We're working on four peaceful ways to peace and need your help on all four of them. None of them are easy, as they go straight through the U.S. Senate, the corporate media, the United Nations, and college campuses. Join in!
Ohio is among the top 10 states where gerrymandering runs rampant. Now, a chorus of Black Faith leaders are uniting and urging Ohioans to vote yes on Issue 1, which will end gerrymandering by empowering citizens, instead of politicians, to draw fair legislative maps in an open and transparent process.
A Florida resident named Isaac Menasche received a home visit this September from a police officer asking whether he’d signed a petition for a ballot measure.
The petition, which Menasche had indeed signed, was for a November initiative overturning a strict abortion ban that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed last year. Now the governor is attempting to discredit those signatures using state-funded cops. According to the Tampa Bay Times, state law enforcement officers have visited the homes of other signers as well.

As the cheating husband who drove his wife to a life of comedy in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Michael Zegen proved he can play a cad without losing the audience’s sympathy. By the end of the series, in fact, we were rooting for him almost as much as we were for his joke-telling ex.
In the comedy-drama Notice to Quit, as actor-turned-real estate agent Andy Singer, Zegen again relies on his natural likability. So, it seems, does first-time writer/director Simon Hacker.
Perhaps more than he should.
To be blunt, Hacker gives us almost no reason to cheer for Andy, an ethics-challenged New Yorker who’s down on his luck. To name just one of his vices, he regularly makes extra bucks by stealing appliances out of vacant properties and selling them to a ragtag gang of thugs.
Then, just as Andy is being evicted from his apartment because he’s behind on the rent, 10-year-old daughter Anna (a relatable Kasey Bella Suarez) shows up and wants to spend the day with him. She’s mad because her mom (Andy’s ex) is moving to Florida, and she doesn’t want to go.
Wednesday, September 25, 6-7pm, Whetstone Park of Roses Shelter House, 3901 N. High St.
What: Join us for a walk through Whetstone Park with Mort Schmidt. We will learn all about the trees that reside within this park. Join us for drinks and snacks afterwards at Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern, 4109 N. High St.
Why: To learn more about the trees that support the Columbus community!
Who: Open to the public; must be 21+ to enjoy drinks.
Hosted by Green Columbus.
Following his humiliating debate performance, Donald Trump is leaning even harder on the fear factor to rally his base. At the core of that strategy is engendering fear of immigrants. “We have millions of people pouring into our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums.” He is doubling down on his calls for mass deportation, promising “the largest deportation in the history of our country.”
I am concerned that Americans have only begun to imagine how devastating mass deportation would be. There are around 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US. Many are deeply established in their communities. The Migration Policy Institute estimates that more than three million own homes. What will it look like when millions of established families, many of them with deep roots in their communities, are forcibly torn apart?
