Dispatches from the Youth Climate Movement
With nearly 53,000 students enrolled at the Columbus campus, fall quarter is finally about to start at The Ohio State University. The involvement fair was today, and Free the Planet! OSU was rocking it.
At the end of the day, we collected over 500 new contacts through our 3 campaigns:
Mattie is a member of the Ohio Student Environmental Coalition's Steering Committee, an organization he founded at Power Shift 07. He is proud to support a growing statewide network of student groups working for a clean, safe, and just future for all. Mattie originally got involved as a Syracuse University student who saw a pressing need for climate action, later as an Energy Justice Network intern who began to realize the human impacts of coal, and finally as an OSEC organizer committed to building an economy and climate worth fighting for. He also has a degree in women's studies and sociology, is a founding member of the Mountain Justice Spring Break Planning Collective and an intentional community in Columbus, and is the convener of the Energy Action Coalition's Anti-Oppression working group.
