Moms are working in Ohio to fight for clean air and a stable climate. We host events, share information about what’s going on, and create opportunities for mothers to talk to their legislators about their concerns. Please join us in Ohio, and let us know about your priorities.
What We’re Working On
Tell the Ohio Senate: All Families Deserve Access to Clean Energy
The Ohio Senate is considering a Community Energy Pilot Program. This is an opportunity to increase energy produced locally in Ohio and reduce harmful pollution at the same time. Join Ohio Moms in calling on state lawmakers to support the Community Energy Pilot Program.
Tell the Department of Defense: Ohio Families Don’t Want PFAS Incineration
The Pentagon wants to burn toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” at a hazardous waste incineration plant in East Liverpool—threatening the health of families in Ohio and neighboring Pennsylvania and West Virginia. But it's not yet a done deal. Moms in the Ohio River Valley are speaking out against toxic air pollution in our region.
Tell Governor DeWine and the Ohio EPA: Ohioan Families Want Clean Air and Water
31 proposed toxic facilities threaten Ohioans' health and safety. Moms are working with SOBE Concerned Citizens to stop the proposed tire pyrolysis plant in Youngstown, but many more harmful facilities are on the horizon. If Governor DeWine allows them to move forward, the landscape of Ohio could be changed for decades to come.

Highlights
- State Representative Crystal Lett joins Ohio Moms to spread the word about petrochemical air pollution. In March 2025, Moms convened with Rep. Lett at the Dublin Library to talk about plastic pollution, the plastics recycling problem, and easy actions parents can take to help support clean air for all kids in their communities.
- Community action helps Fairfield County solar project. Ohio Moms are stepping up to empower their communities with science-based information about solar power—and it’s working. In early 2025, following an encouraging public hearing, the staff of the Ohio Power Siting Board recommended approval of the Eastern Cottontail solar project in Fairfield County. Moms feel optimistic as the community awaits a final vote.
- Moms sound the alarm on Freepoint Eco-Systems “advanced recycling” plastic burning facility in Hebron. In February 2025, Amanda Rowoldt’s video of toxic black smoke billowing from the facility’s stacks—and threatening the health of families across Ohio—caught the eyes of local reporters, a state representative, and the Ohio EPA, prompting an investigation of the Freepoint Eco-Systems’ emissions.
- Moms celebrate major win in Ohio “advanced recycling” fight. In November 2024, Moms’ Rachel Meyer attended the meeting where the Youngstown City Council voted to extend its moratorium on the development of a SOBE Thermal Energy Systems facility that would burn tires and plastics and pollute the neighboring communities. Read more.
- Ohio Moms speak out for a ban on vinyl chloride. In February 2024, Moms’ Tracy Sabetta gave testimony at an EPA public hearing about the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) prioritization review for vinyl chloride and other toxic chemicals. Read her testimony.
- Moms Clean Air Force spreads the word on the health impacts of oil and gas operations. In November 2023, Moms Tracy Sabetta and Vanessa Lynch joined the Evangelical Environmental Network and EDF for an informational webinar on tackling harmful methane and volatile organic compound (VOC) pollution in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
- Ohio Moms demand protections from petrochemical disasters like the train derailment in East Palestine. In March 2023, Misti Allison, East Palestine resident and Moms member, gave remarks before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation at a hearing about the February 2023 train derailment in her community. Read Misti’s testimony here and watch her interview with CNN.
Events and Resources in Ohio
Why We Care
Ohio cities are making bold climate commitments. In 2018, Cleveland became the first Ohio city to pledge 100% renewable energy by 2050, with Cincinnati following soon after, targeting 2035. In 2020, Moms helped launch Power a Clean Future Ohio, which is now supporting over 50 communities in setting measurable, equitable carbon reduction goals.
The work to reduce our communities’ climate pollution continues. In 2023, the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency received a $1 million grant under the Inflation Reduction Act to shape Ohio’s first regional climate plan, which is designed to cut emissions and help local communities deal with climate impacts.
Ohio has a smog problem. The American Lung Association gave 10 Ohio counties a D or F grade for ozone pollution—which means dangerous breathing days for the over 174,000 children with asthma in our state. Plus, fracking and petrochemical development endanger Ohio’s communities with toxic pollution, groundwater contamination, and even earthquakes.
