All summer, millions of us have been sweating in record-breaking heatwaves and choking on toxic wildfire smoke. That's why we're joining together in New York City on September 17 at the

The humiliation of Palestinian women by Israeli soldiers in the occupied city of Al-Khalil (Hebron) on July 10 was not the first such episode. Sadly, it will not be the last. 

 Indeed, the stripping of five women in front of their children, parading them naked around their family home and then stealing their jewelry by an Israeli military unit, was not a random act. It deserves deep reflection. 

 Palestinians rightly understood the event - investigated at length by the Israeli rights group B'Tselem, in a report published on September 5 - as an intentional Israeli policy.

Witness the extraordinary life of Dr. Lonnie Thompson, an explorer who went where no scientist had gone before and transformed our idea of what's possible. Daring to seek Earth’s history contained in glaciers atop the tallest mountains in the world, we see the front lines of climate change, to recover these priceless historical records before they disappear forever.

The Quelccaya Ice Cap is located 5300-5670 meters above sea level in the southeastern Andes of Peru and is the Earth’s largest tropical glacier. The observed change in surface elevations on QIC is similar to those seen at other glaciers. However, the second-largest mountain range in Peru, the Cordillera Vil-canota (CV), south-east of the Cordillera Blanca, has received much less attention to date. Consequently, little is known about the timescales and equilibrium conditions of the vast majority of tropical Andean glaciers, and how climate variability affects their mass balances. In Peru, most studies have focused on glaciers in the Cordillera Blanca, which represents the largest mountain range in the tropics.

In Franklin County, there have been 56,714 evictions filed since 2020. In 2022 there were 2,311 foreclosure-related filings. More and more residents are unhoused. The Auditors property reappraisals and property taxes are coming due and their numbers are soaring.

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther has given out well over $600 million in tax abatements since he became mayor. Hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue that should have gone to Columbus City Schools went into the bank accounts of corporate Columbus, developers, and others. And the burden to make up for those who don’t pay their fair share of property taxes has been placed on those who can least afford to for too long.

Ginther’s policy of giving out tax abatements in return for campaign contributions has been escalating our affordable crisis for years. It is forcing low-moderate income homeowners and seniors out of their homes. Landlords who once provided truly affordable housing are raising rents where tax abated new developments are being constructed in gentrifying neighborhoods. This forces more and more people to move and find affordable housing that doesn’t exist.
