Columbus Residents are working to ensure safe drinking water, clean air, and safe soil in the City of Columbus.

The Columbus Community Bill of Rights is an Amendment to the Charter of the City of Columbus. This rights-based amendment will give Columbus residents local control over the extraction of hydrocarbons and protect their unalienable rights for pure water, clean air, and safe soil, free from “toxins, carcinogens, radioactive substances, and other substances known to cause harm to health.”

When enough valid Columbus voter signatures are obtained, the Columbus Community Bill of Rights will be placed on the next Columbus municipal election ballot.

This session will ensure that all who have not previously gathered signatures for our cause will be able to have a training in order to be able to leave the session understanding what you have to do, cannot do, etc., when collecting signatures from the Columbus public. We will also brief you on the issue at hand, which, above all else in our particular community, is to create local control to keep radioactive frack waste, liquid and solid, out of our city limits and away from our water, soil, and air. You will leave with supplies, including petitions, so that you will be fully prepared to begin petitioning.
