTb #LocalsLeadTheWay

[Joe Flarida @joeflarida]

@AftabPureval @PoweraCleanOH Thank you, Mayor! We really enjoyed talking with you about Cincinnati’s leadership on climate action.

[Joe Flarida @joeflarida]

Finally the headline we were hoping for when we named the report!

If the public health, environmental, agricultural, migration impacts or any of the other climate impacts we are *currently* experiencing don’t wake people, maybe the dollars and cents will?

[Ohio Capital Journal. bsky @ohiocapitaljournal.com @OhioCapJournal]

Ohio’s cash-strapped cities and towns are going to need to find billions more a year to keep pace as challenges from climate change intensify over the coming decades, according to a new analysis.
