Fund Healthcare Not Warfare Webinar Series

Nurses

Sunday, July 26, 2020, 7:00 - 8:00 PM.
During the pandemic, the lack of investment in public health infrastructure, including health care for all, has had deadly consequences for tens of thousands of people. The $22.42 billion the U.S. will be spending this year to upgrade its first-strike nuclear arsenal could pay for 624 million corona virus tests, 747, 633 covid-19 hospital stays, or 6.6 BILLION N95 masks. This has to change. Our lives and security depend on it.  More information and registration here.

Reignite the Fight!

Letters C O O R

Thursday, July 23, 7-9pm
Ohio Statehouse
Hosted by COOR - Central Ohio Organized Resistance.
In recent weeks, our numbers have drastically gone down, which has led to an increase in violence and abuse by both police and other citizens against our fellow activists. We need to remind those in power that these streets are our streets, and we're not going anywhere anytime soon.
Join COOR, the Central Ohio Organized Resistance, this Thursday night, to let the city of Columbus know that we're still fighting. We're not giving up until our voices have been heard and we get the change we need.

Cameroon American Council & Partners Urge Community to Act Now, Free Wilfred from ICE Jail!

An inmate holding a sign saying The Anguish we are subjected to is too much for us

Pine Prairie, LA - Unless something changes very soon, an Ohio military family fears their family member Wilfred could be deported to Cameroon, the country he fled that is embroiled in armed ethnic conflict, and killed. The Cameroon American Council and its #AdvocateforDetainees program is calling on all people of good will to act now and #HelpSoldierAcha reunite with his cousin and save Wilfred’s life. 

In a letter about Wilfred to the Immigration Judge, Specialist Acha wrote: “[Wilfred and I] grew up together and went to the same school together right up to college, and he was a true good leader to look up to. He is hard working. Tebah Wilfred Tebah is respectful, fearful, and above all morally guided. He is a good man and will obey the laws, orders and policies as instructed.” 

City of Columbus should end deadly police exchanges

Pretty flowers and details about petition

As the city of Columbus is considering measures to reform policing in Columbus and restore confidence in the Columbus Police Department, we would like to encourage you to end training exchanges with the state of Israel. Though proponents of these exchanges often note that they occur at no or minimal cost to the city, we believe that the costs are tremendous and outweigh any possible benefits.
