WHAT? Join us for an online expert briefing for members of Congress and their staffs, relevant agencies, advocates, journalists, and concerned citizens on the growing problem of radioactive contamination of US food and water and what Congress can do about it.  The briefing features leading researchers and advocates and is organized by the Fukushima Fallout Awareness Network (a project of the National Institute for Science Law & Public Policy) and co-sponsored by the NGOs Beyond Nuclear, Citizens for Health, Ecological Options Network, Food and Water Watch, San Clemente Green, Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR National as well as PSR’s Greater Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco Bay Area chapters).

Pastor Roscoe D. Robey of the 7th Avenue Community Missionary Baptist Church has helped support the Weinland Park area with his spirituality since 2009. His church has tangibly been a part of Weinland Park’s revitalization, albeit in an aggravating kind of way. And what he’s had to deal with – mixed-use development crowding his church on both sides – could be a “Zone In” harbinger of things to come for those homeowners or small businesses in Columbus’s major corridors.

Just a short walk up from High Street, the church has been a source of help and inspiration for the Weinland Park community for roughly 60 years. The congregation’s summer project of raising money for school supplies is underway, and they are mentoring young boys from the neighborhood who are in trouble, Pastor Robey told the Free Press.

“We have a big thumbprint, and often times when folks get into trouble and need a little help, they can come to us, and they come to us, because I lobby for things downtown,” said the Pastor who is pictured above top left.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced articles of impeachment against Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. 

Both justices have been embroiled in ethics scandals and had glaring conflicts of interest in the Trump immunity case — where the right-wing justices granted “absolute immunity” to American presidents.

The articles of impeachment are based on Thomas and Alito’s acceptance and failure to disclose lavish gifts and luxury travel paid for by GOP mega-donors and others with interests in pending SCOTUS cases. AOC also targeted the justices’ mysterious income, failure to recuse in cases with clear conflicts of interest, and connections of their spouses to court proceedings — like Ginni Thomas’ involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
