Climate Activists Complete March from Southern Ohio to Columbus to Raise Awareness
A group of climate activists, led by the national organization Third Act, completed a 100-mile march from southern Ohio to Columbus, ending at the Statehouse. The 'Great Ohio Climate March' involved about two dozen hikers who trekked through various terrains, including areas affected by oil and gas drilling. The march aimed to raise awareness about environmental issues and the impact of drilling on state-owned lands. Along the way, activists met with scientists and naturalists, and were joined by Democratic lawmakers such as Sen. Paula Hicks-Hudson and Rep. Tristan Rader, who have been vocal against drilling under state lands.
