From rapid response protests to coordinated mass mobilizations, we’ve been turning rage into power — and the American People’s Movement is only growing.

This isn’t a moment. It’s a strategy.

Nonviolent. Uncompromising. Community-led.

We’re not here to perform protest. We’re here to disrupt systems and build something stronger in their place.

Join us in celebration of the market's 9th year! Bronzeville Growers Market is building a sustainable local food system in a food desert. Every Thursday, 3-6pm.

Meet the people that grow your food, learn the origins and history of fresh vegetables and/or fruits, learn different ways to prepare food, purchase quality produce at a great price and connect with current and meet new friends from the neighborhood.

Traditionally, executioners, bank robbers, and killers in horror films wear masks. It's easier to do bad things and to frighten others when you cannot be held accountable, when you cannot be recognized as human.

Gangs of masked men are kidnapping people in the United States on behalf of the U.S. government, and refusing to identify themselves. They could be non-governmental criminals, for all anyone knows, and yet refusal to obey them is treated as a crime, even if their victim had not been accused of any other crime prior to that moment.

We're pushing forward three pieces of legislation in the U.S. Congress:

The VISIBLE Act — introduced by Sen. Alex Padilla, this bill prohibits ICE agents from concealing their identities.

The No Masks for ICE Act — introduced by Rep. Nydia Velázquez, this bill bans ICE officers from wearing face coverings that obscure their identities.

The No Secret Police Act — introduced by Reps. Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat, this bill closes loopholes that allow federal agencies to act as unaccountable secret police, shielding themselves from public scrutiny.

Israel is trying to deflect global outrage by promising more aid, but we know the truth: starvation, blockade, and mass killing are not accidents. They are weapons of genocide. Even if trucks move tomorrow, this is not a solution.  It’s a PR cover for genocide and the the world must not look away.  

Bring signs, Kufiyahs, Flags, pots and pans.

CALL TO ACTION: Show Up to Stop Taxpayer-Funded Genocide

Thursday, July 24
-2:00 PM
 
 Franklin County Treasurer’s Office, 373 S. High St., First Floor Auditorium 

Are you heartbroken and outraged watching the ongoing starvation and slaughter of children in Gaza? Do you feel helpless watching your tax dollars continue to fund war, apartheid, and genocide?

This is your chance to DO something.

In February, Franklin County Treasurer Cheryl Brooks Sullivan made the decision not to reinvest $5 million of our public funds in Israel Bonds — a move applauded by community members committed to human rights.

But now, Israel’s economy is being artificially propped up. War profiteering, booming weapons and surveillance industries, and an inflated stock market could all potentially help improve Israel’s credit rating — making it more likely that public officials could consider reinvesting in genocide.

We must show up and say: NO MORE!

In recent months, we’ve seen one media conglomerate after another offer what amounted to multimillion-dollar bribes to Trump by settling frivolous Trump lawsuits that these companies could not possibly have lost in court.

Last December, the Disney Company paid Trump a thinly-disguised bribe—$15 million to Trump’s future presidential library—to settle a harassment lawsuit against ABC News over a segment mentioning E. Jean Carroll's victorious case against Trump.

In January, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta made a bribe-like payment of $25 million to Trump to settle a ridiculous lawsuit after the company followed its own well-understood guidelines and suspended Trump from Facebook and Instagram for inciting violence on January 6, 2021 at the Capitol. (Note that Congress did not uphold the same basic standards for removing a president from office.)

What if a farm could go back in time?

Simply Living invites the public to a guided regenerative farm tour on Sunday, July 20, at the farm of Kevin Eigel and Marsha Miller, just outside of Columbus. This immersive experience offers a rare opportunity to witness more than 20 years of ecological restoration on a farm that’s being returned to the ecosystem that existed before it was first cultivated over 130 years ago.

Visitors will walk the land, observe restored native habitats, and learn how regenerative agriculture and ecological restoration practices can work together to heal soil, support biodiversity, and create resilient landscapes.
