THE TERRITORY provides an immersive on-the-ground look at the tireless fight of the Indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people against the encroaching deforestation brought by farmers and illegal settlers in the Brazilian Amazon. With awe-inspiring cinematography showcasing the titular landscape and richly textured sound design, the film takes audiences deep into the Uru-eu-wau-wau community and provides unprecedented access to the farmers and settlers illegally burning and clearing the protected Indigenous land. The Panel will include diverse perspectives on the crisis in the Amazon, including ecological, Rights of Nature, anthropological, and political/historical.
Watch Film Anytime between January 17 – 22 and join the discussion on the 22nd.

This month marks the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and we are coming together at the Ohio Statehouse on Saturday, January 21 to commemorate, demonstrate, and continue the fight for reproductive freedom. During this time, we will be hearing from folx in our communities that have had abortions and rallying for access for all. Stand up for Ohioans and help us maintain what reproductive rights and abortion access that we have while we work towards building something even better.

100 E Broad St, Columbus, OH – outside Chase Tower/Chase Bank
Protest against Chase Bank funding of the fossil fuel industry
Third Act Ohio, a group of "experienced" Americans 60+ will demonstrate outside Chase Tower to raise public awareness about how Chase and other big banks are funding the climate chaos we have witnessed in extreme flooding, wildfires, and droughts since 2018. Chase is by far the worst offender, having loaned $382B for fossil-fuel projects between 2016 and 2021. The International Energy Agency—long an ally of oil, gas, and coal companies—about-faced last year: it warned the world to cease all new fossil-fuel projects in 2021 to have any chance to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Third Actors will also be delivering letters to the bank's branch manager, and for delivery to Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.

From Amnesty International, USA
The military detention facility at Guantánamo Bay is a glaring, longstanding stain on the human rights record of the United States. Today, it continues to hold 35 Muslim men, most without facing charges or a trial. Many, like Toffiq al-Bihani, were tortured by the U.S. government. And Toffiq, along with 19 other detainees, has been cleared for transfer to other countries, yet he remains behind bars without charge or trial.
President Biden has a critical window of opportunity to end these ongoing abuses by closing the detention center before the end of his term.
Help us close Guantánamo and ensure the transfer of all cleared detainees to countries where their human rights will be respected.
Act Now to tell President Biden to shut down the Guantánamo Bay detention facility!
