Students from Glenville High School, Laurel High School, Solon High School, and Cleveland School of the Arts will travel to Columbus on December 6 to support legislation promoting community solar. 

State legislators are currently considering a bill that could bring the benefits of solar energy to those who can’t, or prefer not to, install panels on their own home. If passed, House Bill 197, sponsored by Rep. James Hoops (R-Napolean) and Rep. Sharon Ray (R-Wadsworth) will create Ohio’s first Community Solar Pilot Program. For the first time, solar power would be available for renters, condos, townhomes, and most small- to medium-sized businesses who cannot install rooftop solar. This comes at a time when the nationwide Solar for All program is poised to help low-income Americans gain access to solar energy at an unprecedented scale. 

Missed Opportunities 

Jimmy sat at his desk in his office. The desk was cluttered with paper, logbooks, receipt books, pens and pencils, so much so that you couldn’t see the desktop. On the walls were posters of Jim Brown, the Cleveland Browns fullback football player, The Harlem Globetrotters world famous basketball team, Pam Grier, a popular Black B-Movie actress, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcom X. The room had a strong male musty smell, combined with pepperoni pizza and stale cigarettes. Jimmy hung up the telephone, shook his head and let out a loud sigh.

“Sissy!” he yelled.

His office door was flung open and in rushed Sissy with a cup of coffee in her right hand. Sissy Hanson had worked for Jimmy for over ten years. When she first started, she was returning to the workforce due to her husband of twenty-five years leaving her for a younger woman. Everyone tried to tell her that the other woman really wasn’t a “younger woman” because she was only three years younger than Sissy, who was forty-four at the time, but, in Sissy’s closed mind, she was younger than she was so therefore she was a younger woman. Case closed.

PLEASE keep acting, forwarding, demonstrating, speaking out. It does make a
difference.

The president of the Islamic University of Gaza Prof. Sufian Tayeh and his
family were killed in Israeli bombing in North Gaza (Jabalya) 2 December
2023. I updated the detailed post on attacks on institution of higher
education including the call that was signed by Prof. Sufian few days
before he was killed:

Those unfamiliar with Gaza and its history are likely to always associate Gaza with destruction, rubble and Israeli genocide.  

 And they can hardly be blamed. On November 3, the UN Development Programme and the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) announced that 45 percent of Gaza’s housing units have been destroyed or damaged since the beginning of the Latest Israeli aggression on Gaza.

 But the history of Gaza is also a history of great civilizations, as well as a history of revival, rebirth.

About “UnCharitable”

After three of the most dynamic and successful U.S. charities were shut down by conservative charity watchdogs, destroying lives and cutting off precious resources, many of the top influencers in the field knew something had to be done to overhaul the nonprofit sector.

Led by Dan Pallotta, whose record-breaking TED Talk on the subject has inspired leading philanthropists and changemakers, this feature-length documentary directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal exposes the dark side of philanthropy and introduces a radical new way of giving. In a powerful call to action, Uncharitable demands that charities be freed from the traditional constraints, so that they can truly change the world.
