We need your help! Green Columbus is facing a funding challenge due to delayed grant reimbursements (Dispatch & NPR have covered the story), making community support more important than ever. One way you can make a direct impact is by volunteering with us at Crew Concessions—where every volunteer shift earns Green Columbus a donation, plus tips!

We need volunteers to work concessions at Columbus Crew home games and concerts. Each shift provides critical funding for our mission to grow and sustain Columbus’s tree canopy.

Although the nations of the world have pledged to respect a system of international law and global responsibility, the recent behavior of several countries provides a sharp challenge to this arrangement.

For over three years, the Russian government has conducted a brutal military invasion, occupation, and annexation of Ukraine―the largest and most devastating military operation in Europe since World War II. Defying Russia’s international obligations―including a peace treaty it signed with Ukraine, a ruling by the International Court of Justice demanding Russia halt its military operations in Ukraine, the UN Charter, and repeated UN General Assembly condemnations of Russian behavior by an overwhelming majority of the world’s nations―the Putin regime has stubbornly persisted with Russia’s imperialist aggression against its smaller, weaker neighbor.

My journey into the realm of people’s history began during my teenage years when I first read Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. This initial exposure sparked my curiosity about how history is constructed, and it led me to delve deeper into historiography—particularly the evolution of people’s history as an intellectual movement. Over the years, I encountered a wide range of historians, from Michel Foucault and Marc Bloch to Lucien Febvre and Chris Harman, each offering unique perspectives on the study of ordinary people in history.

Friends,

The actual Coup in DC is underway. I don’t want to waste much time writing this when most of you already know that, and because every hour right now is precious.

It is Day 18 of the Coup. If you had been waiting for confirmation of that, there’s no need to wait for the ref to look at the instant replay or make a call to the front office. None of what’s happened in these past 18 days is surprising, as I — like many of you — have been watching all of this unfold since the day he and his spouse rode down the “golden” escalator on June 16, 2015 to the cheers of the hundred or so SAG extras he had hired for the event. This was almost ten years ago.
