Did you know: 1 in 10 Columbus residents are foreign born? Over 16,000 refugees have settled here? Ohio is home to 5,200 registered DACA recipients and 13,000 additional Dreamers who are eligible?
Come learn about our free six-month development program that trains young progressive and civic leaders, then join a panel discussion with leaders like City Councilwoman Elizabeth Brown; Human Services Chamber of Franklin County Executive Director Michael Corey; and Virginia Nunez, Co-owner and COO, Bottoms Up Coffee Co-Op and AVANZA Business Solutions. We'll talk about how Central Ohio is and should be responding to the needs of the immigrant, refugee, and New American populations as they come under assault from the federal government and as progressive local leaders fight back to protect and support them. 
There is plenty of parking around and in the Foundry at Jeffrey Park. 

A flotilla was organized by World Beyond War and The Backbone Campaign in front of the Pentagon on Sunday, September 17, 2017.

The U.S. military is responsible for 69% of environmental disaster Superfund sites in the United States. It's the biggest consumer of petroleum around, consuming more than most entire nations. It poisons large areas of the globe with white phosphorus, napalm, depleted uranium, and much more. It's the third biggest polluter of U.S. waterways. It also swallows up over 50% of federal discretionary spending every year, a fraction of which could dramatically transition the United States to sustainable practices.

We need to bring the peace and environment movements together. Here's a chance.

Go to WorldBeyondWar.org and reserve a spot at the #NoWar2017 conference happening Friday, September 22nd to Sunday the 24th at American University.

“Even if you’re the one charged, you will help create the answer.”

And the court has now come to order.

The speaker is Colleen Sheehan, the presiding judge of the Restorative Justice Community Court, which opened last week in the Chicago neighborhood of North Lawndale, after several years of intense planning.

As the Nazis ride again, British playwright Oliver Cotton’s brilliant play Daytona is about how fascism impacts and haunts survivors throughout their lives (and those are the “lucky” ones!) and what may be the first postwar “Antifa” in America. The two-acter opens mundanely enough, with an old married couple practicing for a dance competition in their rather routine, drab Brooklyn apartment, expertly designed with her usual deftness and eye for detail by Hillary Bauman.

But what is about to befall the seventy-something Elli (Sharron Shayne) and Joe (George Wyner) is anything but typical, as out of the blue, the long lost Billy (the peerless Richard Fancy) shows up to upset the proverbial applecart. Billy’s arrival from out of nowhere reminds first Joe and then, in Act II, Elli about who and what they really are and their deep dark past, as long buried secrets are excavated and revealed.
